My Approach to Architecture and Design

My work is inspired by the hopes and needs of my clients in conjunction with my desire to integrate the physical, emotional and spiritual realms.  A particular architectural style is of less importance to me.  Structure, natural light, mechanical and lighting systems, materials, details, spatial volumes and adjacencies, the relationship to the site and a multitude of other factors all play a part  in creating a building of worth.

Great architecture is built upon a continuum of the work of famous and lesser known architects through time.  The best work integrates elements of the human experience, both physical and spiritual, with the artistic and functional aspects of a building and its site.  The end result must be a cohesive whole that works on many levels.

In my past experience working for others, I have sought out architects whose work I respect and enjoy and from whom I have learned a lot.  I have had a broad range of experience working on many building types at all different scales.

I seek to do work that has resonance and offers my own voice. Collaboration with input from many sources is a key element to a successful, functional and beautiful project.
