THE YEAR

‘‘The first of my designs that I can remember was when I modified a toy car my dad bought me when I was five years old. I swapped the wheels of a bigger car onto the smaller, newer car, much to his amusement and dissatisfaction. He thought I had ruined the new car.’’
‘‘My design philosophy: Always be consistent in whatever you do and create buildings that don’t hurt the eyes when you look at them.’’
‘‘… beautifully defined spaces, whether large or small, urban or domestic, can affect our emotions and resonate with our senses.’’
