Design Philosophy:
I believe that a good Architect should be a good listener, one who can translate a clients' needs into useful and successful architecture.
Using a contextual approach, I consider the elements of a building site, its surrounding structures and the specific needs of the client to inform the architecture.
Combining the proportions and detailing found in traditional architecture with a modern interpretation of space and form, my approach addresses the trends of today's lifestyle.
