…call it Design Wisdom

·       I am an architect, with a background in building, technology, conservation and teaching;

·       I draw out solutions based on clients’ soundings;

·       I consider the whole project - I like an holistic approach;

·       I favor a physical solution to a technical solution;

·       I stoke the spaces between buildings, the leftover and the adjacent – interstitial spaces - that offer more than expected;

·       I expect materials to do what they say and have a fondness for the trabeated;

·       I like to design using colour, type, narrative and place;

·       I invoke the historical, respect the vernacular, and delight in the contemporary;

·       I like to work across scales of buildings and ecologies.
