The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not... Culture is fast, Architecture is slow. We are all fascinated and stimulated by the changes and developments in other creative media and technologies. Architecture continuously looks for opportunities to borrow and imitate. Architecture is another thing. It is limited by its mundane purpose, its relative permanence and its economics... This website showcases commissions within my independent architectural practice and key projects that I worked on as a consultant (see credits). Common to all the projects is an adherence to the tenets of Modernism, a rational method that favors simple and elegant solutions, and a consistent design approach that is responsive to culture and context. Le Corbusier's quote about humankind's basic need for space + light + order serves as a starting point for all my design endeavors.
