I believe compelling architecture balances the rational and emotional. In rational terms space must be functional: it ought to be buildable and navigable, with a home for all necessary components. Emotionally, it must convey a sense of wonder, inspiration and expectation. It must then become an architecture of common sense, an architecture found between the rational and emotional.



Design inspiration comes from many sources;  curiosity, seeking questions,  in depth critical study of program, site and context and a hands on approach to solutions. Learning comes from a love of travel, travel being experiencing through explortion and discovery of the different, unfamiliar and unexpected complexity of places and peoples of the rational and emotional. 



I enjoy travel, hiking, reading, meeting new people, cooking for friends and family and anything to do with water (ice and snow included).
