Architecture…must give a sense of well being and compatibility.

We believe that the built environment must fulfill the needs of the people, both spiritually and physically. As such, the domain of culture, climate and context are central to my design philosophy. These are, however, the starting points of the larger design process. The ultimate creation of meaningful architecture is a rigorous synthesis of many parts: invention, symbolism, form, texture, movement, relationship to the surroundings, sustainability, services and character. The question of utmost importance is the determination of a buildings’ effect on its users and onlookers; can it elevate ones’ sense of well being and compatibility.

A “whole” or completeness in architecture-design is achieved when the design has acknowledged, translated and incorporated all these elements.

The creation and conception of architecture must entail a constant dialogue- to bring together the myriad of realities into the realm of an architects’ world of wonder and imagination.
