This places great demands on the artist. The work should not
only be pleasing to the eye, it must also function well on
technical, emotional and economic levels. This poses an
irresistible challenge for an architect. I want to create homes
that, like people, age graciously and that one day may share the
joy of children and grandchildren or welcome other new
occupants.
I received several scholarships in school for drawing. I also did
well in physics. I loved to read and also loved woodworking. This
makes an ideal combination for an aspiring architect. You tend to
become good at what interests you. At an early age I had a love and
a longing for things of beauty, genuine and simple things. I get
these traits from my family which has included many generations of
architects through the years. Their knowledge is my inheritance.
The rest is an irresistible desire to travel on the road to
discovery. For 25 years I have enjoyed my work along this road with
my clients, turning dreams into reality in projects large and
small.
And who are you?
Most of my clients realize that they are not good at everything.
But they know what they want and are good at prioritizing. They are
also clever, interested and emotionally generous. They appreciate
quality material and solutions, both in the details as well as in
general. We work closely enough so that we maintain an important
balance between the creative process and the ever-present budget.
Together we create something special that gives expression to a
feeling and a lifestyle. In short, my clients are just like
you.
