About 

I designed my first building in 1993. It was just a shed but it has become an iconic structure in the region.
I worked on the construction during my university holidays which served as a valuable insight into the building process.
That project greatly influenced my style as I progressed into my professional career. Whether it be simply visiting a site regularly or as in the case of El Toro, where I built the entire house from  the ground up, I am hands on.
Having a thorough understanding of the reality of construction has served me well. I can design from a very practical vantage when necessary or I can choose to be experimental with a solid understanding of the subtle complexities of materials and the construction process.
