To me, the main purpose of architecture is to produce a sense of place. A sense of place that arises at a moment in time, when a specific group of people are working together, within a specific cultural context, at a specific geographical location. Navigating through that concoction of circumstance and chance in order to produce a building that carries a deeper meaning is to me the essence, and the charm, of what I do.

Secondly, I go by the belief that good architecture oftentimes seems deceptively effortless. It seems as if it has always been there, the answer to some question no one remembers. This is in stark contrast to the chaotic process of actually making architecture.

And finally, I want all architecture I produce to have a distinctly positive humane quality to it. Buildings that are good for the people in and around them.

These are the underlying values that stay constant, and which I hope shine through in my work.
