To be great, architecture must be thoughtful and elegantly crafted to reflect the context in which it sits. My love of design stems from its ability to envelop the senses and to stimulate the imagination. An ideal work of architecture provides the user with new visual, spatial, and tactile experiences by presenting a new view, suggesting a touch, or persuading an emotion. Architecture should not only enhance the physical qualities of living, but uplift the spiritual qualities as well.
