I am influences by modern and traditional architecture
wherever I travel, taking notes and photos to inspire
new ideas.

I am particuarly inspired by Japanese wooden architecture.
What can at first seem mind bogglingly complex to the European
carpenter's eye, often turns out to reveal an ingenious and deep
understanding of wood and it's many properties.

Finally I love to add an element of the magical or
the fantastical. A comical note like the illustrations
in childrens books of wondereous castles and hobit holes.
And I like to give an unexpected suprise, to raise a
subtle smile, or just poke a little fun at the ordinariness
of our built enviroment.
