‘My way of living is my way of designing’
Being open to new insights, creative in thinking about life. So I design spaces where humans stand central in relation to their environment.

The trick is to design physical spaces that fit well within needs of its users, whether it concerns public areas, buildings or interiors.

Architecture is an expression of art within the limits of freedom. Where the users, aesthetics and technology form a cohesion. Many decisions that I make during the design have an emotional weight. What does the user feel as he stands in this space? What does the user feel as he walks down the hall? What does the user feel as he looks? The design communicates with the user that is experiencing it.

Each space has its own voice, its own face, its identity. Each design tells a story!
