| One
of the enjoyments in my life is to practice architecture.
My objective is to design buildings
of high architectural merit and to end up with highly satisfied
clients.
The fundamental motivation is the
satisfaction of creating quality buildings that are environmentally
sustainable, sympathetic to their sites and the cultural context
they are placed in.
I strive for these buildings to fulfil
the functional and aesthetic requirements of my clients and
to enhance their lifestyle through inspiring living environments.
I aspire for these buildings to enhance
the social and cultural environment they find themselves in.
The buildings should be relevant commentary to social change
and interact positively with their surrounds without descending
into the mediocrity of imitation.
My architecture explores new technologies
and materials. I work closely with local trades people to make
the best of their skills and expertise.
I am inspired by and indebted to
many generations of architects before me and to the vernacular
architecture of many peoples in our Asia – Pacific region
as well as in Europe. I pay respect to these traditions.
My work, I hope, represents these
values and aspirations.
