Architecture

I have always had an intense interest in buildings and houses, more from their practicality and functionality rather than their appearance. Over the years I have collected floor plans and looked for clever and usable ways to define spaces in a home.

This unexpectedly but pleasantly led to the creation of my own hearth and home,
which I designed and built over a 14-month period in 1993 and 1994,
an experience I would gladly repeat.
