I am a licensed Architect with an extensive record of accomplishments in a wide variety of building types. I have been working in architecture since I was sixteen years old and it is still my passion. I had an interest in buildings and landscaping at an early age. I was born in New York and grew up on the West Side of Los Angeles,spending seven years in London at the turn of this century. My current practice was founded in 1978. I have a long list of Satisfied Clients, many of whom are multiple Repeat Clients.

We are highly flexible, original and innovative, and able to produce significant results on the grandest and tightest of budgets

THOUGHTS ON ARCHITECTURE

The challenge to Modern Architects has always been how to make a building interesting in the absence of ornament.

Architecture is living and thriving in a stimulating environment that has a subtle presence exuding its design philosophy.

What I strive for in my Architecture is that beyond function which is a given, I create sculptural objects to inhabit.

Architecture should speak of its time but not trends of its times. It should be an expression of the time it was created.

I do not specialize but am experienced in, and deliberately seek. a broad range of project types with a broad range of budgets to avoid designing by rote.

I understand the importance of building codes and how to get the most out of them for my Clients.

THOUGHTS ON INTERIORS

Furniture should be scaled to to the person and not the size of the room. Larger rooms allow for greater occupancy and should be reflective of that.

Four pieces of furniture cannot make a room or that placing any more would compromise the integrity of the Architecture.

Sister Parrish is a constant inspiration. Even though a traditionalist, few people could lay out a room for multiple sub-functions as well as she.

Beyond function, which is a given, I curate an interior much in the same way an art collector assembles a collection. I use pieces of intrinsic value which can stand the test of time.

Furniture can increase in value if selected properly.

My taste is broad and extensive, based on a firm knowledge of Architectural and Design history and appeals to most people and celebrities as well.

Luxury is fulfilling one’s inner needs, is personal and is not about the insecurity of cost and display.

Connoisseurship is essential as is permanence.
