We desire a comfortable well-arranged home, simple, in good taste, and not ostentatious.

Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space.

As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.

Innovation is often the ability to reach into the past and bring back what is good, what is beautiful, what is useful, what is lasting.

Real comfort, visual and physical, is vital to every room.

Form follows function—that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.

The details are not the details. They make the design.

Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style.
