“I don't enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows...” — Kevin McCloud Quote

I don't enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows, small spaces, old furniture.

Because I live in the countryside, I want a building which encourages me to have a fully formed relationship with the environment. It gives me an opportunity to not just be inside or outside, but in a range of contexts.

The more of your private life you put into the public domain, the smaller your private life becomes.

I admire anyone that follows the road less travelled.

Generally speaking, I think that if you do anything with commitment and passion, it will come good.

I actually have a hard time finding furniture I like.

The town I came from really had one industry, and that was furniture.

And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture.

I make very basic country rustic furniture.

It's very hard to transgress; we have the furniture of transgression without the imagery and iconography to actually do it.
