The optimal state of consciousness for creativity, performance, and clarity.

flow/ state

I call it flow/ state - that rhythm where design feels natural and necessary. Ideas move effortlessly, form follows feeling, and design becomes instinct - it’s the mode I work in, and the experience I strive to create.

This body of work reflects my pursuit of that state through architecture: designing spaces that are not only shaped by spirit of place and inescapable site forces, but that return something essential to those who move through them - environments that foster clarity, focus, and presence, and bring people into rhythm with themselves and their surroundings.

“find the best spot on your site, and don’t build there”

architecture shouldn’t necessarily take root at the location of the perfect view or rock perch - architecture should defer to these natural locations to allow them future access outside of the built environment - an excuse to leave structure and re-enter nature to enjoy that special place
