Why Measured?
For their attention to materiality, detail and craft from interior to exterior of each project.
Earliest architectural memory
I grew up in a 2 storey house overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. I’ll never forget the feel and sound of the house shaking in +100 km/h winds.
I’m drawn to design because
I believe good design can enhance the way we live.
Materials that excite me
Light, wood, stone, and buttery-soft leather.
Dream commission
A cabin in the woods.
I chose Vancouver because
I like to be close to the ocean.
I’m inspired by
My twin sister.
