Earliest architectural memory
Does Lego count?
Architect I admire most
Peter Zumthor for his rooted, phenomenological approach intertwined with material play.
Favourite space
My off-grid log cabin near Manning Park.
Materials that excite me
Wood, metal and any odd salvaged materials.

Ball point or felt tip?
I’m a felt tip enthusiast.
I’m surprisingly good at
Chopping wood and jigsaw puzzles.
