About

Architecture

“Lab planning is a limitless opportunity to learn from the best:  scientists, engineers and educators.  They benefit from every one of my past projects and clients.”

“Labs deserve as much scientific and engineering inquiry as the research they enable.  The best labs are beautiful machines that are a joy to use.”
