I believe that as a designer, or artist, we have the power to influence the lives and well-being of others.
A beautifully captured and framed portrait on a wall will bring a moment of joy to a viewer every time they walk past it. In the same way that the photographer created artwork in a moment in time that will bring joy for a lifetime, so too will a well designed house influence the lives and well-being of its inhabitants.
Let's address one small aspect of a home design — orientation. If a house is poorly orientated it will be unbearably hot in summer and extremely cold and wet in winter. The inhabitants will dread spending time there. The negative influence that their surroundings impose will affect their well-being, even if only in a very small way.
On the other hand, if you live in a well designed house, that home becomes your sanctuary of well-being. You will look forward to coming home. I believe that a well designed house will positively influence its inhabitants and bring joy — and those individuals will go out into the world slightly happier.
I have always felt that my calling in life is to enrich the lives of others through good design.
