MY PERSONAL DREAM HOUSE WOULD BE...
A more ambitious house than the ones I have previously built, one along
classic Palladian lines. This house of my dreams is already designed and, in fact, already
has a name: Temple Mount. As in my wonderful childhood home beside the Indian
Ocean, the property would be elevated, with panoramic views of the sea.
WHO OR WHAT HAS INFLUENCED
MY STYLE...
There have been two major influences. The first was Le Corbusier. His Villa
Savoye outside of Paris changed me forever as a teenager. I had never seen architecture
before, nor have I since, exhibiting such purity. It set a standard of design integrity
that has followed me throughout my career. More recently, the designs of the 1940s
master Gilbert Poillerat have helped focus my creative direction.
THREE ESSENTIALS FOR ENTERTAINING ARE...
A congenial atmosphere is elementary, and I believe that lighting establishes
this more than anything else. No one can relax under a spotlight. Traffic flow is also
important when serving and seating guests. No one enjoys being repeatedly
bumped and jostled. And in my book, a good chef is de rigueur.
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE (OTHER THAN WHERE I AM), IT
WOULD BE...
The Mediterranean—I've always had romance with it. The south of France,
the Italian Riviera, North Africa...the all have immense appeal. If I could choose one
spot as a permanent escape hatch, it would be Capri. The beauty of the island never
disappoints.

WHEN I BEGIN WITH A NEW CLIENT, I ALWAYS...
Attempt to understand their expectations, wishes, dreams and desires. I look at
their existing home or homes to see how they live. I inventory any furniture and art
that they are considering reusing.
THE MISTAKE MOST PEOPLE MAKE WHEN DOING THEIR OWN
DESIGNING IS...
Not to self-edit, which is the most difficult thing to do.
THE MOST UNUSUAL REQUEST FROM A CLIENT WAS...
Nothing strikes me as unusual.
FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A BIG LOOK ON A SMALL BUDGET
