I have a seriously serious fascination with old and historical buildings. There is so much to love about them – they are layered with character and stories from the past, and at the same time they present us with so many opportunities for the future. I often wonder why the building and architecture industry {and developers in particular} focuses on creating new buildings when there are so many old ones we could be refurbishing and adapting for the modern era.

Personally, I can’t imagine anything more special then being inside a beautiful old building which has been given a new lease on life having been carefully restored in a way which brings in modern conveniences we can’t seem to live without. This is one of my personal interests and my greatest dream – getting my hands on derelict and abandoned buildings, fusing them with thoughtful contemporary design and making them relevant today. And in the process creating coveted buildings and interiors for the future…
