"What do I know of myself, that I can only know in this place? What does this place know of me, that I can find out if I ask this place?"

— Robert Macfarlane

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context: a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.

I care less and less about the shapes of shapes because forms change and nothing is more durable than feeling.

We create our living spaces, and then our living spaces create us. Behavior is a negotiation between us and our spaces. But the design of common living spaces, including bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, are rarely done with behavior in mind.
