I practice design–build with architectural discipline, remaining engaged from early decisions into construction — when questions of siting, structure, systems, and budget still shape outcomes, and when those decisions are tested by weather and use. This approach favors clarity and continuity. The goal is simple: buildings that last.

Background
I began in industrial design, studying how materials meet, how parts fit, and how people live with the objects around them. A minor in furniture making grounded that education in craft and hands-on execution.
I moved from furniture design into high-end residential interiors in Manhattan, designing and building complex spaces where coordination and precision were essential. Over time, the scale expanded — from shaping elements within buildings to helping shape the buildings themselves, working closely with architects, engineers, trades, and clients.
That progression culminated in the construction of a 15,000-square-foot private residence in Tribeca.
The scale increased. The craft remained.
After years of building at the highest budgets, I built my own home — maintaining the same discipline within a builder’s budget. Living inside those decisions sharpened my understanding of what lasts and what doesn’t.
Later, I built a second small home designed for frequent occupancy, testing durability, clarity for unfamiliar users, and comfort across expectations.
The homes I build today draw from both — lived experience and what time has taught me.

How I Think About Sites
Much of my work begins with existing conditions — sites already altered or left in ambiguous states. I’m drawn to places with history rather than untouched land.
Working within an already changed footprint allows new buildings to exist with less disruption and greater respect for what came before.
I’d rather make a place whole again than start from scratch.
The projects shown here vary in scale and context. What connects them is not style, but accumulated judgment — tested over time and carried forward into each new building.
