“Housing or day care should be more than just a roof over somebody's head. Dismal, dreary spaces are oppressive. Light and connections with the outside make us feel better. We believe everybody deserves them. I don't think it's any more complicated than that.”
“It's a tremendous design challenge just to meet the needs of our clients and make effective use of public funds. But we still try to do something more, look for just one or two places in each project where we can make something sparkle. Sometimes it doesn't even have to cost money -- it can be more natural light or the interplay of different materials.”
