TIME MACHINE
With this page, I invite you to step into my time machine to give you some insights into how I developed into the architect I am today.
I always wanted to be an architect. I used to love building things out of Lincoln Logs and Lego. I never seriously considered any other career path. I was ecstatic having been accepted to Syracuse University’s School of Architecture - perennially ranked as one of the best architecture programs in the country. In hindsight I realize that I was there during a particularly strong period of outstanding faculty. My studies literally changed the way I see the world. I will always be indebted to Professor Christopher Gray and the late Dean Werner Seligman for having a profound impact on the way I think about architecture.
I’ve always had a romantic sensibility about building and the spaces I create. I always envision what the ideal environment for the use would be. That sensibility can be seen even in these now very old school projects.

Winery
The first project is for an estate house for a fictitious winery on one of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. The winery took on the form of a small village. The estate house was envisioned as the castle sitting on the hill above the village. The castle had courtyards, towers, and crenellation- all integrated with the form of the house in an abstracted contemporary composition. Stylistic elements of this school project reappear in the Holmby project. |
