My dad is a builder, and my mum's a nurse. They're just very normal people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family.
My parents are both English. My dad is a plastic surgeon - his name's Norman Waterhouse, but we call him Normy. And my mom's a nurse, which is how they met - in a hospital, over decaying bone.
My mother was a housewife. My father was a garment worker.
I was built up from my dad more than anyone else.
My dad is the first to say that Mum deals with the mortgage payments, the bills, the rota, things like that, while my dad is the emotional one who keeps the home together. He's the nurturer, but together, they work perfectly.
Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.
I'm a trained architect. Both my parents were architects.
My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.
My father was a construction engineer, and my mother was a production engineer.
My dad was a surgeon, my mom a nurse, and they were always out working. I had five sisters and a brother. They didn't care what I got up to.
