I pay two full-time assistants in my studio, plus consultants who are architects, engineers, and landscape architects, as well as lighting designers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am an architect at heart. I designed every home I've ever had, plus my studio.
I paid my way through college as a carpenter and a woodworker. So I've built the house I live in and most of the furniture that's in it, and I do a lot of woodworking still.
I'm a designer, which includes interiors, architecture, fashion, furniture, and lifestyle.
I'm doing a little consulting. I'm somewhat retired, still a director of a company or two.
I have done all the work myself, not assistants. That's why I'm in a wheelchair: I've been doing it physically - it's hard labour - throughout my life.
I have a studio at home, and do 3 hours a day that way.
I don't have any assistants, I do it all myself, I don't have any secretaries.
It is no use working with other architects. What can they do? Who does what?
I have three assistants, but there isn't a head assistant. All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
Architects design houses. I live in a home.
