I've got four houses in my street. I live in two, and the others are empty. I'll buy more as they come up, because I think it would be great to have the entire street.

These rooms are decorated in two days. It's all kept secret. The neighbors spend the night in each other's home. They don't see their finished room until the end of the second day. They have no say what happens in their own home.

I love the idea of the street vibe, having folks together, out in the street at midnight.

Understanding is a two-way street.

The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.

In my flat in Chicago, I've got this big room with an office in the corner and a balcony so I can watch people go by.

The design of a dress, furniture, a house, a room, a street and a city are all the same process.

When I design a building, I'm making sure you and I can get to the front door, there's enough of a threshold for entry, and that the rooms are in a logical sequence.

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.

Room service? Send up a larger room.
