My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.

Before you begin designing or buying anything, you need to get real and ask yourself: What do you really want to use this room for? What do you want to do in this room but can't now?

My room was a real way of expressing myself. It was like a little nest that I could settle into.

I'd always want to decorate my bedroom. I needed visuals and to be stimulated by things. I'm still like that. It's the way I see the world.

I am an architect at heart. I designed every home I've ever had, plus my studio.

I don't really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there.

I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.

I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated.

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
