I love the raised glass roof that connects the containers and allows lots of light in
Over the past few years, the trend of using shipping containers for housing and micro-retail spaces has popped up on my radar.  The freight containers caught my attention in San Diego when four entrepreneurial graduate students at the New School of Architecture and Design proposed using them to convert an empty lot into a park. Consequently, during my travels I have noticed more of them as temporary kiosks promoting new development in Auckland and most recently in Las Vegas with the new downtown container park.

    At an early age I set out to see the world, and while having already visited over 50 countries, I feel that my journey is just beginning. For me, travel and design go hand in hand.  Whether seeking out great shops in trendy neighborhoods or exploring the architectural environment around me, discovering design inspiration everywhere I go enriches me to transform a client’s needs and desires into ​their dream home.
