– What does your home mean to you?
It is an essential part of the my life, the most important place for me.
– Your favourite architect or interior designer?
I very much admire the work of Le Corbusier. Thinking of a more modern architect I would say Zaha Hadid whose legacy is impressive. Otherwise I have a great interest in Max Lamb’s approach to interior design. He is very contemporary in his method and choice of materials.
