The name Glasshouse comes from a story in modern architecture. In 1940, Philip Johnson designed the Glass House as a tribute to his mentor Mies van der Rohe — who hated it. What Mies criticised is now celebrated as one of the most brilliant works in architectural history. It's a reminder I come back to with every project: don't design for approval. Design with purpose.
I built Glasshouse around one belief: your space should make your life easier, not more complicated. My clients are busy professionals who trust me to make the right decisions — on finishes, layout, and trades — so they can focus on everything else.
The detail most people miss is timing. I get involved before a wall is moved — because that's when the right decisions cost nothing and the wrong ones cost everything.
