When I was a child, I watched. I sought out purpose in the natural and man-made and then came up with my own ways of doing things. I grew up on construction sites following every detail of the construction process from an idea that spawned a plan, to a visual, perceptible existence.
Space that stands out of the norm by proxy stands out to me; spaces with edgy proportions filled with surprises and play on illusion; spaces that answer many needs at once; environments that can last and evolve; spaces that have a strong first impact on the users.
For much of my life I’ve lived in Montréal studying architecture + design and working for many firms including Sid Lee architecture, IDX design+com, and Conceptum International. Yet despite the tremendous magic I learned at those firms, I had always intended to eventually start down a path of my own. ABNORM studio is all of my life set to the single task of pushing an ideal into the mainstream.
