BEST MOMENTS "Studies reveal that such environments can boost occupancy rates by up to 15 percent and foster tranquil atmosphere for patients. So it creates a really meaningful aspect to interior design." "I listen to what people say because so many people don't listen." "My definition of success, one of the biggest words is happiness because if you're not happy what's the point and that's another reason why I want to continue doing this and not just go and get a job and do something because it pays the bills because I want fulfilment in life." "I've been doing this for over 30 years and I started out working in an architect's practice, worked there for 13 years and won a competition to design Audi showrooms, the car, and did that for quite a long time and took them through three corporate identity stages." "You'd walk in the door and it would just smell really awful. And just look horrible as well, really clinical, very sort of hospital like, not homely at all, not somewhere that you wanted to go into, not somewhere that as a sort of somebody in their 20s or a child would want to go into."
