Giving an old stone house a new life has always been my favourite challenge, and in the abandoned village of Gornja Lastva, Montenegro, it arrived in the shape of four surviving outer walls, a ruined forge and a roofless shell, all of them waiting, it seemed, for me to turn up. I kept the outside exactly as it once was, down to the wooden windows and shutters, and asked the inside to speak a different language: Scandinavian minimalism with a rural touch.

More...Sometimes ingenuity lies in choosing the obvious and turning it on its head, while still executing it perfectly.
More...The sleek metallic skyline of Canary Wharf in London, a geometrically perfect canal cut by a steel dagger of a bridge, and a small red brick home across it. Never before had a challenge of mine involved such contrasting elements.
More...I wanted nature and its elements to run through this contemporary city penthouse as a dreamlike, mystical reflection.
