• “If you need to save money, choose a material that you can utilize effectively and authentically, rather than adding fake dormers or purely for aesthetic purposes.”

• “Concrete blocks are commonly integrated into masonry buildings, although their usage varies between the US and other regions. Understanding their specific capabilities is crucial for creating spans, withstanding forces, and effectively enclosing spaces.”
• “Sometimes, our ideas are constrained by budget limitations or influenced by what others have already done, leading us to rely on common vendors in our area. However, it is essential to step back and consider the original purpose and usage of things when they were initially created. By grasping their roots, we can find inspiration to shape the future.”
• “Respect the uniqueness of masonry and ask each brick what it wants to become, allowing it to guide your design. Don't impose your ideas onto it; instead, comprehend its purpose and create something meaningful.”
