fishbowl in the heart of the city. In addition, due to its westfacing
orientation he was concerned about the heat load the sun light was
going to produce, particularly in summer.

It stresses the responsibility of architects to understand the
installer’s job and ensure an installation doesn’t
look like an electronics showroom. Rael Martell reports.

holiday house, either, but he likes to entertain. "We like people
