I only ever worked on interiors, and an interior is an interior. I don't know what they did about exteriors.
You cannot paint the exterior of your house. You have to take the paint chip down to show the paint-chip Nazis.
I want a big house with a moat and dragons and a fort to keep people out.
I think, aesthetically, car design is so interesting - the dashboards, the steering wheels, and the beauty of the mechanics. I don't know how any of it works, I don't want to know, but it's inspirational.
Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.
What the people are within, the buildings express without.
I'm less interested in the inside of whatever it is I own than on the outside of what it sits on.
I think architects design outside in. Or they design basically outside. They don't get in the building anymore.
The exterior cannot do without the interior since it is from this, as from life, that it derives much of its inspiration and character.
In addition to the wishes of the client, the position, orientation, and size of the plot also play an important role in determining the final plan of the house. The 'where' and 'how' of the exterior then follows naturally from all of that.
I've been accused of being a shell designer - you start with a machine and enclose it. But in many cases, the shell is essential. A locomotive without a shell would be nonfunctional.
We try to write things that work on a variety of levels at the same time: A sleek exterior with a turbulent lyric.
Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen?
We have an opportunity with the Model S to refine the design language, the surfacing, and all aspects of functionality.
When you build a house, you have to start from the floor. You have to start from the bottom, the defence, and then you fix the attack.
I have always been very intrigued by the outside of buildings. I can just walk down the street and be content with watching facades. I don't have to go inside.
A statue in a garden is to be considered as one part of a scene or landscape.
