This is a small multiple use foot stool. It sort of grew out of the work on the iceberg sofa which being low to the ground had you crying out for something to put your feet up on. As it evolved, it grew this extra little rounded surface. This turned out to be an excellent handle and also with the stool positioned in the correct orientation, an excellent support for under the knee. The rails on the sides also offer a place for the foot to press. I turned the wood from elm, the tubular steel was brazed and then I carried it to a metal plating company to have it coated with nickel.

G. H. Residence was conceived less as a house, but more as an extension and outgrowth of the limestone and aquifers of the Central Texas geography. The roof structure is configured so as to create a natural basin for the collection of rainwater, not unlike the vernal pools found in the outcroppings of Enchanted Rock. These basins harness additional natural flows through the use of photovoltaic and solar hot-water panels. The water, electricity and heat which are harvested on the roof tie into an extensive climate conditioning system which utilizes water source heat pumps and radiant loops to supply both the heating and cooling for the residence. The climate system is connected to geothermal ground loops as well as pools and water features thereby establishing a system of heat exchange which minimizes reliance on electricity or gas.
The primary formal gesture of the project inserts two long native limestone walls into the site. The walls serve as the boundary demarking domesticated space with the vegetation outbound of these walls being native while the interior spaces are more lush and tropical. The program of the residence is configured along the stone walls each of which serves as the spine for the public and private wings, respectively. The offset between the main wings establish an exterior courtyard which will serve as an extended living space for much of the year. The siting of the boundary walls and building elements was informed by the presence and preservation of three mature native oaks. The house enjoys close proximity to both Emma Long Metro Park and
West Bull Creek Preserve.

The idea behind this sofa was that it attempted to address the problem that a person sitting in the middle of a three seater sofa has: namely that they don't have an arm rest like the outer two people do. This is the reason for the abrupt kink in the back rest. As it turned out it also meant that it sort of split the sofa into a one seater and a two seater. The idea behind the colour scheme was an iceberg floating on the sea. I chose a fabric for the back rest that had little markings of crushed ice on it. Interestingly, one day when it was on display in an exhibition a lady came past and exclaimed that she had designed the fabric and that it as indeed called crushed ice! I did pretty much everything on this myself from bending and welding the steel tube inside to fitting the webbing and the multiple layers of sponge, foam and neoprene inside. I also turned the five legs. A professional upholsterer did the sewing given the really difficult task of pulling the fabric tight on the backrest. It was on show at the Wilson and Gough gallery in London and Harvey Nichols in Chelsea and Blueprint magazine
