Guided by a clear vision of what a house should be — a place of happiness and peace, where materials, light, and structure interact harmoniously — Toby shares his unique journey: from his childhood in Germany, to his years of training in the United States, and his formative travels across Europe.
He recalls his culinary memories of France, his first steps in the profession, his passion for construction details, and his strong commitment to sustainable, responsible architecture.
