" By being very collaborative during both the design and construction phases of the project; and with an acute understanding of the very specific architectural environment in which I wanted to breathe, Charles created a functionally precise, inspiringly detailed, carefully constructed building which serves as easily as a private retreat for myself alone as it does for a number of weekend guests in a fluidly open atmosphere of a country lodge."

"Applying great respect for all the rough materials on hand and my personal wish to utilize them as much as possible throughout the house, he was inspired to express, both in texture and scale, the physical way the building was constructed, thus giving it exciting emotional content. By wrapping my social and esthetic needs in an envelope of well engineered function and safety Charles performed as a most responsible artist.”
