Tony enjoys the creative process of design that permits and evokes positive emotions and reactions from the end user. An overlying principal Tony values about architecture is that, less, will always be more. However, Tony appreciates that in simplicity, comes complexity within the detailing to create such an aesthetic. In addition to this, he thoroughly enjoys the interaction and collaboration between all parties involved within the architectural process, from the varying consultants and contractors, to the client themselves.
From the Ashton Mitchell team, congratulations Tony on your appointment.
