Read the caseEleven apartments on the quay, in the brick the docks are built of. Photographed across a week for the studio's monograph.
Read the caseA glass room added to the back of a postwar house in Zwijndrecht. The only job I have shot entirely before nine in the morning.
Read the caseThe new city library in Turnhout, photographed on a closed Monday and again on an open Saturday, because a public building is two buildings.
Read the caseA chapel of one material, where the whole design is what the sun does to it between seven and nine. I went back four times to get the eighth frame.
Read the caseA prewar swimming hall brought back into use. Shot in the hour between the last lane swimmer and the cleaners, with the water still moving.
Read the caseThe architects who hire me, photographed at their own desks. Half a day, no tidying allowed beyond what they would do for a client.
Read the caseA dock warehouse turned into offices, with the structure left exactly where it was. The frames that sold it were the ones taken before the desks came.
Read the caseAn apartment above a dealer's shop, finished in three greys and one oak. Eleven frames, one afternoon, nothing moved except a chair.
Read the caseOne room for a woman who cooks for a living, shot for the joiner and the architect at once. The detail frames are the ones both of them use.
