Plastic has a place and it's really a cool thing. But it's two or three steps removed from something that's organic. So, wood talks to you and you can relate to it. It's such a pleasant material and so user-friendly, really. There're so many different types of wood - quite amazing.
Wood is more than just a material.
Architecture or space is all around us. But capturing space in a really pleasing way is an art form in its own right. Most houses, generally speaking, and especially the modern US approach, more or less destroy something inside. They're devoid of design. I think they suck happiness away from people, and it's really hard to live in those kind of places.
