DESIGN STRATEGY
At the forefront of smbw’s design prowess, Spencer emerges as a guiding light in the realm of concept creation. With a commanding and revered perspective, he infuses concept design with a resonant voice, nurturing the growth of ideas within the team and influencing the dynamics of human interaction within architectural spaces.
Spencer views architecture as a visual testament to human advancement, masterfully weaving connections between tradition and innovation. His profound grasp of real estate's role as a cornerstone of a client's enterprise is seamlessly translated into design, introducing an elevated layer of value to projects, regardless of their scale.
What drives him?
Spencer is fueled by watching an idea develop through teamwork and exploration. He believes inspiration comes from different sources for each project and that creative ideas require stimulation both inside and outside the industry. He strives to create a space where others can generate ideas and helps them flourish.
"When all you do is think about architecture inside the bubble of architecture, your ideas become stale. At this stage in my career, I am focused on mentoring, supporting, and ensuring that the next generation of leaders has room to bring forward their own strengths. Architecture moves forward when we do.”
