He champions crafts in architecture, working with master artisans to combine ancient wisdom and local knowledge with cutting-edge technology. Sustainability and functionality are important, and he excels in attention to detail. Spencer designs elegant, memorable, contemporary buildings with soul.

Spencer’s art responds to his concerns about climate change and the state of the environment. He focuses on the wild – trees, mountains, water, leaves and seeds, often in abstract expressions. He paints nature with nature, mixing his own materials from clay, soil, minerals and snow, lake or river water.
