Designing to Contain Your Shit

It's impossible for some architects to stay away from interior design, for hopefully obvious reasons.  And why should they?  The two are complements...isn't it keen for a good racer to also be a good mechanic?

In designing interiors I'm trying to arrange, or even barely fit, my shit articulately into a space that some other fool designed poorly for the purpose.  In architecture, I'm designing a space to adequately, seamlessly, sans constraint nor exaggeration, fit my shit.

And if you think, in either case, "shit" means personal belongings, you are mistaken.
