About

With extensive experience across various sectors, I am an architectural assistant dedicated to the art of sustainable and detail-oriented design. My portfolio spans from residential and commercial to institutional and public projects, each infused with a commitment to environmental responsibility and innovative aesthetics.My focus has been on conceptual and detail design, where capturing the essence and ambiance of a space is important. I believe that the character of a place is intricately linked to its details, and I strive to create an interplay of materials and design that brings each project to life. Whether it’s the subtle textures or the meticulous arrangement of elements, these details are crucial in shaping the overall experience.Having been involved in planning buildings from their earliest stages, I understand the importance of a strong foundational vision. This early-stage planning allows me to seamlessly integrate sustainable practices and thoughtful design considerations from the outset, ensuring that every project I undertake is not only functional and beautiful but also mindful of its environmental impact.My work is a testament to the harmonious balance between form, function, and sustainability, and I am continually inspired by the challenge of creating spaces that are both innovative and responsible.

Transcending space: from profane to sacred

The design envisions a pilgrimage though one point to the multi faith space through the physical act of pilgrimage creates a deliberate and intentional transition, crafted through architectural elements that guide and inspire. As visitors progress through the landscape they transcend the ordinary, to numinous when they arrive at the multi faith space. The multi-faith centre stands as the end point of this pilgrimage – a testament to the power of architecture to transcend boundaries and create a shared sanctuary for the human spirit.
