About Architectural Design
How I See Architecture
Architecture is more than just putting up walls. For me, it’s about creating places where people truly live, work, and feel at home. I believe in liberating spaces - making the inside and outside flow together, so you get fresh air, sunlight, and a feeling that nothing is boxed in. My style isn’t about showing off with expensive stuff everywhere, but using materials smartly - where they really make a difference.
What Drives My Designs
- Authenticity: Spaces should fit the city, the street, the people. I try to keep the soul of a place while making it useful for today.
- Ambition: Yeah, I like a challenge. From iconic high-rise towers to new kinds of resorts, I push for designs that stand out.
- Attention to Detail: I’m a stickler for getting the little things right, so the whole place just works - and looks good, too.
Sustainability is non-negotiable. I design for natural light, cross-ventilation, and energy efficiency, using local materials wherever possible. That’s just common sense, yaar.
What I Create
- High-rise buildings that change the skyline
- Adaptive commercial spaces that can evolve (once turned an office into a hospital - trust me, flexibility matters)
- Luxury residential spaces with views and open decks
- Hotels and resorts mixing comfort with local flavor
Why Work With Me

My Story
Been at this for 37 years. Started ARK in '88, just wanting to make spaces that matter. Folks say I changed the skyline with high-rise residential design, but honestly, I care more about the lives inside those walls. I’m always first in, last out at the studio, walking sites, listening to stories. If you’re a client, you talk to me, not just my team. My wife Mahnaz runs interiors—she’s my rock. I love mentoring young architects, seeing how they dream up new worlds.
