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
When you choose me, you get me. I’m hands-on from day one, not just another name on a blueprint. If you want a space that feels real and right, I’m all in.

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.
