About Architecture & Construction
Turning Ideas into Real Spaces
I take your vision seriously. With 18 years in the field and projects that cover everything from private homes to commercial showrooms, I’ve learned that every space should reflect the people using it.
How I Work
- I start with groundwork - site surveys and soil testing set the base for everything else. Safety and stability come first.
- My design process blends logic and creativity. I use detailed 2D plans and realistic 3D models, so you can actually see where we’re headed before a single brick is laid.
- I’m hands-on during construction, checking that what’s built matches what was designed. I don’t shy away from site visits, and I’m quick to call out anything that’s off.
What I’m Good At
- Modern elevation ideas are my jam. Facades that stand out, using anything from wood cladding to concrete finishes.
- Structural frame analysis is part of my routine - the hidden stuff that keeps everything solid.
- I’m comfortable with both residential architecture solutions and commercial space planning, from luxury villas to offices and restaurants.
What to Expect
I’m honest - sometimes things take longer than planned, or a design needs a rethink. But I’m committed to getting it right, and I’ll walk with you from sketches to the final handover.
