I am an Architect focused on creating meaningful architecture. I enjoy experimenting with light and materiality in order to achieve highly impactfu spaces. Through my work, I try to balance clarity and warmth, priorit zing comfort, atmosphere, and a sense of creat vity in how spaces are perceived and used. I approach design as a process of careful refinement and improvement.

Design proposal for an apartment building that encourages interaction between ne ghbours by reintroducing the concept of communal courtyards in the form of shared terraces. The terraces are crescentshaped slabs which organ cally and subtly wrap the build ng enve ope.

The alternating crescent discs ensure that each terrace gets sunlight on either side throughout the day. Moreover, this approach al ows for users to use an open green space as an access point to their resi dences instead of a closed corridor or lobby.

The Groove is a design proposal for the rooftop foodcourt n the Mall Of Is amabad. The design emphasizes colorful and vibrant shapes throughout the space in the form of frame structures and patterns and grooves. During the day, this is achieved by making use of the natural light seeping in through the stained glass geometric windows and at night the same shapes glow with neon lights. The geometry is reflected on solid opaque surfaces in the form of grooves.
