About

I design from the inside out. I start with how someone arrives, where they pause and what they can see from there, then let the structure, the section and the facade grow from that.

I am a fourth-year architecture student working in hand sketches, physical models and parametric scripts. I like projects where climate, materials and public life have to be solved together.

Ideas unrolled / 00—06

Concept studies that unfold as you move through them. Each drawing is clipped into a frame from every side and opens outward while it travels across the view — scroll down to pull, scroll up to push it back.

Concept 01Facade / 2026

Brise-Soleil Grid

A cast-concrete screen that reads the sun path and thins out exactly over the desks where light is needed.

Shading screen study
Concept 02Verticality / 2026

Suspended Garden

Living terraces hung on a single concrete core, lowering a park through the full height of the building.

Vertical greenery study
Concept 03Section / 2025

Stepped Section

A hillside read as a staircase of gardens, where every roof is the room above it and east light follows the slope.

Terraced housing section
Concept 04Landscape / 2025

River Terrace

A public terrace that steps down to the water and treats the flood margin as folding, habitable levels.

Riverine edge study
Concept 05Structure / 2026

Thin Shell Vault

A one-brick shell that stays up by curvature alone, drawn as a family of tightening arcs from support to keystone.

Structural shell study
Concept 06Climate / 2025

Wind Courtyard

A courtyard shaped like a venturi funnel, catching the evening breeze and pulling it through every shaded room.

Notes and ideas

Shade before glassMarch 2026+

In hot climates the first design move should be a roof, not a window. I sketch the shadow a building casts at 3 pm before I draw a single wall.

Drawing by hand in the age of rendersJanuary 2026+

A render shows a decision that has already been made. A hand sketch is where the decision happens.

Thresholds are roomsNovember 2025+

The step between street and door is usually treated as leftover space. In three projects it became the most used room.
