About 

I am a passionate architecture designer who is interested in architectures that relate to both complex urban relationships and nature. I believe in projects that make deep connections with the site, and I also advocates for sustainability where I see it as the main project of architecture of this era. I am eager to learn different ways of inventing new materials and construction details for its revolutionary potential in transforming the contemporary architectural language. I have design experience in both residential and cultural projects. Please feel free to reach out!
