Architecture Portfolio · 2020 — 2025

Selected works by an architect drawn to movement — curves, fluid forms, and a single statement element that gives every space its character.

Architect & Interior Designer.

— A few words

To me, architecture is more than function. It is art.

I believe every space deserves a statement — a distinctive element that captures attention, gives it character, and brings the entire design to life. My work is often inspired by movement, reflected through curves and fluid forms that create a sense of flow and dynamism. I am drawn to designing spaces that feel expressive and memorable, where a single element can elevate the experience and leave a lasting impression.

Living Veins

Langston Hughes Center · New York

Ribbon House

Savannah · Georgia

An urban analysis of Savannah's repetitive grid led to a carriage house and multi-family residence built around a folding form. The continuous ribbon generates dynamic shapes inside and out, maximizing space and expression.

Butterfly Effect

Patagonia · Argentina

A biophilic residence whose massing is shaped by the ever-changing movement of butterfly wings. Organic shells, light, and vegetation interweave into a living space that feels both harmonious and ever-evolving.

Edge Park

Amsterdam · Netherlands

Longitudinal, angular forms — drawn from the Eye Filmmuseum — blend with the terrain. Three bridges, inspired by Amsterdam's iconic structures, act as both functional pathways and sculptural elements, creating a cohesive space for gathering and exploration.
