Its so easy to forget how important living within nature is, & the effect it has on our wellbeing. As the name suggests, this house is set within a canopy of lush landscape. The idea came about when having a chat with the client who wanted to be able to practice jujitsu and yoga within his home. The solution was a lush and serene environment where he can practice and also feel more connected to nature. Canopy house features a well lit courtyard for yoga within the house & another leading to the underground games room, cinema & parking, a swimming pool that plunges out from within the building towards an outdoor yoga & jujitsu platform.

Casa dei fiori | Flower shop situated opposite the Cimitero monumentale di como. It explores the life-cycle of a flower, from when it is planted to the point when it is disposed and then the final reuse of the disposed flower as green manure for planting of new flowers. The sequence through the project has been choreographed around this premise. (at Como, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJsuwlkMDA0/?igshid=1dzxklqcpmpwo

The #addresshotel & Residences is a mixed-use development with two 77 floor twin towers that will accommodate a 182 key five-star hotel, 479 residential apartments as well as 496 serviced / branded apartments. Currently open to the public. The main design driver was to create a simple form that maximizes daylight penetration and visibility to the prime surrounding context. The end product was a distinctive, elegant and timeless building with a stark contrast to the JBR skyline. . . .

A work in progress sketch at concept design stage for a residential mixed use development...massing for 4 out of 6 towers on a cove. I find sketching to be a fast & effective way to communicate design ideas & solutions. Especially at the early stages of design, they can prove useful fin expressing & refining a design direction.

Every project has a story & design is a great tool to telling it. I am always excited about design and thrilled to take on projects that allow me to explore and design tailored products, experiences, and spaces. My methodology to designing objects/spaces/built environments involves a holistic and rigorous analysis of the client’s vision, elements of the environment/nature, the urban context, sociocultural sensitivities, with a harmonious integration of traditional & contemporary techniques.
