Started my career as an architect and have grown in the interior architecture and design field. I enjoy developing spaces that simply feel good, with a strong focus on functional and user-centred layouts while being attentive to concept implementation and detail. Efficiency and methodical systems inspire me through the various phases of creation and project development. Working independently or in teams, exploring new tools and forever learning news ways of architecture keeps me engaged in this all-round stimulating field :)

Starting from three structural modules - (MB) base module, (ME) extension module and (ML) connection module - the intention was to enable the most various forms of association with them and producing typologies that meet the ‘creation of flats’ brief while allowing future flexibility of living spaces.

This project is an example of confrontation with the existing and the introduction of a new program, that lead into understanding the existing qualities >< future needs and carry out a transformation from within.
