With 20 years of post-qualification experience in architecture, I have held senior design roles at renowned practices such as Foster + Partners and Zaha Hadid Architects before founding Studio AVC in 2013. My career has spanned a diverse range of high-end design projects both internationally and in the UK, from private homes to larger housing developments. At Studio AVC, we specialize in creating new build homes, extensions, and internal reconfigurations, transforming spaces both inside and out. We are an award-winning studio designing and delivering architecture and interior projects across the UK. As the director of the practice, I lead with a conceptual and creative approach, ensuring that every project is innovative, functional, and uniquely tailored to our clients’ needs.

Beyond Studio AVC, I actively contribute to design conversations as a member of the Design Review Panels for Merton, Wandsworth, and Richmond Councils. I also share my expertise as an interior design tutor at South Thames College.

My approach blends a deep understanding of both architecture and interior design, emphasizing a holistic methodology that integrates creativity, functionality, and sustainability in every project.

I've used [Ayca's studio] for both architectural and design advice and found them excellent. Ayca and the team there have done a great job on my project in Wimbledon and I'd be happy recommending them.
