My approach to design has been shaped by three decades of diverse experiences. Working in different countries and dealing with various cultures has broadened my professional and personal horizons. It has helped me understand how every human being is extraordinary in the unique ways in which it acts, lives, uses and enjoys spaces. This is why I develop my projects by working closely with the client to achieve what is the best result for them. It takes two to create a good design. The architect and the client have to build an appropriate relationship, whereby the first understands the needs and shapes the dreams of the latter. I manage the design process from conception to completion: from the initial concept to detailed final design, protecting the original idea through the planning process, boosting creativity through constraints. My long experience in healthcare design educated my sensitivity as an architect toward disability and built environment, making the accessible design approach one of my main priorities. I firmly believe that space, light, colours and materials can affect an individual’s mood and way of living. I strive to make the design elegant and playful, inspirational and comfortable to live in. I'm focused on conceiving an architecture that aims to be timeless by challenging the ordinary, to create homes rather than houses.
