This portfolio represents my journey through architecture, illustrating a commitment to crafting spaces that resonate with purpose and beauty. Each project within these pages reflects my passion for blending creativity with functionality, aiming to create environments that inspire and elevate the human experience. Through careful consideration of form, material and context, I strive to design spaces that tell a story and connect with their inhabitants on a profound level.
THE HAVEN
The need for housing has always been a significant concern for individuals and those responsible for providing or designing homes Shelter is a fundamental requirement, second only to food, in the hierarchy of human needs. Traditionally, communities addressed housing needs within their own localities, reflecting their socio-cultural characteristics through their own construction efforts. In today's context, architects must consider the socio-cultural factors that influence people's lifestyles and housing preferences. By understanding these factors, architects can create housing designs that incorporate and build upon the social and cultural aspects, resulting in a well-designed home that reflects the needs and values of the residents.

EXTERIOR VIEW OF THE RESIDENCE
One of the features of modern design is the inclusion of large, unadorned windows. They allow in a plenty of natural light and gives good view of the outside world
The design emphasizes clean lines and geometric shapes. No more are features such as arches, ornate columns, window shutters, or any outlandish ornamentation. In place of these features that at one point spoke of luxury and wealth are simple shapes and intentio- nal asymmetry. The opulence of the past is no more.
Ultimately, the aim of modern design is to simplify the home, emphasize function, and remove any unnecessary frills. With the cons- tant distraction and bombardment of technology and stress in our modern lives, simplicity is a calming and welcoming moment in our homes.

Grand Parents Bedroom
“Floor space is precious in a kids room, it’s the building zone for lego, trains, fairy kingdoms and hours of fun”
Decorating small kids' bedrooms can be challenging due to limited space. The focus should be on essentials like beds and storage. A loft design can separate the work and play area from the sleeping space, providing ample room for activities and allowing for privacy and coziness.

Large windows of various sizes and shapes removes the spotlight from artwork or busy wallpaper and sets the focus of a room on the natural surroundings of the home. The blend of modern lines and shapes with materials like wood, stone, or exposed concrete makes a bold statement, keeping the home rooted to the past, but clearly bounding towards the future.
Avariety of materials blended together for a completely unique, but unified aesthetic.

The color theme for the living room is pastel purple. It is said that these tones generate calmness, stillness, and serenity because pastel colors are less saturated than primary colors they’re less intimidating and aggressive. Pastels “feel” light, soft and peaceful.
