DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

I believe that good architecture should be practical, comfortable, and improve people’s daily lives. My goal is to design spaces that feel natural to use, are connected to their surroundings, and create a positive experience for the people who use them.

During my time in Poland, I was deeply inspired by the way cities are planned especially how housing, public transport, green spaces, and pedestrian routes are all connected. The use of tramlines, bicycle paths, and walkable streets made me think differently about how we design for people, not just for vehicles. Their landscape and garden design also showed me how much value green spaces can add to daily life.

Whether I am working on a high school, a hotel, or a small residential bungalow, I always try to balance beauty and function. I draw inspiration from cultural context, environmental sensitivity, and human behavior. Through every project, I aim to design spaces that are intuitive, inclusive, and enduring. From large-scale urban visions to fine-tuned product interiors, my work reflects a multidisciplinary mindset focused on practical elegance and thoughtful detail.

HIGH SCHOOL DESIGN

This project proposes the construction of a state-ofthe-art high school facility in Poznań, Poland. To meet the needs of its students, the school, which will be situated on Pleszewska Street, will provide a wide range of educational, sporting, and leisure facilities.

The project includes a large outdoor sporting field, a gymnasium, a yoga studio, and a gym for the school’s increasing population of students. Students will have access to an engaging learning environment at school that promotes social connection, physical activity, and intellectual curiosity.

Additionally, the school will house a dining area with ample seating, a fully equipped kitchen, and dedicated staff rooms for teachers and administrative personnel. More than thirty classrooms with modern technology to accommodate a range of teaching approaches will be available at the high school.

The project’s goal is to establish a lively and interactive learning atmosphere that supports learning, physical wellness, and holistic development. The main school building and the sports complex will be connected by a bridge located on the first floor.

Collaboration and teamwork are essential for many practical tasks.Therefore, workshop spaces, practical areas, multiuse spaces and group activity areas are also designed in addition to the regular classrooms.

NIGHT TRAIN DESIGN

Concept:-The objective is to generate diverse yet cohesive concepts for the interior of a designated train carriage.

Inspiration:-The arrangement of the individual couchettes is influenced by the seating arrangement found in the atrium. Envisioning these couchettes as sleep zones for passengers, the organic shape is filled with compartments for sockets, storage space for bags, laptops, and other essential items.

Single person couchette:-The concept is a carriage design where all seats are located at an angle. This nature-inspired solution made it possible to optimize the cabin space and make it comfortable for each passenger.The sleeping spaces are longer. Each seat in the railway car is a well-thought personal pod that has everything needed for a quiet journey: a place for clothes and luggage, a personal table, individual lighting, and device chargers. The concept offers a new level of comfort in economy class service.

Disabled person compartment with a toilet:-The demands of the user are taken into account when designing the space compartment for disabled people.

Material used:-The interior materials are resistant to graffiti, scratches, and abrasions.With its strong impact resistance, high temperature resistance, and superior flame-retardance, the material is safe. Additionally, the material satisfies the highest standards of safety and fire regulations in all significant markets.
