I graduated recently and live in Berlin for about 5 years now. During my studies, I focused on architectural and urban design and completed many projects, workshops, summer schools and competitions in many international locations like Beirut, Libannon (redeveloping a central city district), New York in cooperation with NYIT (finding a solution in the city for water flooding due to the natural disasters and social housing), Moscow (building up existing residential districts in the city with utopian housing proposals), Sao Paulo (a concept for public spaces and occupied building concepts in Brazil), Portugal (a project of a cultural center in a historic city context of Lisbon) and many interesting locations in Berlin. I also completed an exchange semester in Melbourne, Australia, where i focused on construction management and digitalisation methodology in the architecture field in general. At the moment I work for a real estate company in a Product Strategy team and we try to find a potential within many central city areas to densify them and build new housing (because of housing shortage) We focus mainly on developing interesting housing and co-working concepts. Especially in the times of digitalisation and rapid urbanisation, I really enjoy discussing about architecture and new ideas / new concepts for the future. Therefore I would be glad to be a part of a jury team.

Originally I chose it because it's a very creative profession, plus the fact that you could have something that you've designed realised in real life. As time progressed, I began to be intrigued by how buildings could affect the way we live, our mood and behaviour.Structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized. ... Abstract structures include data structures in computer science and musical form.

Real Estate Development, Landscape Architecture, Urban Development.

Architect and interior designer based on the psychology of the environment.

My focus is mainly on affordable educational buildings within a specific context.

I worked 10 years in the Seychelles post university graduation on a variety of project sectors. I then moved to the UK for 12 years, where my main focus was in the residential and industrial sectors.

I then returned to the Seychelles 7 years ago, where my focus expanded from residential and industrial to include tourism  office buildings, banks and edcuation sectors. However, the mainstay of the Practice remains in Tourism and residential sectors.
