Portfolio of WorkÂ
I’ve worked on diverse projects, ranging from high-end residential houses for private clients to mixed-use community developments for developers. Â
Beyond traditional considerations of material durability, cost, and aesthetics, there’s a growing movement to prioritize health for both humans and the environment.Â
Every project has unique goals, and as a consultant, I’m here to guide and problem-solve throughout the process.
