MAYA Material

I’ve worked on diverse projects, ranging from high-end residential houses for private clients to mixed-use community developments for developers. Sustainability has always been a focal point, integrating key design principles like orienting projects for passive strategies such as daylighting, wind utilization, orientation, passive cooling, and weathering. Beyond traditional considerations of material durability, cost, and aesthetics, there’s a growing movement to prioritize health for both humans and the environment. As an architect, adapting to future energy needs and regulations is crucial. This requires us to be educators, researchers, and designers, examining all scales of practice. Drawing inspiration from various industries, I’ve incorporated art to communicate spatial vision, scrutinized materials, and acquired safety qualifications. Learning from sustainable fashion, product design, and higher education has shaped my approach as a healthy materials advocate. Every project has unique goals, and as a consultant, I’m here to guide and problem-solve throughout the process. While meeting time frames and budgets is crucial, I ensure your health objectives are equally prioritized.
