ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN


With22 years of experience in architectural design, I have worked across a broad spectrum, from urban-scale master planning to intricate interior design solutions. My portfolio encompasses diverse typologies, including hospitals, schools, metro stations, high-rise residential complexes, private residences, mixed-use developments, shopping malls, hotels, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.

Having lived and worked in three different countries, I have contributed to projects across a wide geographical range, from Vietnam to the United Kingdom, navigating distinct cultural, regulatory, and environmental contexts. In Turkey, I have been actively involved in municipal approval processes, delivering projects for metropolitan municipalities and ministries, and participating in international government tenders.

At the urban scale, I have designed projects covering 1.5 million square kilometers, addressing complex planning challenges and large-scale residential developments. At the building scale, my expertise extends to specialized hospital facilities, commercial hubs, transportation infrastructure, and educational institutions with unique spatial requirements. These large-scale and multidisciplinary projects have required the seamless integration of advanced mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems. My experience includes critical aspects such as medical gas and vacuum systems in hospitals, sterile environment design, and high-level fire safety and evacuation calculations in metro projects.

My deep knowledge of computational design and BIM-based workflows has enabled me to develop parametric and data-driven solutions, optimizing efficiency and accuracy in complex architectural and engineering challenges. Additionally, my experience in archaeology and architectural history has refined my sensitivity to historical contexts, adaptive reuse, and restoration projects, ensuring a balance between contemporary design needs and heritage preservation.

With a Master's degree in Architecture focused on flexibility and adaptability in multi-story steel residential buildings, I have a strong foundation in designing spaces that can evolve with changing user needs. This expertise extends to adaptive reuse projects, where I apply flexible design principles to optimize functionality and longevity. Furthermore, my academic background in structural construction design and coursework in building technologies have strengthened my engineering and structural design knowledge, allowing me to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams on technically demanding projects.

Beyond large-scale architectural design, I have expertise in interior design, landscape applications, renovation projects, and adaptive reuse strategies. I have also expanded my knowledge through specialized training in LEED certification processes, fire safety engineering, and MasterCode Unicode standards, which enhance my ability to tackle multidisciplinary coordination challenges. My approach ensures that spaces not only fulfill their initial purpose but also evolve to accommodate future needs, balancing functionality, sustainability, and aesthetic integrity.
