About

my story
My path towards Architecture was certainly not a straight one. Many years ago I began studying Nanotechnology Engineering, grinding over it for some years until the courage to quit emerged. It felt like taking a breath of fresh air — letting go of what was not meant for me and choosing to find my soul's expression. So, over one year later, it came to me that what I wanted since childhood was to be an architect. And so it began.

Now I am an architect dedicated to the co-creation of harmonious places, embedded in ecological principles, for people to live long and happy lives.

Which means that I design following Nature's footsteps. This, of course, requires an ongoing observation of Nature itself.Let me tell you this: to me, Architecture manifests itself in a dialogue with nature, always. So how do we dialogue with Nature? I hope we do it with respect and curiosity; I hope we do it in harmony, in beauty and within the purposefully chosen path of living a Full and Vibrant Life!

Choosing to study the Tradition of the Cathedral Builders was first presented to me while I was writing my architecture Master's Thesis on the topic of Ecological Architecture. During this academic investigation, the idea gained momentum that true ecology expressed in the built environment would inevitably be a spiritual and symbolic expression, far from green labels and narrow obsessions with carbon footprints (as important as these footprints may be). Art and spirituality, I dared say, were in fact needed for true Ecology to be expressed in our homes and cities and gardens.

So I started investigating temples and what made sacred places sacred — and the Tradition appeared as a path I could choose to take. I took the step, started studying and then I immediately found that the things my soul wished to express, belonged to its realm, to the Tradition of the Cathedral Builders from Europe, who, for centuries, had been dedicating their work to the glory of Being.
