Hi, I'm Yash
Everything around us, our coffee mugs, our tables, computers, this screen, the building where you work, the city we live in is designed. We live in a designed world, it is hence a great responsibility as designers to do it right, especially with the construction industry being a major contributor to climate change.
A desire to learn and a curious nature about how things work have kept my journey in architecture has been
fascinating. From an intern to a team leader, working on projects with a variety of magnitude from a
200 square feet apartment to 20 square miles city design with different typologies-residential,
commercial, civic, and public buildings and collaborating with clients, engineers, and contractors have
allowed me to develop an understanding of the processes and challenges to work together as a team to bring the dreams to come true
We all have but one home, our planet which we share, hence sustainability is paramount. Using Technology to create spaces that not only are in harmony with nature but also elevates the experience and mental health of humans to remind us that we too are a part of nature and not separate.
“Designing is a way of living, if done right, it is sustainable, efficient and pushes Humanity in the right direction”
