I am fascinated by the intersection of nature and technology. Passionate about the necessity of sustainable architecture and environmentally friendly design. Experimenting with robotics and automation for architecture.
Currently building Spain‘s first 3d-printed earthen architecture, a tiny cabin in the forests overviewing Barcelona.
In the last years, I was enjoying my time designing projects for one of the leaders in sustainable design, Ingenhoven Architects, first in Düsseldorf and the recent years in the Singapore office. Ongoing projects, I were able to contribute at the Singapore office, include the overall design of Sydney’s to be tallest residential tower at 505 George Street; Ingenhoven + Architectus are responsible for it’s iconic, environmentally, and socially sustainable future-oriented development.
I started my career with the small scale in furniture design up to the successful development of high-end hospitality projects and residential and commercial high-rise architecture. To finally find my niche in the research and development of future-proof technologies for a more conscious and sustainable living.
Experience gained on projects located in Australia, Austria, China, Germany, Singapore, Spain and the UK.
