I do not build
objects.

Architecture is a process of subtraction. I remove the noise to reveal the silence.

In a world obsessed with addition, I advocate for absence. My work defines itself not by what is present, but by the quality of the void that remains. I create spaces that do not demand attention, but rather allow for attention to be paid — to light, to shadow, to time itself.

This is not minimalism as a style, but as an ethic. A rejection of the decorative in favor of the essential. Every wall, every opening, every surface exists only because it must.

The weight of silence.

I believe in materials that age, that bear witness to the passage of seasons. Concrete, stone, raw timber — elements that possess gravity and permanence in a transient digital age.

Interior Void
The Architecture of Pause

I do not provide a service. I propose a way of being.

I operate outside the commercial rhythm. I take on few projects, dedicating myself fully to the rigorous pursuit of a single idea: that space shapes thought.
