I HAVE A DEEP PASSION FOR DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION, AND I’M EXCITED TO SHARE MY WORKS AND OFFERINGS WITH YOU.

I specialize in transforming architectural concepts into compelling visuals through design, still images, animations, virtual tours, and technical drawings. My work helps clients present designs to investors and market properties by showcasing a project’s scope, texture, and spatial dynamics. Additionally, I have experience working as a designer on diverse projects across different countries.

3D ANIMATION

I use real-time rendering to create high-quality 3D animations and virtual tours, reducing production time and allowing for flexible revisions to match your vision. With the help of my team, I offer customized solutions, from cinematic presentations to interactive tours and VR experiences.

INTERIOR

& EXTERIOR VISUALIZATION

Still images have always been a fundamental aspect of architectural representation. I strive to deliver high-quality images that do more than showcase the relationship between materials and design. It focus on crafting visuals that tell a compelling story about the space, capturing its essence and conveying its unique narrative. I believe that a well-rendered image can breathe life into a design, providing insights and emotions beyond a structure's physical attributes.

Visualization Work for Module Housing

Visualization Work for MMA Architecture

My deep understanding of architectural design and construction allows me to visualize and refine details that enhance projects. In this SCI-Arc case study, 3D visualization played a crucial role in streamlining design, saving time, and reducing costs—an approach you may want to consider for your own projects.

Inspired by plastic surgery and MRI techniques, we applied slicing, peeling, and cutting methods to create dynamic, multidimensional representations of the courthouse's structure, materials, and energy systems. The Main Cutaway Drawing showcased intricate details influenced by aerospace precision and covered aspects from cost analysis to AIA requirements.

TECHNICAL DESIGN &

VISUALIZATION

The truss system will be constructed with lightweight steel framing for a long-span superstructure. The core above consists of a lightweight steel braced frame to reduce the load on the truss below, allowing for a column-free floor plan that suits the courtroom program.

All other cores are made of concrete shear walls for vertical load-bearing and lateral stability. A concrete flat-plate system is used to lower the floor-to-floor height by reducing the thickness of the floor plates, enabling connection to the adjacent load-bearing exterior concrete wall.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

I have years of experience in architectural design across various projects of different scales, in different countries, and at different companies. My experience in media and design has given me a unique perspective that I believe elevates my work as a designer and 3D artist. Here are a few of the projects that I have worked on over the last few years.

2010 - 2024

Tehran Commercial Complex

KRDS Studio

At KRDS, we designed a commercial complex on one of Tehran's major streets, with a focus on seamlessly integrating the facade into the roof, creating a distinctive and innovative design.

Responsibilities:

Participated in all aspects of design and development.

Team:
Kourosh Rafiey, Mohammad Solei, Saeid Iranpour

Residential to Institutional Conversion

While at KRDS Studio, we transformed a residential building into an institutional space. The design, inspired by the secure nature of a bank, envisioned the structure as a wrapped box with metal ribbons, symbolizing a netted texture that unifies the chaotic urban fabric. The façade features a modern interpretation of the traditional Iranian "Karbandi" structure, with interweaving lines rotated horizontally to emphasize the horizon, balancing representation and abstraction.

development.

Kazakhstan Memorial Pantheon

Inspired by Kazakhstan's diverse landscapes, the Memorial Pantheon is designed to blend seamlessly with the environment. The site features a central hill that symbolizes the natural terrain, with the Pantheon extending towards the Kabanbai Batyr Memorial, positioned as a focal point on the north side. The design is inspired by the Issyk Kurgan burial mounds, with flowing lines and a hill-shaped roof that symbolize both the world and those buried within.

The structure is divided into two sections: one under a large concrete roof supported by 20 symbolic columns, representing the connection between the burials below and the trees above. A central dome allows light to beam into the Pantheon's heart, creating a mysterious, symbolic atmosphere. The crypt features 42 burials with an underground connection to the Garden Crypt.

Responsibilities:

Participated in all aspects of design and development.

Shopping Center Development

MMA Architecture

While collaborating at MMA Architecture, we worked on the concept for developing a shopping center in a Los Angeles neighborhood. My responsibility was to produce all the drawings required for city approval. I also participated in material selection, added design details, and created final visualizations to showcase the project's potential.

Responsibilities:

Developed detailed drawings for city approval.

Assisted with material selection and design detailing.

Created final project visualizations to highlight its potential.

Courtyard Revitalization

MMA Architecture

At MMA Architecture, we were tasked with revitalizing an old courtyard and introducing a new restaurant to attract more foot traffic. I worked on designing key elements and the final look to showcase the potential of the space, providing a proof of concept aimed at drawing more visitors to the area.

Responsibilities:

Participated in design development and visualization of the project’s potential.

Multi-Tenant Complex

MMA Architecture

At MMA Architecture, I participated in the design of a multi-tenant complex in a Los Angeles neighborhood. My primary responsibility was creating all the necessary drawings for city approval, ensuring the project complied with local regulations.

Responsibilities:

Produced detailed drawings for city approval.

Assisted in the overall design process for the multi-tenant complex.

Frayed & Refined

Thesis Project, 2018 (SCI-Arc)

Frayed & Refined is an architectural extension concept for the Louvre Museum and Tuileries Garden. This project explores the defamiliarization of recognizable structures by extending the Louvre's wings with primitive forms, which are then distorted through techniques such as squeezing, tearing, and wrinkling. These alterations blur the monumentality of the Louvre, creating a painterly effect that introduces a new sense of coherency to the architecture.The project critiques traditional notions of nature within architecture, challenging the historical ideal by reinterpreting structure and form.

Radical Interiority in Architecture

Studio Project, Master's Degree (SCI-Arc)

This project explores 'hollow monoliths,' crafting an immersive architectural environment through voids, liners, habitable poche, nested objects, and ground extrusions to evoke hollowness. Inverting traditional architectural priorities, the design emphasizes interior complexity, offering a fresh take on architecture.

Proposal for Los Angeles Courthouse:

We reimagined the courthouse as a flexible space, moving away from its rigid form. The design manipulates scale and uses glass with varying transparency to create a dialogue between the interior and the city. A floating container interacts with the ground, challenging gravity and scale. Inside, clear circulation loops connect courtrooms to towers via bridges, transforming the courthouse into a nested world within the urban landscape.

Responsibilities:

Participated in all aspects of the project, including design, development, and presentation.
