Founder's Journey

My development as an Architect has always been a professional experience, both in the classroom and at the office. Many of my friends and family would often come up to me and say, "...you really believe you is a business man Hey!!" Well, "...what can I say?" I guess I have carried myself in a professional manner.

Practicing Architecture has helped me understand many different types of people, design concerns, details and law of construction, business administration, contract negotiations and many organizational and documentation techniques, which have all been an asset to my real life development skills. I find that the study of Architecture and the practice of Architecture are both fundamental to becoming a complete Architect, simply because the study of architecture revolves around understanding the detailed styles of buildings and their components and the practice requires a more detailed understanding of people and the value of teamwork. Since working in the field, I have worked with co-workers from different colleges of different design principals, clients form around the world and of different cultural backgrounds and contractors and suppliers specializing in many different products and crafts, all of whom have different personalities. However their differences, as an Architect it is my job to ensure that the chemistry between this group of people on any project on any given day of the week remains respectful, honest and professional if the project is to achieve its maximum potential.

As a professional Architect I have learned that design should become like your second nature, almost automatic, this should never be a struggle but a joy. The real challenge is not our craft, instead it is using your combined knowledge of different personalities and building techniques to find ways of meeting design criteria and budget restrictions within a specified time period. Yes, our job is not just developing buildings for infrastructural development but also developing "IDEAS FOR A PEACEFUL LIVING."
