Designing spaces for human vitality
Physical environments shape collective well-being. I design restorative micro-interiors and community master plans that bridge architectural precision with public health research.








Built environments and spatial studies
A curated index of physical spaces, detailed architectural diagrams, and master planning concepts designed around human health and spatial equity.
The Healing Pavilion
Clinic Spatial Typologies
A restorative community space built with non-toxic timber and rammed earth, optimized for natural ventilation and social connection.
A comparative architectural analysis of public health clinics, mapping patient anxiety against spatial layout and daylight access.
Urban Micro-Interiors
Spatial Equity Master Plan
Refurbishing dense residential interiors with non-toxic, sustainable materials to improve indoor air quality and mental well-being.
A community-scale urban planning framework designed to increase green space access and active transit in historically underserved neighborhoods.
Physical structures are active determinants of collective well-being.
By integrating non-toxic, sustainable materials with restorative spatial flow, everyday environments become active agents of physical and social healing.
From research to physical form
Spatial Diagnosis
Material Ecology
Form & Flow
Analyzing community movement patterns and public health metrics to identify environmental stressors.
Specifying non-toxic, carbon-sequestering, and locally sourced building materials that support physical health.
Drafting precise architectural layouts that maximize natural daylight, passive ventilation, and social connection.
Let's build healthier environments.
Available for architectural commissions, spatial research collaborations, and urban planning advisory roles globally.

Why Poetry Matters to Me
Poetry has been part of my daily life for many years.
Although I grew up reading the rich tradition of Persian literature—from Ferdowsi, Nizami, Khayyam, Attar, Rumi, Shams, and Hafez to modern voices such as Forough Farrokhzad, Simin Behbahani, Ahmad Shamloo, Houshang Ebtehaj, and Fereydoon Moshiri—my love of poetry extends beyond any single language or culture. I also enjoy the works of poets such as William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Nizar Qabbani, and many others whose words continue to shape the way I see the world.
For me, poetry is not simply literature. It is a daily practice of reflection.
As someone working at the intersection of public health, business, and leadership, I spend much of my time thinking about systems, organizations, and practical solutions. Poetry reminds me that behind every decision is a human life.
It keeps my heart open.
It reminds me that compassion is not a weakness but a strength, and that meaningful progress should never come at the expense of our humanity.
