One person, on purpose
I think a building is a long series of decisions, and most of them are invisible by the time you move in. Where the light lands at breakfast. How thick a wall feels when you lean on it. Which three materials do the work of ten. I make those decisions slowly, in drawings, before they get expensive on site.
Working with me means there is no account manager and no junior doing the real work. You talk to the person who draws your building, and the person who drew it stands next to the contractor when it is built. That is slower than a big office in some ways, and much faster in the ones that matter.
Selected work
The drawing set
servicesEvery project is a set of drawings. These are the sheets I can produce for you, together or separately if you only need one.
Consultation
A working session before you commit to anything: your plot, your budget, what is realistic.
Architectural design
Concept to permission: the shape of the building, argued and drawn.
Interior design
The inside, treated with the same seriousness as the structure.
3D visualization
The building before it exists, accurately. Not a mood image.
Technical documentation
The drawings a contractor prices and builds from, with nothing left to interpretation.
Site supervision
I stay until handover, checking the built work against the drawings.

week zeroWe talk for an hour, no fee. You tell me about the plot or the space; I tell you honestly whether I am the right architect for it, and what it will roughly take.

Have a plot, a flat,
or an idea worth building?
Send a short brief. Amir reads every one himself and replies within two working days.
Send a project briefArticles from the practice
articlesThings I keep explaining across the table, written down once: plots, budgets and how buildings actually get made.
Why I still draw the first plan by hand
The computer makes everything look finished too early. A pencil line stays negotiable.
What a budget frame actually is
Not a promise, not a guess. A set of decisions ranked by what they cost to change later.
Three questions to ask before buying a plot
Most expensive problems are bought with the land, not built on it.
