I am an Estonian-born Australian architect, working from a fine arts background. Having grown up in a very small community, I often find my designs attempt to construct space in a way that fosters interactions between individuals. Within my work, this is often achieved by rendering the space in a functional, accessible and cohesive fashion with careful consideration of the influence and heritage of the natural environment.
