A Malaysian interior architect based in Sandefjord / Oslo. She holds an MA Design from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Norway. Building on her BA architecture background, she developed a passion for interior, furniture and objects.
To me architecture is like a puzzle waiting to be solved. It provides a complex way of solving issues that are presented and involves many aspects to be reconsidered first before applying the most appealing strategies. The challenge is finding a way to fit these pieces into a complete puzzle that should merge harmoniously with nature and the site, and more importantly to provide the best of experiences for the users.
Architecture is a study to create a user and environment responsive answer.
Approaching this industry and profession with an architecture background helps me to understand the foundation of each project from the architect’s point of view but using designerly skill of an interior architect.
