I have worked on a diverse range of projects, from small-scale residential to large-scale institutional and public government infrastructure. Reflecting on these experiences, my architectural journey is fueled by a deep curiosity about how bold and unconventional ideas still meet the practical needs of users.
I believe in the power of architecture to shape experiences and tell compelling stories, which is why storytelling is at the heart of my approach.
Currently, I am passionate about exploring tools and techniques that simplify how the architecture industry communicates design concepts. I am eager to contribute to visionary, forward-thinking projects that challenge technical constraints and push the boundaries of what architecture can achieve.

CONCEPTUAL
EXPLORATION OF DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY
The “Sulu Summit Terraces” project represents a bold experiment in architectural conceptualization and visualization, approaching a new workflow of merging traditional design method with cutting-edge AI tools - MidJourney and Playground
The exterior of this three-storey hotel with roof deck was 3D modelled and rendered, while the interior spaces were envisioned through AI-powered image generation.
Image Generation of CONCIERGE/ RECEPTION DESK
Image Generation of LOBBY
Image Generation of BAR/ DINING
Image Generation of ROOF DECK
Image Generation of BEDROOM UNIT
Image Generation of TOILET AND BATHROOM
In this project, the methodology and workflow involved generating and remixing of AI images to explore possibilities, then stepping away to sketch and refine ideas in an analog format. This dynamic interplay between digital and traditional methods yielded transformative results.
Though some argue that relying on AI dimishes the authenticity of design, this project demonstrates how AI, when used thoughtfully, can complement rather than replace human creativity.
The “Sulu Summit Terraces” showcases a forward-thinking approach, setting a precedent for how emerging technologies can enhance archiectural practices.

COASTAL COMPOUND: THE
CONGRESSMAN’S SEASIDE HAVEN
Situated on a reclaimed coastal site with view of the sea’s horizon, this residential compound reflects the refined taste and stature of one of Sulu’s prominent congressmen.
Beyond its bold architectural language, the project’s location adds another layer of allure - a contemporary compound set against the dramatic backdrop of the sea.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
The ground floor level features the main living area, kitchen and dining space. A home office and a private reception area are also located on this floor, providing dedicated spaces for work and formal gatherings without compromising privacy.
The second floor serves as the family’s exclusive sanctuary, where sleeping quarters are located.
One of the defining architectural elements of the residence is its rear facade, a stunning expanse of fullheight glass that opens up the home to uninterrupted views of the sea.
SECOND FLOOR PLAN
The spacious living area is the centerpiece of the home, featuring soaring high ceilings that amplify the sense of grandeur. The rear full-height glass creates a seamless connection between the interior spaces and the coastal environment.
Adjacent to the living area are two distinct yet interconnected dining spaces. The formal dining room exudes sophistication with luxurious finishes, making it ideal for hosting elegant gathering. Just beyond, the outdoor dining area offers a more relaxed setting. The adjacency of these spaces fosters versatility, catering to both intimate family meals and larger social events.

GREAT IMAGE : A VISION DELIVERED 03
This 60-square-meter interior fitout showcases a hands-on approach to Build Services.
Every step of the construction processfrom coordinating materials to ensuring precise execution of each installation detail, was handled with meticulous attention to quality.
Located within SM Mindpro, Zamboanga City, the Great Image Photography Studio evokes an inviting and welcoming atmosphere because of its balanced vibrancy. The floor layout makes efficient use of a narrow footprint, separating the lobby and studio area.
The design draws inspiration from the timeless appeal of the brand’s classic blackand-white photo frames, reflected in wall finishes. Complimenting this monochromatic palette, the ceiling features cheerful yellow-orange wood slats, which adds warmth to the space.
As the site architect, the meticulous supervision of the construction ensured precise execution of the design vision. The successful turnover of this project secured a future contract for another branch in the City.
