From the start, his approach reflected an uncommon seriousness toward craft and detail. He quickly distinguished himself as a designer who values structure as much as imagination. His education did not limit him; instead, it became a launchpad for experimentation. This balance between knowledge and intuition defines his early professional identity. It is within this framework that his architectural voice began to take form.
