Mohammad's approach aligns with our commitment to creating responsive architecture that balances aesthetic appeal with practical functionality and sustainable principles.

What does ultrapractical mean to you? It means designing with both eyes open: one on the bold idea, the other on the reality of construction. My work on 7 Soho Square taught me how to weave these threads together, developing designs that honoured the neighbourhood’s character while meeting technical standards. There, I learned that the most compelling architecture emerges when creative vision and buildability informing each other, not compete. Drawing on strong design skills and a commitment to sustainability, I translate these possibilities into tangible form. Because ultrapractical architecture isn’t about limiting imagination—it’s about making ideas real, and making them work. The role of an architect is to shape the realm we reside in.
