PARAVAN TEKKEH (2025)
PARAVAN TEKKEH combines fragments of daily objects embodying religious iconography. Depictions from Shia Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Catholicism and the Greek Orthodox Church interlock, blurring borders and differences between them into a surrealist landscape.
PARAVAN TEKKEH divides a space to a front and a back, while leaving the two connected.
PARAVAN TEKKEH is constructed in three laquered plywood panels, each connected through three hinges.

The office transformation in Zurich, Wiedikon is a spatial and material transformation in an existing office and commercial building from the 1960s. The project recognizes the elongated connecting corridor as the main spine of the 450m2 area and emphasizes its importance as a connective and reflective space of osmosis.
The trompe l'oeil ceiling along with the smoked oak floor allow for calmness and a sustainably harmonious yet unique atmosphere. The entrance space is opened up, allowing natural light to enter and exposing the reinforced concrete structure with the free standing column carrying the reflective ceiling. The project takes reference to the building’s original design period while translating it into a contemporary architectural language.
