A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi there!
My name is Katia and I am an Archineer. What is an Archineer? It’s a person trained or experienced in both architecture and engineering whose interest is seeking balance between manmade and natural environments.Professionally
I am a Western Australian registered Architect with 20 years’ experience specialising in residential developments and passive solar design. I have cultivated a knowledge in sustainable urban design and hydro-ecological environmental engineering which I combine with architecture and built environment at a variety of scales.
Personally
I am passionate about simple solutions to seemingly difficult problems. I like to make knowledge accessible and practical. I believe in personal empowerment through unbiased, concise, quality education.
