Arch Group

Architecture for the High-Tech Future

Overview

Arch Group is an award-winning architecture and interior design studio I co-founded in 2007. Our work was driven by a vision of the future — designing intelligent, tech-enabled environments for transit, commerce, and culture. We specialized in high-impact commercial real estate: airports, transport hubs, control centers, and next-generation workplaces. I’ve led the design and implementation of over 1MM sq. ft (100,000 sq.m) of projects over the course of 8 years.

As both lead architect and editor-in-chief of 100% Office, a glossy magazine dedicated to commercial design, I brought a curatorial lens to our work — shaping each project as both a spatial solution and a cultural statement.
