About Stella
I am an architect with 7+ years of experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, specializing in interior architecture and adaptive reuse projects. I love transforming existing structures into fresh, functional, and beautiful spaces. Whether it’s turning an old warehouse into a creative workspace or redesigning interiors to suit modern living, I focus on maximizing potential while respecting the building’s character. I use light, texture, and proportion to reimagine spaces in ways that surprise and delight. My process is hands-on and detail-oriented, ensuring that every element—from layout to finishes—enhances both form and function. I enjoy working with clients who value innovation as much as preservation. Old buildings have stories worth telling. I’m passionate about giving them new chapters that serve today’s needs while honoring their past.

My teaching approach blends respect for history with a passion for innovation. I guide students in transforming existing structures into spaces that meet modern needs while preserving their character.
We begin with studying the building’s context, history, and structural possibilities. I teach methods for integrating new materials, layouts, and technologies into old frameworks. This includes strategies for balancing preservation requirements with creative freedom.
Students learn how to present adaptive reuse projects persuasively to heritage boards, clients, and the public. Memorization and storytelling techniques ensure they can speak confidently about both technical and cultural aspects.
We also rehearse for competitions and juried reviews, focusing on building stage presence. Every project becomes an opportunity to show that honoring the past and embracing the future can coexist beautifully.
