In the past 25 years, I planned and designed a variety of projects mostly in the areas of residential, hospitality, environment, industrial, and heritage.
Since I moved out to Canada, I worked hard for some good Design-Build and Consultant companies, took some courses to match my skills with my new home.
In the framework of my previous architectural firm (www.prmn.coom) my team and I designed many exciting, good looking and thoughtful public buildings which gradually gave me opportunities to contribute in the processes of decision making and space planning of several sustainable development projects.
In all the past years, I have been proactively worked and supported the concept of the UNESCO Global Geoparks by designing several visitor centres, rural tourism facilities, and eventually established a unique e-platform to connect businesses within Geoparks.
Between 2015 and 2018 I worked as a JICA Project team member with 30 experts from wide range of disciplines which gave me a first hand overview about sustainable development.
I worked with NORR Architects on the West Memorial Building Project in Ottawa as a Designer onsite. IÂ have an application with the Canadian Architectural Board Certification as a Broad Experienced Foreign Architect.

I contributed the design of many projects with a magnificent attentions to their constructibility along with special attention to their environmental and health aspects.
Being a millwork designer at LTR Industries allowed me learn about CNC machines, custom and mass production of cabinets, shelves, castworks and closets. In framework of a supportive program for international experts I worked for 9 months at CSV Architects continued with 9 month at FOTENN both in Ottawa. I work currently with Architecture 49 on the CENTRUS mega project which is a very unique heritage rehabilitation portfolio in Canada.
I love to bring my technical knowledge and architectural sense to people’s workplace or home through my designs. It is a great way that I can contribute in the betterment of of my community and being a good role model to my children.
I worked with Maziar since the first years of his office establishment in Tehran in 2001. An non-stop experience that helped me jumping in the real architectural and engineering practice.
