ABOUT ME
niki kefala
Enthusiastic Part 1 Architectural Assistant eager to broaden my understanding and knowledge in the profession, while contributing to team success through hard work, meticulous attention to detail, and good organisational abilities. Motivated to learn, grow, and succeed in the field of architecture while keeping a complete awareness of project variables such as critical design decisions, sustainability, and technical designs.
I was always eager to study and explore various creative areas due to my self-motivated nature. Been a person who was passionate about all sorts of art, I successfully completed 5 years of Art & Design at school, which solidified my desire to create any form of art, especially architecture. My interest in architecture was clear from the beginning, as evidenced by the manner I approached design challenges. I was always creating the most detailed and accurate design, whether it was a painting or a fashion statement piece, with a scale ruler in hand.
My enthusiasm for architecture has only gotten greater after those five years of hard work to improve my skills and understanding of the industry in order to pursue it further. From my first three years of architecture school, I was further inspired and mentored, and after completing Part 1, I now have a more systematic approach to how I address a project and important design moves that I always incorporate into my designs. My primary objectives are to propose a flexible structure that is easily adaptable to changing site needs, is sustainable and long-lasting, emphasises the need of accessibility for all, and creates visitor-friendly paths and spaces, all while attempting to resolve any challenges detected in the region.
In addition, if an existing structure is already on the site, my main goal is to try to conserve any structural form in a respectful manner while suggesting a new modern addition that will only improve the relationship between old and new, without detracting from the area’s history and character.
While I continue on my own path of self-exploration and education in more upcoming, recent, and historic subjects in the field of architecture, I am eager to collaborate with exceptional architects who will assist me in furthering my journey, while I also contribute my creative aspects and knowledge in recent projects.
