Arshia is driven by a deep curiosity for place, culture, and community, shaped by formative road trips across Iran that revealed the richness of built and natural environments. His academic work explores how design responds to social and ecological contexts through a mindful, user-centric approach. He combines constant iteration, material exploration, and contextual sensitivity to create spaces that are both adaptive and meaningful.
Arshia holds a Bachelor of Architectural Science from the British Columbia Institute of Technology and will soon pursue a Master of Architecture at the University of British Columbia. Outside the office, he enjoys drawing, altering clothing, and reading.
