What is your favorite project and why?

It’s all about small moment encounters; my favorite moment in a project is the evaluation and documentation of the church towers at St. Mary of Perpetual Health. We ascended with a boom lift to perform our evaluation of the tower on a cold and desolate day. Then suddenly a divine beam of sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the cross at the top and bathing the entire tower in celestial radiance – that scene imprinted a memory of sheer wonder and made being an architect an absolute honor.

Why do you like working at KGH?

Beyond the welcoming atmosphere of our office, the work offers a captivating interplay of contrasts and diversity. It entails ascending to great heights and descending into vaulted depths, engaging in casual banter with tradesmen while also conversing professionally with condominium boards.
