Crafting Visionary Spaces for the Select Few Who Dare to Be Different

​

With over two decades of experience in leading architectural firms and a track record of independently winning design competitions, I founded EK Architecture, PLLC (onE.GLobe) to deliver bespoke, innovative solutions tailored to each client’s unique vision and goals.

​

I specialize in transforming spaces into luxury architectural icons—environments that uplift, inspire, and serve a clear purpose. By combining deep technical expertise with cutting-edge AI-integrated computational design and BIM workflows, I streamline every project phase—from design to permit documentation to construction administration. This approach minimizes endless revisions, saves critical resources, and ensures efficiency, precision, and clear communication throughout the process.

​

At onE.GLobe, sustainability, regeneration, and well-being are seamlessly integrated into every design—not as standalone goals but as essential elements of human-centered, uplifting spaces. Each project is thoughtfully crafted to reflect its unique context, align with client needs, and meet long-term aspirations.

​

Whether it's luxury residential, commercial spaces, or mixed-use developments, onE.GLobe is your trusted partner for turning potential into timeless architectural icons. Our designs are more than just structures—they reflect purpose, individuality, and innovation.
