About
Architect MSc ETH SIA
Hi, I’m Simeon,
31 years old, motivated, extroverted, and entrepreneurial. Hungry, always learning, driven by constant innovation and self-improvement.
Since I was a little boy I spent my time drawing or assembling Legos/Playmobiles. I was always most interested in building buildings; playing SIMS just to build the house, and then moving on to the next.
When I started studying architecture I found my cause. I have a huge interest in philosophy (in general) and especially in philosophy about architecture/architecture theory. I believe housing is the most important discipline of architecture and that we can change the world by designing great homes for everyone; Especially the poor also deserve great housing. In my book good design doesn’t have to be expensive; You can cook a great meal with cheap ingredients.
I’m highly interested in design and everything connected to it. Graphic design became a hobby and “side-hustle”. I’ve designed a few business cards, websites, etc., and helped out with the marketing for other companies.
I like seeing the big picture, but also it is important to me to be able to do everything by myself (if the team needs help). Therefore I’m very interested in anything entrepreneurial.
Huge interest in teaching architecture and design.
My dream is to work in experimental housing and design big housing projects that help people currently with no decent home. I hope to contribute to a better world with my design and work. Seeing a customer’s reaction to the design that fulfills the budget and his wishes is incredibly rewarding to me.
In my spare time, I like to cook (my seafood pasta is famous!), do latte art, skateboard everywhere, do bouldering, and sing/play guitar.
