Hi, I'm Shahrukh Qazi. I’m an architect with broad experience across residential, commercial, urban design, retail, and hospitality projects, including adaptive reuse and retrofit. I focus on sustainable design and carbon reduction, using lifecycle assessment and embodied carbon analysis to inform decisions while respecting heritage preservation when reusing historic fabric. I've led master planning and public space proposals in vulnerable frontier regions and historic urban environments, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to balance local genius loci, climate considerations, and regulatory requirements. I’m proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Lumion, and the Adobe Creative Suite, and I strive to deliver context-responsive, low-carbon architectural solutions.
