Hi, I’m Atefeh Lachinian, an Intern Architect (AIBC) with 15+ years of experience delivering residential and mixed-use projects from concept through construction documentation. I translate design intent into precise, buildable solutions, coordinating with trades and on-site teams to resolve real-world construction challenges. I thrive on turning ideas into tangible spaces that balance function, aesthetics, and sustainability, while maintaining strong client relations and a collaborative project team. I enjoy leading full design and construction documentation, developing millwork and finishes schedules, and resolving on-site issues during execution. My approach combines disciplined planning with hands-on problem solving, and I’m always eager to learn new skills and push design boundaries while delivering high-quality results on time and within budget.
