G+2+T Residential Design | Contemporary Architecture & 3D Visualization
Transforming a family's needs into a functional, private, and contemporary home through thoughtful space planning, architectural design, and realistic 3D visualization.
This project presents the architectural design of a G+2+T private residence located in Mizan Tepi, Ethiopia, developed for a household comprising parents, four sons, one daughter, and a maid. With an approximate building area of 80 m² (10 × 8 m), the design focuses on maximizing functionality, ensuring privacy, and creating comfortable spaces for both individual living and family interaction.
The architectural approach combines functional zoning, clear circulation, privacy gradients, and vertical organization to accommodate the family's different needs within a compact building footprint.
Floor Plan Development
Each floor was carefully organized to establish a balance between shared family spaces and private living areas.
Ground Floor – Social & Service Spaces
The ground floor accommodates the main living activities, including a welcoming living room, dining area, open kitchen, traditional kitchen, common toilet, and maid's room. The layout prioritizes accessibility, functional relationships, and convenient circulation between the spaces.
First Floor – Private & Family Spaces
The first floor is designed around the parents' private zone, featuring a master bedroom, private bathroom, walk-in closet, and a family room. A dedicated prayer room is also incorporated to accommodate the family's daily needs.
Second Floor – Children's & Shared Spaces
The second floor accommodates four children's bedrooms, supported by shared toilet facilities and a central circulation area. A terrace and family gathering space provide additional opportunities for relaxation and interaction.
Contemporary Exterior Design
The exterior design explores a contemporary architectural language through the concept of addition and subtraction of forms. Rather than treating the building as a simple box, recessed volumes, projecting geometric elements, and layered façade compositions create depth, shadow, and visual interest.
Responding to the client's preference for gray tones, the façade combines clean white surfaces, dark gray accents, black marble-textured finishes, large glazed openings, and integrated architectural lighting.
The composition emphasizes strong horizontal and vertical elements, creating a distinctive modern identity while maintaining visual balance and functional openings.

Inner Form Interior Website Redesign Concept
A concept redesign of an interior design firm’s website in Chittagong, focused on clearer structure, a stronger first impression, and an easier path to contact.
For this concept redesign exercise, I took a local interior design site and completely elevated its presence into a premium, sophisticated portfolio. The catch? I kept their original colors, typography, and visual identity intact.
This concept shows how I approach a redesign: find what’s getting in the way, reorder the page around how visitors decide, and cut anything that doesn’t serve that. The design stays visual, since interior design depends on it, while the structure becomes easier to follow.
What do you guys think of this redesign??😊
very nice work broooooo
Lumen — UX/UI Design for a Premium Architecture Studio
Sometimes, the smallest details are what give a design its personality.
For Lumen, I found myself exploring how typography, architectural photography, colour, and layout could work together to tell a story before someone even starts reading.
I played with oversized text, warm brown tones, editorial layouts, and a mobile experience that carries the same visual character as the desktop design.
I especially enjoyed putting the mobile screens together. Seeing the different sections come to life on a smaller screen made the whole concept feel more complete.
It's always interesting to see how different creative decisions can change the way people experience a brand.
What's one design detail that can make you appreciate a website even before you've explored everything?

i love this soooo wellllll, i just said welll with 4 l's thats how good this is
VELOCITY turns a single drop of water into a hero launch for audio products. Built using the SVGator MCP and designing the products manually with Blender, the template pours water onto any headphone image and floods it into shape, because water takes the form of whatever it fills. That fluidity is the point: creators can swap the product render, brand colours and copy while the animation stays the same, making it ideal for product drops, colourway launches and pre-order campaigns.
Water taking the form of whatever it fills is a gorgeous concept for a launch template, Prajin. Pouring water over a headphone image and flooding it into shape is the kind of fluid drama that stops the scroll. Swapping renders while the animation stays the same is clever engineering too.
