Ahmadreza (Ran) Honarmand

I am an Architectural Designer with a background in Sustainable Architecture, Landscape Design, and Building Engineering. I enjoy bridging concept and construction, using BIM, parametric modeling, and sustainable strategies to turn ideas into buildable solutions.

My approach has grown from early interests in modernism to a focus on materiality, atmosphere, and human experience. I see architecture as a dialogue between memory, material, and collaboration—where spaces are both precise and meaningful. With experience in residential, cultural, and educational projects, I bring strong digital skills, a collaborative spirit, and care for detail.
