About Shima

I’m an interior architect and stylist with a passion for crafting emotional spaces. Inspired by the sensory depth of Peter Zumthor’s work, I design not just rooms — but atmospheres full of ambiance and subtle élégance.

My focus is on residential projects, where I blend spatial design with styling to create intimate, curated environments. I believe beauty lives in detail: a shadow, a texture, a silence.

Tools like Revit, 3ds Max, AutoCAD and V-Ray help me visualize — but it’s instinct, mood, and storytelling that shape my work.
