Hi, I’m Loh Jia Jun!
I’m an MArch student in the atelier of Non-Standard Habitat design, focusing on adaptive reuse, speculative materials, and non-standard construction methods. My journey in architecture started with a Bachelor’s degree at Taylor’s University, where I built a strong foundation in architectural design, spatial planning, urban planning designs and technical drawings.

I’ve gained hands-on experience in both developer and architecture firms. As a Project Management Assistant at a developer firm, I was involved in construction site coordination and project oversight. Later, I worked as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant at an architecture firm, where I focused on design development, technical drawings, and detailing.

My design approach balances minimalism, material innovation, and sustainability, creating spaces that are functional yet emotionally engaging. I’m particularly interested in architecture that blends natural materials, bold geometries, and cutting-edge technology, shaping environments that respond to both people and place.

I’m always excited to collaborate and exchange ideas, pushing architectural thinking forward. Let’s create something meaningful together!

Outside of architecture, I have a deep passion for photography and videography, capturing not just built environments but also everyday moments.

Feel free to connect with me at kenneth11023938@gmail.com – let’s build something great!

Hello, my name is Sophie. I am a first year M.Arch student in the FLUX Atelier.

I studied in Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan for my undergraduate degree, returning to the UK after graduation in 2022.

Over the past few years, I have been working at Arkilab Design Studio in Manchester, gaining experience across various RIBA stages. I have specialised in education projects while also working on residential and leisure developments.

Outside of academia, I enjoy playing water polo.

Hello, my name is Alliah, and I am a 5th-year MArch student in the AND Atelier.

In 2023, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Reading, where I focused on cultural and vernacular architecture through a linear and historiographical visual art style. I also have a strong interest in pedagogy and construction detailing.

I spent a year in industry working in London as both a Part 1 Architectural Assistant and an Architectural Building Regulations Consultant. During this time, I managed projects from appointment and concept design through to snagging and handover. My experience at one of the UK’s leading firms in luxury retail architecture allowed me to operate on both micro and macro scales, managing projects, handling tenders, and engaging directly with clients.

While studying at MSA, I have developed a keen interest in ultra-sustainability and community development, which I explore through iterative rendering and visualisation. I aim to continually refine my skills in software such as V-Ray, Lumion, and Twinmotion while also improving my pedagogy skills to help others optimise their own.

Outside of architecture, I enjoy playing the piano, keeping fit through horse riding and running, and, most importantly, getting a good night's sleep!

Please feel free to contact me on Mahasin.Nadeem@stu.mmu.ac.uk. I am excited to begin our work together!

Hi, My name is Ayesha Tariq. I am a 2nd year part time student of MA Architecture and Adaptive Reuse. I completed my bachelor’s degree from the National College of Arts (NCA) in Pakistan, and I am currently pursuing my master’s in architecture with a specialization in adaptive reuse. This program allows me to explore innovative ways to repurpose existing structures, merging historical significance with modern functionality. My aim is to contribute to sustainable architectural practices that respect the past while fulfilling contemporary needs.

Hii!! My name is Sakshi Ahuja
Atelier: NSH (Non Standard Habitat)

As a first-year M.Arch student, my academic journey has been shaped by my love for drawing and music, ultimately leading me to architecture. My passion for the subject has only grown, particularly in how geometry and the fusion of solid shapes are potent sources of inspiration. My goal as an architect is to develop an efficient and sustainable approach to today’s challenges, with a strong focus on responsibility and sensitivity. I also enjoy creating graphical visuals with Photoshop and Illustrator. In addition to my academic pursuits, I hold a bachelor's degree from the SAL School Of Architecture, Ahmedabad, India, and have gained 16 months of valuable experience in an architecture and interior firm.
Interests outside of architecture: I enjoy dancing, creative writing, and yapping.

During our two action weeks, we will produce a design response to the site and brief, but we would also like to use this time to help you develop the skills you wish to learn. We specifically focus on visuals regarding 2D and 3D renders, digital or physical modeling, sketching, collaging, rendering, or preparing presentations. We will use our individual strengths to help you develop your skills. According to the action plan, we will be split into two groups, and the winning group will get a Prize!!

If anything here sparks your interest, or you have any questions, please get in touch! We also love food, especially Pizza, and kindred people!! See you soon:)

Hello! My name is Kunal, and I am currently pursuing my MArch degree in the Infra atelier. I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from Measi Academy of Architecture in 2023, after which I gained valuable professional experience working in the field for a year.

My current focus is an adaptive reuse project, where I'm exploring innovative methods to retain existing structures, transforming them into contemporary, functional spaces. My skill set includes proficiency in software such as Revit, SketchUp, V-Ray, Enscape, and Lumion. I'm also actively expanding my expertise into Rhino and Grasshopper.

Outside of architecture, I enjoy travelling and playing cricket, activities that help me recharge creatively.

I'm excited to connect—feel free to reach out!
