Navid joined dRMM in 2023 and is currently working on a large mixed-use scheme in south-east London. Before this he was at shedkm for four years, where he gained experience in housing, workspace and mixed-use masterplanning at various scales, including the East Wick and Sweetwater masterplans in east London. Navid has particular interest in utilising visualisation as a design tool to enhance the creative process. He believes good architecture is ordered, methodical and celebrates materials from which it is made; creating holistic places with a simple considered form.

Navid studied for his undergraduate degree and master of architecture at the University of Liverpool, before qualifying as an Architect in 2022. His thesis explored the notion of transience, creating a coastal resort typology which catered to the requirements of holidaymakers’ gradual transition into their increased allocated vacation time in the future. Outside of the studio Navid enjoys DIY, gardening and discovering new Sunday roasts in the countryside.
