“I draw my inspiration from abstract art - just as abstract painting distils the essence of form and colour, historic preservation captures the spirit of a bygone era, weaving past and present into a harmonious dialogue.”

Gabija is a qualified architect with over three years of professional experience working across a range of sectors and RIBA work stages.
