Welcome to my website!
I’m Jasmina, an architect from Germany living and working in Loja, Ecuador. Here you’ll find a collection of my projects and ideas related to architecture, interior design, graphic design, and photography.
When it comes to architecture and interior design, my focus is on sustainable architecture using renewable materials such as bamboo and reed (carrizo), and traditional construction techniques that incorporate earth (loam) as the main material. I believe in creating healthy, beautiful interiors that truly meet the users’ needs and exist in harmony with their surroundings. Each project I take on as an architect or interior designer becomes a personal matter to me — I work with care, logic, and creativity to find the best solutions for my clients. To see some of my completed projects, visit 2015 – now.
As a lecturer, I enjoy sharing knowledge and experiences with my colleagues and students. I teach subjects like Basics of Design and Model Building, mainly in the field of architecture. In Basics of Design, we focus on anthropometry as a foundation for functional and intuitive design, and we explore strategies for creating or reinterpreting architectural spaces. The Model Building course covers different types of architectural models, their scales, and levels of detail, combining theory and practice to build a scaled presentation model. You can find some of my course content under Teaching.
If you’d like to see some of my photography and read about plants, animals, and the rural and urban landscapes of Ecuador, head over to the Blog — you’ll find observations and stories from daily life there.
