I believe in a philosophy that entails design as an interdisciplinary, collective effort to respond to contemporary needs and future issues. A great design is the result of collaborative work combined with passionate, innivative, sensitive values that transforms a place or a space into a unique solution that responds to human needs.

Cultural sustainable architecture with strong focus on context and site specific projects deeply rooted in the local environment and building traditions.

Their designed Projects have been involved in various ranges of Architecture such as residential complexes, commercial buildings and restoration of architectural Heritage. Aesthetic, function, Genius loci and Vernacular Architecture have been considered in the base of their design process.

Nima Keivani practice has been concentrating on spiritual dimension of architecture, in which the creation of meaningful, enriched, and innovative spaces is remarked as a significant task. Relying on their theoretical and practical experiences, his design team utilizes up-to-dated methods and technologies to actualize the generated ideas, in which social, environmental and economic sustainability is in the core. His creativity and ideas is usually influenced by regional culture and environmental circumstances, which in a global scale, make their practice novel, unique, and useful for human society.

In his point of view, architecture should be considered in urban context, so social sustainability and its relationship with quality of urban spaces is one of the main subject of his papers in journals.

My architectural approach is oriented in the structuring of the form.
