Nikhil Shetty

Hello! I'm Nikhil, a Part 1 Architectural Assistant, I bring a diverse range of skills, technical expertise, and creative problem-solving abilities developed during my Bachelor of Arts in Architecture. With a focus on landscape and commercial projects, I have cultivated a strong understanding of design principles, construction techniques, and sustainability in architecture.

Key Responsibilities I Can Fulfill:

Design Development & Conceptualisation:
I am adept at translating design concepts into detailed architectural drawings and visualisations. Using industry-leading software such as Revit, Rhino 3D, SketchUp, and AutoCAD, I can create innovative and precise architectural solutions. My proficiency with Adobe Suite further enhances my ability to produce professional presentations and polished design documentation.

3D Modeling & Visualisation:
My experience in 3D modeling allows me to generate accurate and dynamic visual representations of design proposals. I use rendering software like Vray, Enscape, Twinmotion, and Photoshop to create realistic visualisations that bring architectural designs to life, along with physical models, leveraging hands-on experience with CNC cutting and model-building techniques to ensure high-quality, detailed outputs.

Collaborative Teamwork:
Having worked in various group settings, I thrive in collaborative environments. I understand the importance of communication, sharing ideas, and working closely with other team members to achieve a cohesive vision. My ability to foster a lively and effective work atmosphere contributes to productive project outcomes.

Attention to Detail:
With a background in art, craft, design and technology, I bring a strong sense of detail to every project I work on. Whether it’s fine-tuning design elements or ensuring precise measurements, my meticulous approach ensures that the quality of work is always top-notch.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to a progressive architectural firm where I can apply my creative and technical skills while continuing to grow as a professional. I am particularly drawn to roles where I can work on projects that prioritise sustainability and innovation. My passion for architecture, coupled with my dedication to learning and adapting, makes me eager to take on new challenges and deliver value to your team and projects.
