Selim Vural, AIA, founder

Selim is a Turkish-American architect living in NY since he came to pursue his master's degree in Architecture in 1993. After his graduation from Pratt Institute, he worked for a number of prominent firms including Eisenman Architects, SOM and Swanke Hayden Connell before forming his own.

Selim received his undergraduate degree at Istanbul's iconic Mimar Sinan Academy where he studied under professor Cengiz Eren and his father Oral Vural. In addition to his contemporary American training, he studied Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, which still influence his work today.

Selim lives in Brooklyn with his wife and son. He loves gardening, fishing, cooking, reading and playing Fortnite with his son.

Individuals make a difference, but a team makes miracles.

Ayca Yildirim
Intern

Ayca is from MEF University in Istanbul doing her internship in our office for summer 2022. She is hard working, talented and contagiously upbeat. We are training her on all aspects of interior design projects and soon she will work on detailing and construction drawings. She loves to cook, another incentive for a kitchen in our office.

Vandana Ranjan
Administrator

Vandana is our administrator and financial coordinator who makes sure we get paid. (Therefore, she holds the golden seat in the office.) A librarian by training and experienced in real estate makes her background a special asset to our firm.

She loves Indian Classical music and teaches us about Bhagavad Gita at times. Vandana hates pets so no office pet so far.
