Her exploration of her home country cultivated her interest and passion for natural materials and sustainable construction techniques that pay homage and partner well with the surrounding nature.
Aldis’ love of cultural heritage and restoration, coupled with her passion for sustainable and natural materials and interplay between constructed spaces and nature, allows her to create a cohesive design that reflects both its surroundings, and the clients wishes.
Aldis’ core competencies lie in the intersection of cultural heritage, transformation, restoration, and interior design with a focus on valuation, analysis, research, concept development and designing.
