Vajini Pannila

Vajini is a uniquely talented designer and communicator. She is passionate about the transformative power of architecture to transform cities and societies. “Buildings must give back to our planet and our communities beyond functionality or beauty. It takes a brilliant vision and tenacity to create architecture that is socially and environmentally sustainable as well as beautiful and functional. I like to work collaboratively, drawing on the diverse skills and perspectives of a strong team. Design iterations should grow around a central idea or narrative that anchors all decisions and remains legible in the final building. I love solving problems from an urban design scale through to architecture and the finer more tactile details that are experienced by everyone.” What sets Vajini apart is her unique ability to recognise and appreciate skills in others. As a moderator of voices, she skillfully extracts a brief and draws on diverse talents to create harmonious, innovative design responses. When presenting to clients, her passion and confidence is palpable, inspiring excitement and assurance in both the process and the outcome.
