After qualifying as an Architect in Turkey, Serap has enjoyed a challenging and diverse range of experiences. Over the years, her passion for architecture remained, but because of her love for details, interior design became her niche.

Having spent much of her career working internationally with projects in Canada, USA, and Turkey, her projects include high-end residential, hospitality, and yacht interiors.

Serap believes that the design of a modern interior is not just about the arrangement and finishes, it is about seamless integration of systems, and can be achieved by considering the architectural and technical elements in a design. Serap’s goal for the near future is to become a member of Interior Designers Institute of British Columbia (IDIBC).

Outside work, Serap enjoys spending time with her young daughter exploring, and enjoying the outdoors (which includes of course playgrounds)!

From a young age, Chris has been interested in the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of buildings, including how they were put together, why certain choices were made, and why they were designed a particular way. He brings his curiosity and a strong base of technical skills to Station One, contributing to the best possible outcomes for our projects.
Working in the industry while studying at BCIT fueled Chris’ drive and inspiration for architecture, and he gained valuable industry experience working on a wide range of projects. A sports fan, Chris is happy to play or watch any sport, and is a member of our very own SOA slo-pitch team. A lover of music, Chris listens to a collection of CDs of his favourite artists and bands, and also enjoys the beauty of the Fraser Valley photographing, hiking, and being in nature.

Jadwinder has been interested in architecture since building realistic homes in videogames, which then evolved into a hobby. With influences in the family, including a work experience opportunity, he pursued architecture post-secondary and has chosen to be with us at Station One because we utilize the cutting edge 3D software Revit and the schools he attended, Abbotsford Senior Secondary and Abbotsford Middle, were designed by us! With an interest in computers, Jadwinder likes to tinker and push limits with hardware, and enjoys playing video games with friends. He also likes going for walks with family and friends and helping in his father’s garden that provides a beautiful variety of vegetables and fruit.
