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.
