About the Project
Orthodox church complex of St. Philip the Apostle in Sharjah, UAE. The project brings the church and supporting spaces together as a coherent composition adapted to the local climate and site conditions. The complex was completed and now serves the Russian Orthodox community in the UAE.
I contributed to 3D modeling in 3ds Max, visualization, working documentation, and site supervision during construction. The lead architect was Yuri Viktorovich Kirs of Architectural Studio Eidos.
