ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO
Architect. Creator. Visionary.
I Sultanul Rafid, completed my Master of Architecture at the University of South Australia, bringing with me a wealth of knowledge and over five years of invaluable industry experience garnered in Bangladesh. This professional journey has afforded me the privilege of contributing to a diverse array of projects encompassing residential, commercial, industrial, and interior design domains.
In addition to my both academic and professional achievements, I possess advanced proficiency in a comprehensive suite of software applications, including AutoCAD, SketchUp + v-ray, Photoshop, Illustrator, Enscape, Wondershare Filmora, and the Microsoft Office suite, Adobe InDesign, alongside a moderate proficiency in Revit. These skills are complemented by a fervent dedication to excellence and a profound enthusiasm for architectural innovation.

PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO
All About Md. Sultanul Rafid
Starting my professional journey in 2015, the desire to learn in site architecture that I attained soon became an unyielding obligation to myself to explore the inner mechanism of my creative consciousness. From small sketches to large scale projects, my professional style of architecture is a highly-personal reflection of myself.
I was fortunate enough to be able to do my internship in “Synthesis Architects” under Ar. Patrick D’ Rozario (Assistant Professor, department of architecture, BUET). However, at the end of 2017, I left a job from “Synthesis Architects” and joined “In QUEST Design Studio” under Selim Altaf Biplob (b.arch, MIAB, Partner-INQUEST DESIGN STUDIO(from 2019), Former Member, Professional Affairs 19th Executive Committee, Institute of Architects Bangladesh). As far as I am concerned, I have extensive knowledge of almost all types of software related to architecture. It is worth noting that, I spent a huge amount of time in my architecture practice learning not only presentations but also developing 2d drawings, 3d development, and many more. However, I have got my full membership number as a professional architect in 2019 from IAB (Institute of Architects Bangladesh). Finally, I would like to continue my architectural career with those who work with new challenges so I can learn new features and become an expert in architecture. If you would like to find out more about my process, get in touch.

COMPETITION
Professional Project
I had the opportunity to work on two competition projects in my architecture life, where we own one of the projects named "Joyeeta Tower". Unfortunately, we didn`t get the project due to financial issues. On the other hand, the other project named "Health Complex One" was a giant one. I had learned a lot while working on this project.
