"Rachel's works are of reinvention, experimentation, and conceptual metaphors. Rachel is not tied to any particular ideological or formal predilections. She experiment, explore, and expand the boundaries of conventional architectural practice to respond to contemporary architectural issues using the latest technologies and new ways of communication to create functional and beautiful design solutions for spaces where people can fully appreciate their surroundings and feel good."
