From Computational Design to Fabricated Reality

Philip Shikhess is a computational designer specializing in parametric wall design, CNC fabrication, and custom 3D textured wall panels.

RILIEVO — A New Language of Architectural Surfaces

RILIEVO is a system of sculptural architectural surfaces developed through design, material exploration, and fabrication.
It transforms walls into expressive spatial elements — where light, depth, and texture create a new architectural language.

Selected Projects

The Bentley Banquet

Wyandotte, Michigan, USA

A luxury hospitality interior designed to create a refined and elegant guest experience. The project features bespoke finishes, classical detailing, custom wall treatments, and carefully curated lighting to enhance the spatial atmosphere. The design balances ornamental elements with contemporary comfort, creating a welcoming yet sophisticated environment suitable for high-end events and social gatherings.

Twar Mall

Doha , Qatar

A large-scale commercial retail development where the façade and interior design were developed from initial digital concept and visualization through to built implementation. The project explores contemporary architectural expression combined with interior spatial design to create a cohesive commercial environment. The work demonstrates a complete design workflow, bridging computational visualization and real-world construction, and translating concept renders into physical architectural reality.

B Henri Restaurant

Exterior & Interior Design – West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA

A contemporary restaurant design project combining architectural façade development with interior spatial design to create a strong brand presence and an inviting dining atmosphere. The project emphasizes material contrast, controlled lighting, and transparency between interior and exterior spaces. The design balances modern architectural expression with warmth and hospitality, shaping both the visual identity of the restaurant and the customer experience from arrival through dining.

Why work with me


Design is only the beginning. I bring ideas into the real world.
With over 30 years of experience in interior design, 3D modeling, and digital fabrication, I work across the full spectrum of design—from concept and visualization to fabrication-ready solutions. My process bridges computational design with real-world construction, allowing complex ideas to become buildable, efficient, and visually powerful spaces.

  •  

what bring to every project

Design + Fabrication Thinking
I design with construction and fabrication in mind, reducing gaps between vision and execution.

  • Computational & Parametric Design
    Advanced 3D workflows allow me to explore forms, materials, and systems that go beyond standard design approaches.

  • Real-World Experience
    My work is not only conceptual—it is built, installed, and tested in real environments across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects.

  • Client-Focused Process
    Clear communication, realistic visualization, and buildable outcomes.

Experience

With over three decades of experience in interior design, 3D visualization, and fabrication-driven design, I have worked across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects in multiple countries. My background combines architectural design thinking with hands-on fabrication awareness, allowing me to deliver concepts that are both visually compelling and technically grounded.
My work spans from luxury interiors and large-scale commercial environments to custom-designed architectural elements and parametric surfaces, bridging creative vision with buildable reality.
