Traveling with this gentleman, was like walking around with an encyclopedia. Altough he was not a Grameen intern, he took the time to show us the country and extended his hospitality throughout our two month stay in Bangladesh.
What was his forte? Everything from archeological facts & history to photography and international culinary arts, with a wide stroke of world affairs in between. His passion for architecture led him to graduate in the field from the University of Houston. He went back to Bangladesh to establish his architectural firm after working on gigantic projects in the Middle East for a few years and doing his MBA from Ashton, U.K.
Aaref was born and raised in Bangladesh. His father was the Governor of one of the most prestigious banks in Bangladesh. He is a surreal link to both my husband and I because he was both our playmates at childhood.
His work can be spotted from a mile around town, because of his cutting edge trademarked style of soft curved lines and unusual choice of colored accented lighting. His contemporary glass house has the most breathtaking views of a lake and draws the most happening fashion shoot and music video recordings!
He functions like an Ambassador in Bangladesh of Bangladesh, connecting with top corporate execs and diplomats that visit the country giving them an arsty upscale cosmopolitan flavor of the city. He is one of the upcoming real estate developers quietly building his empire of modern structures and resorts.
