Creative Director- BaharHer guiding principle is the notion that joy must be allowed to pervade every sector of the work. By utilizing the ‘correct’ methodology she has figured real life and practical solutions for a enjoyable and comfortable hostel stay.

Bahar has backpacked through Europe and Asia in the past year and a half. She has resided in many hostels that was possible. She has coach surfed and she has also experienced a bed and breakfast as well as a luxurious hotel. Bahar has the perfect idea of what makes an enjoyable stay during one’s travel journey.

Though an architect and designer of international standing and experience, Bahar forms localized responses in her work which extend beyond the project site to inclde the canvas of street and town, users and history.

Bahar’s design brief grows organically from debate and experiment, and offers spontaneous resolutions which materialize into unique structures.

BUNK designs are implicitly environmentally responsive with low energy service systems. Bahar is always open to new ideas and new creative members to join her group. She’s a practicing interior designer for the past 8 years with a BA from ryerson and MA of Arch. from U of T.



Marketing Director- DexterDexter has a Honours BA in Commerce from McMaster University with a minor in design management and marketing. Dexter challenged himself by starting his journey as a sales representative in the dynamic real estate sphere of Toronto. Whilst Dexter was enjoying a growing reputation as a trustworthy real estate agent he was also nurturing his vision for the future of Toronto by engaging in private home construction.

He then gradually distanced himself from the sales field and practiced his marketing skills by working within the hospitality firm for many hotels and motels for their marketing strategies and ways to increase sales.

Dexter pays special attention to client satisfaction, quality of professional services, and utilizes comprehensive marketing tools available in the field of hospitality.



Junior Designer- Joe

Joe is the resident artist at BUNK design contributing concept drawings, sketches, and 3D computer designs to initial project stages as well as a body independent work which contributes to the practiced output. He is a graduate from Ryerson School of Architecture in Toronto.

Just very recently Rosa’s design for the redevelopment of Kipsala Island in Riga (Latvia) won an honorable mention in the international Europan 7 competition. Her concept is based on mixed use scheme combining green space, water space, residential and office use with bigger scale peripheral uses in a unique multi-layered landscape.
