He continued his architectural studies with different office structures until 1990. He was nominated for and received awards for domestic and international architecture awards. His works between 1990-2004 were collected in the book "Dreams, Thoughts, Works" prepared by Tansel Korkmaz. In 2015, "A Building Book", which describes the thought and production process of Umur Printing House, was published by Umur Publications. In addition to his ongoing studies under the name of NSMH, he continues his services as a lecturer in different architectural schools in Turkey as a founding member of Istanbul Bilgi University Architecture Graduate Program and studio manager. Summer schools, conferences, juries and workshops for architecture students continue to be important parts of its relationship with architectural education. His architectural writings, interviews, exhibitions and publications are part of his work.
