YA House is designed for an Emirati single family in Dubai, U.A.E. It is located on a normative flat site of about 1372.82 sqm. The site is boarded with two neighbouring plots and two roads on the front and side. The analysis of the site and an understanding of the social and cultural characteristics of the Emirati Society sheds light on Issues of privacy, size of site, road noise, circulation and threshold between public and private zones of the villa as the major constraints. The client values transparency and natural light. Therefore it was important to provide as much glazing as possible where needed, while blocking out the solar heat gain on the south facade. In order to resolve the issue of privacy, public zones are separated from private zones of the villa with a threshold that blocks and blurs the boundaries between the 2 programmatic zones.

The #addresshotel & Residences is a mixed-use development with two 77 floor twin towers that will accommodate a 182 key five-star hotel, 479 residential apartments as well as 496 serviced / branded apartments. Currently open to the public. The main design driver was to create a simple form that maximizes daylight penetration and visibility to the prime surrounding context. The end product was a distinctive, elegant and timeless building with a stark contrast to the JBR skyline. . . .

Its so easy to forget how important living within nature is, & the effect it has on our wellbeing. As the name suggests, this house is set within a canopy of lush landscape. The idea came about when having a chat with the client who wanted to be able to practice jujitsu and yoga within his home. The solution was a lush and serene environment where he can practice and also feel more connected to nature. Canopy house features a well lit courtyard for yoga within the house & another leading to the underground games room, cinema & parking, a swimming pool that plunges out from within the building towards an outdoor yoga & jujitsu platform.

A work in progress sketch at concept design stage for a residential mixed use development…massing for 4 out of 6 towers on a cove. I find sketching to be a fast & effective way to communicate design ideas & solutions. Especially at the early stages of design, they can prove useful fin expressing & refining a design direction.

Casa dei fiori | Flower shop situated opposite the Cimitero monumentale di como. It explores the life-cycle of a flower, from when it is planted to the point when it is disposed and then the final reuse of the disposed flower as green manure for planting of new flowers. The sequence through the project has been choreographed around this premise. (at Como, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJsuwlkMDA0/?igshid=1dzxklqcpmpwo

Casa dei fiori | Flower shop situated opposite the Cimitero monumentale di como. Small scale cultural projects are usually very interesting and fulfilling in the sense that we get to explore elements in nature such as water, earth, fire, wind etc & their ability to influence / enhance the experience and story of the project or space. Here I explored the life-cycle of flowers from farm to the cemetery & back to the farm. Also introduced spaces for contemplation & reflection, while using water, the mountains & valley beyond as elements to enhance the experience within those spaces.

AL HASIRA is inspired by the rise in the need to enjoy the comfort and ambiance of Dubai’s sensational outdoor scenes. During the time of the year when the weather conducive for outdoor activity, it is almost impossible to resist the atmosphere at a park or in the Deserts. On the other hand, when it gets hot in the summer, most people would rather spend their time out on the beach. The Idea for Al Hasira stems from the intrinsic need to seat lower to the ground when at a park, the beach, plaza or square. It has become a common practice to use a combination of mats and pillows / cushions or anything that can be used to get comfortable in certain the outdoor spaces like the beach, a patch of grass, the park or the desert. With Al Hasira, we combine these possibilities into one single panel, which encourages a variety of postures ( i.e. seating, laying and so on), that can be combined together to facilitate interaction in parks, plazas, the desert, the beaches, on the sidewalk and several other public spaces such as the lobby of a building.

AL Hasira is a multi-functional piece of furniture that can be customized to fit a variety of seatingconfigurations and a multitude of colors, materials and texture. This sleek piece consists of two majorcomponents, a base material for support and a cushion material to make seating comfortable.Depending on the client’s preference and the function of a space, the piece could be customized with a juxtaposition of Fiberglass or Corian (for base material) and leather, rubber or wool (for cushion material) which would be suitable for interior spaces. On the other hand, for outdoor environments, in order to have a more timeless design or material option, clients may prefer a combination of a fiberglass or concrete base with timber (red meranti or teak) seating. Every Urban space is different, be it an interior space, sidewalk or a landscape, they all have their individual character. Al Hasira provides the client with the opportunity to personalize their benches, to make it unique to them and to their spaces.

The amount of panels placed together is proportional to the traffic and activity level of a specific zone or space. In other words, two panels combined together for lobbies of buildings and Placing three or four panels next to each other can serve nicely in a small back yards for residential use. While 1 panel will be suited for a sidewalk or a bus station condition. In a highly social environment like a park, plaza or square, the number of panels will be much more to promote more interaction between individuals and groups.
