Morphology

Dividing the mass into three main masses according to the three main division (Inpatient, Outpatient and the activities division, which is the added value in this project).

Making space for three courts, by subtracting, that will include playground, natural spaces, stadium and small amphitheater

Subtract the masses to create zig zag paths that spark the child's curiosity and their experience and to connect the three courts

Reducing the heights of the masses in a hierarchical way to reduce the intimidation of the building and in line with the winding paths

Overlapping he floors to continue with the pattern and increase the amount of natural lighting

Inpatient ward taking the advantage for the highest spot to exploit the views.

CURVY LINES

This site plan shows us the curvy lines that were used in the landscape to reduce the sharpness of the right angles of the building for giving a greater comfort to the child. This concept has also been applied in the interior space design.

Freelance Project (2022)

Partnership (Ammar Al-Qaddoumi)

Villa AA

Is a freelance villa project that me and my partner (Ammar AlQaddoumi) have started working on for two months after graduation. The client requested a unique looking villa with four bedrooms that were oriented towards the views of the city (AsSalt, Jordan), and a landscape design that included a pool, multiple sitting areas and a BBQ area, and the following graphics are proposed 3D renders & plans of the project.

An interior bedroom design proposal was created to give the client a better imagination on how bedrooms will function.

Profissional Association Complex

This project is a complete re-design of the Professional Association Complex building located in Amman, Jordan. Taking into account the problems faced by the users of the building, based on several questions we asked them, which are they : An overcrowded place, Lack of functions (offices , halls …), Lack of green areas, Lack of daylight and There is no private hangout for the staff.

Supervised

The main idea is to integrate architecture with nature since green architecture has an impact on architecture to minimize the harmful effects of construction projects on human health and the environment. this goal focuses on human comfort including improving the work environment , which increase the productivity and reduce the stress and give a positive impact on health.

Morphology `

Biophilic design is a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place conditions.

`

One main mass rectangular shape (1:2) suitable with ground proportion.

Subtract from the mass to make a court in the middle for more natural light and connect it with the other court with an open entrance

Dividing the mass to three levels to separate the offices on the top two levels and the public space on the ground floor

Overlapping the levels to make outside private hangout zones for the staff and to get more natural light

Ways Biophilic Design Taps Into Our Connection to Nature

Access to and views of nature

Some buildings are sited to offer sweeping ocean views from windows or an abundance of trees in a sweeping landscape, others are not. When designing for urban and more industrial-like sites, architects might choose to design courtyard spaces that feature trees and other flora to provide occupants views of and access to nature.

Working Area

Natural lighting

Access to natural light is a huge factor in the well-being of building occupants , it plays on the comfort, health and mood of the human .

Skylight To The Main Lobby

Improved air quality and ventilation

People who spend most of the day inside an office or another type of building often take breaks to “get some fresh air.” Architects respond to that desire by using biophilic design features, operable windows, rolling overhead doors that open to outdoor areas, double skin façade that reduce the hot air inside the building solar chimneys that use the stack effect to help move air.

Double skin façade

Natural materials and calming colors.

Materials and finishes play a large role in connecting users of a space to nature. Nearly all finishes have the opportunity to reflect nature, whether it be in natural paint colors, scenic murals, carpet material or pattern, wall panels with etched images of nature, or natural wood casework

Freelance work & Skills

Hijazi & Ghosheh Butchery

One of the most important clients in Jordan (Hijazi & Gosheh company) that I worked for as a freelance via a marketing company.

They asked for two unique design options for a butchery which is located in Aswaq Al-Salam, AlJandaweel, Amman, Jordan.

`

One of the options they asked for, is to have a Wooden Theme for the butchery, and the other option, they gave me freedom to design the butchery, so I went for a completely different theme (Marble Theme with the Lights) that represent the fanciness.

The two designs has a different distribution of the delis, fridges and services.
