This residential project, located on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, spans a site area of 24,000 sqm with a total built-up area of 98,000 sqm, housing 204 units across two towers with 9 floors each.

As an active member of the design team, I collaborated closely with the Design Head, contributing through hand sketches for concept design stages and client presentations, floor plate planning in AutoCAD, and designing the tower facades using SketchUp. I also created design diagrams and graphics utilizing SketchUp and Photoshop, and played a key role in 3D design and development in SketchUp. Additionally, I coordinated with various consultants, including those in structure and MEP, and participated in client meetings to ensure a comprehensive approach to the project’s success.
