An elegant 19th century hotel in Boston’s South End, the Alexandra was replanned for another use in 2009. but that project was never executed. On the studio project We worked with the plans as designed in 2009 to create a small, high-end, boutique hotel. The operators are not a big hotel company or part of a big company, so they need a way to attract patrons and to develop a reputation.They have decided to do this through exceptional, original design and top-level, highly personal service. The building was built in 1875 as a residential hotel featuring. The Square Foot : 42,000-square-foot

The LED Curve is an interior light fixture characterized by its simple and elegant design. Its unique shape draws inspiration from the experimentation done with different curvilinear forms using a plastic cup. The concept behind the design reflects the notion that answers are always around us. With its versatility, the LED Curve can function as both a task light and a pendant light, providing both practical illumination and aesthetic appeal to any space.

LED curve is used as an interior light fixture with very simple and elegant design. The shape is not coming from the normal concept. It was moment that I was playing with a plastic cup and creating shapes while talking to my friends. I came up with shape that really interested me and I was saying that it would be a great idea for my luminaire project. The idea represents the simplicity and elegance of the shapes. LED curve can be a task light and pendant light. led curve could be a good idea as a mass manufacture.

Introducing the Illusion Hotel, located on the Red Sea Islands between Umluj and Al Wajh in northwestern Saudi Arabia. These cities are renowned for their sandy beaches and clean waters, making them ideal for a luxurious tourist destination.
The Illusion Hotel aims to transform Saudi Arabia’s tourism sector, which has traditionally focused on Muslim visitors to the holy sanctuaries in Mecca and Medina. By offering a captivating coastal retreat, the country seeks to diversify and expand its tourism offerings, bringing economic benefits beyond religious tourism.
Living in America has shaped my understanding of how people perceive Saudi Arabia. When I mention that I am from Saudi Arabia, it often triggers a series of questions: Is it all desert? Do you ride camels? Are women discriminated against? Can women drive? Is it always hot? Why do women wear scarves? Why are they covered? and more.
However, it’s important to recognize that what you hear may not always reflect the full reality of a place.

The EMP Table is a furniture design inspired by the renowned artist Franz Kline, known for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement of the 1940s and 1950s.
The EMP Table, named after the concept of “emptiness,” is a versatile piece of furniture that can serve as a side table, study table, eating table, or even a seat depending on its orientation. It can be crafted from steel, plastic, or wood, catering to different preferences and interior styles. This product is ideal for those seeking modern, contemporary, simple, and flexible furniture. It offers a modern and flexible alternative to traditional coffee and side tables while taking up less space. It is particularly suitable for urban dwellers who value ease of transportation, easy maintenance, and compactness.
The Upcycling Market is situated in Summerville, MA. The concept behind the building is to seamlessly integrate the surrounding landscape and the building’s design, connecting all sides of the vast land. The objective is to establish functional community spaces that serve the needs of the local residents..
These houses are located by the Charles River in Boston. The unique aspect of these houses is that they are attached to each other but designed with two different strategies: one using a thick approach and the other using a thin approach. This architectural distinction adds diversity and character to the overall design, creating an intriguing contrast between the two houses.
Designing in a contemporary language and utilizing modern building techniques is essential to meet the architectural needs of this era. The goal is to create a building that will stand the test of time and serve future generations. Precast concrete is chosen as the base material due to its efficiency in assembly, as well as its economic and environmental benefits.Traditional materials are treated and molded into symmetrical shapes, creating an elegant visual rhythm and exceptional strength. By using the right aggregates, the building can resist corrosion and breakage, ensuring its longevity. The systems are abstracted to a form that aligns with these factors, allowing flexibility for future program changes over the years. Modular elements are introduced to accompany these changes, with a structural design that allows for a 60’ span, providing an open and airy interior. Double T slabs for the floors not only enhance the visual rhythm within the interior but also support the mechanical systems running throughout the building. The building’s terracing creates a pleasing aesthetic, avoiding a monolithic appearance. Its orientation towards the river allows occupants to enjoy beautiful scenery, which enhances productivity. Green areas are integrated into the building through the creation of green roofs, which can be transformed into spaces serving the community. By adding and subtracting masses from the building, a play of light and shadow is achieved, ensuring sufficient sunlight penetrates the interior during the day. This approach creates dynamic and visually engaging spaces.

The facade is attached onto the structure with a weld, in between the 2 concrete is an Insulation layer as-well as a thermal barrier layer so the building will avoid heat loss or gain. The horizontal slabs are tilted so the water slides down. The glass is incerted in-between the wood panel then placed into the concrete panel.

CONCEPT: THE EXISTING SOWA MARKET COMPRISES TENTS ALIGNED ALONG TWO SIDES OF THE STREET, WHERE SIMPLE TENTS FORM THE VENDOR SPACES. THE IDEA WE ENDED UP COMING TOGETHER ON BEGAN WITH A MODULAR SET OF ANGLED SURFACES- SOMEWHAT IN THE SHAPE OF TWO OVERLAID GS, AND WE LIKED THE IDEA OF A CONTINUOUS BENDING SURFACE THAT WOULD BE INVERTED. HOWEVER, WORKING MORE CLOSELY WITH DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS CAUSED US TO REFORM IT. WHAT WE PRESERVED, AS WE MODIFIED OUR IDEAS, WAS THE DRAMATIC ANGULARITY OF THE ENVELOPE, WHERE TWO ANGLED SURFACES CONTRAST THE PERPENDICULAR NORTH WALL.
STRUCTURE : FORMING THE VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF THE NORTH WALL ARE A ROW OF 8” WIDE-FLANGE BEAMS; SUPPORTING THE ROOF AT A MORE CENTRAL POINT, ALSO DEFINING THE END OF THE MEZZANINE LEVEL, IS ANOTHER ROW OF 8” WIDE-FLANGE BEAMS. THE SPAN OF THESE TWO COLUMNS IS QUITE TALL, SO FOR TRANSPORTATION OF MEMBERS TO SITE, WE PROPOSE SPLICED COLUMNS.
THOSE ARE THE MEMBERS PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND PLANE, AND THIS OBTUSE ANGLE FORMED BY THE SLANTED ROOF AND THIS LAST, SHORTEST COLUMN SET. WE OBSERVE THAT THE SLANT OF THIS COLUMN MAY PRODUCE MOMENT AROUND THIS POINT (POINT TO BASE OF SLANTED COLUMN) AND WANTED TO COUNTERACT THAT ROTATION BY TYING IT BACK TO THE MEZZANINE LEVEL. WE CHOSE TO DO THIS RATHER THAN SUPPORT IT EXTERNALLY BOTH FOR SPACE CONSTRAINTS AS WELL AS TO GIVE THE BUILDING A SENSE OF “INTERNAL” AUTONOMY, NOT WISHING TO DETRACT FROM THE SIMPLE ANGULARITY OF THE WHOLE MAIN STRUCTURE. ALONG THIS AXIS (POINT LONGITUDINALLY) THERE IS A SUBTLE CHANGE IN THE ROOF FRAMING ANGLE WITH RESPECT TO THIS POINT (ABOVE SHORT COLUMN) WHICH EXPLAINS THE FANNING IN THE SECTION. LATERAL STABILITY IS PROVIDED BY CROSSED CABLE BRACING AND KNEE BRACING.
The project is located in Neponset River, Massachusetts, with the goal of building a long-lasting park in an area prone to flooding due to global warming. Using GIS analysis, data on flooding and population is gathered to identify at-risk houses. These houses will be relocated to a safer location, allowing for the creation of a park. The park will act as a sponge, absorbing and slowing water movements, employing strategies like stormwater management and wetlands to mitigate flooding. It aims to be a resilient and sustainable space that serves the community while addressing the challenges of climate change.
