Plume House
BRIEF
The Plume House is a housing project developed within one of the new urban extensions of my hometown, designed with a strong emphasis on social integration and user experience
Concept & Form Generation
The iterative design process was guided by modern architectural principles, while the program was tailored to accommodate a typical Algerian family, including grandparents and a young couple
The layout of The Plume House draws inspiration from the structure of a vintage quill, symbolizing the rich cultural heritage of my hometown—historically recognized as a hub of knowledge and science.
Beyond its architectural form, the project fosters social interaction and aims to bridge social divides by creating a neighborhood where apartment blocks and detached houses coexist harmoniously within the same site.
The fluidity of the quill’s form is translated into the spatial organization, creating a seamless flow between private and communal spaces.
Revit Courses Projects

Project Formation
Geometric shapes such as triangles, squares, and rectangles were manipulated through geometric operations like subtraction, addition, and reorientation to create a dynamic spatial arrangement that responds to both the site and the intended function of the center.
The Civic Center building project aimed to develop a comprehensive facility for the city of Constantine, offering a wide range of activities and services to the public. The urban composition of Constantine is defined by two distinct entities, divided by the Rhumel Canyon and connected through bridges. These two parts are characterized by different architectural styles: one side features the old urban fabric, known as “the old town,” while the other side showcases the “modern” colonial fabric.
The project’s design follows these urban principles, taking the form of separate entities unified in a way that reflects the character of the site.
The Modern Entity: This part is defined by the austerity of straight lines and regular shapes, designed according to the linear spatial organization of the modern section of the city.
The Medina-shaped Entity: In contrast, this part follows a centric layout, which not only mirrors the spatial organization of the old town but also creates distinct atmospheres for visitors, enhancing the expe -
Facade Design
The superposition of both elements, along with the introduction of a circle representing the knot in the road grid, led to the creation of the final pattern.
While the possibilities for creating a new pattern are endless, the originality of the chosen one lies within the context of the project itself. This context inspired the creation of a module that spans across the facade, evoking traditional architectural features such as the ‘Moucharabia’ and the ‘Arab claustra,’ which are extensively used in Constantine.
The first step in generating the facade pattern was to use the street grid of the old city. This initial pattern was then refined and transformed through a series of geometric operations to reach the final design.
The facade design is an extension of the urban fabric of the city. In other words, the facade pattern emerged from a creative process that reflects the urban complexity of the site, showcasing this complexity on the building envelope.

Geometra: Tracing Ancient Forms
Musuem of ancient history and art
The museum project aims to blend inspiration from the past with adaptation to the present and projection into the future, all within the context of architecture. This work highlights the iterative process of designing an architectural museum in the historic city of Constantine. The project seeks to connect the city’s past with its future, providing a contemporary touch to the millennial city, also known as “the ancient rock” or “Le Vieux Rocher.”
The architectural design process is based on metaphorical reasoning, grounded in a philosophical approach that allows for the exploration of key design concepts for the future creation of the museum. We began with the notions of “Museum” and “Medina” as the foundation, around which our metaphorical process unfolds through three sub-processes: metaphysical (exploring time and the museum), poetic, and analytical.

The starting point is the metaphor of constructing with the remnants of Constantine’s decaying medina
The second step is to trace two axes, ‘AA’ and ‘BB’, representing the Sidi Rachad Bridge and the Mellah Slimane Bridge
The third step: create six secondary axes radiating from the center toward the six gates of the medina — Bab El Oued, Bab Haninesh, Bab El Djabia, Bab Errouah, Bab El Jdid, and Bab El Kantra.
To bring order to the remnants, each gate symbolically assigns a stone to its axis. This gesture ensures camouflage through a volumetric composition characterized by introversion at the macro scale, culminating in a central forum reminiscent of Wast eda.
The concepts of fragmentation and camouflage are clearly visible at this stage. The fragments are carefully positioned on the site, and fragmentation is expressed through the irregularity of both the volumes and their placement
The geometric layout is an extension of the principle diagram, developed through a structured geometric process. It incorporates fundamental shapes—squares, circles, and triangles—along with geometric operations such as rotation, subtraction, the golden ratio, and proportional scaling, creating a cohesive and harmonious design.
Sustainability is a key principle in architecture. For this reason, we ensured the project complies with international LEED standards, supporting environmental protection through both active and passive strategies.

BIM Projects
Clash detection
I was responsible for creating architectural designs using Revit and coordinating structural design and fabrication with Tekla Structures. I ensured 3D multidisciplinary coordination by using Navisworks and Newformat Connect for efficient project management. This approach resulted in a fully integrated BIM model, optimizing project management, reducing conflicts between disciplines, and fostering smoother collaboration throughout the process.
4D
I implemented a comprehensive 3D model management system, integrating 4D scheduling simulations and 5D cost estimation to optimize construction processes. By utilizing Navisworks, I visualized project progression through 4D simulations and applied 5D tools for precise cost management, improving resource allocation and project planning. This approach enhanced overall construction management efficiency, offering a clearer view of timelines and budgets.
Construction management
I worked on a BIM-driven project for the Pavillon-F development, integrating Lean Construction principles and Location-Based Scheduling (LBS). I structured a construction schedule that aligned with architecture, structure, and MEP disciplines, ensuring an efficient project flow. By utilizing Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), I facilitated cloud-based collaboration and real-time project updates, delivering a clear and realistic 18-month timeline for the project.
In 5D BIM, I integrated accurate quantity takeoffs with cost data, enabling real-time cost estimation and efficient resource management, ensuring precise budgeting and minimizing procurement errors.
