The project intent was to design an interior design school adjacent to the existing College of Architecture Art & Design. Classrooms, labs, and student lounges were designed to accomodate students needs and aspirations in an educational environment. The design process was inclusive of most AIA phases of a project, starting from Pre-Design to Construction Documents which enhanced our ability to produce a well developed project that would eventually be built. Moreover, high tech, and AI features were occupying the project’s facilities.
The project included 3 types of tiles used for different areas across the project. Each tile was designed in a different technique between CNC wood Carving, 3D printing and Resin Casting.

The initiative was created and manufactured for the Abu Dhabi-based sustainability team at New York University. The goal of the initiative was to construct a mobile workshop camper for sustainability that would tour the United Arab Emirates. These seminars would demonstrate how plastic waste can be recycled to create building materials that are more environmentally friendly. Consequently, developing new sturdy materials that would enhance design fabrication without introducing negative environmental dangers. Additionally, the camper would house teachers and lab assistants who would host public workshops for students across the nation. There are three cabins in the camper. two of which are the lab and materials storage, one of which is the professor’s and assistant professor’s accommodations.

In order to simulate the experience of being in a disorienting bamboo forest, the project is designed in the form of a cylider with repetitive patterns and curved walls. As it faces a mirror at the end of the corridor, the repetition of the partially illuminated pipes creates the illusion of infinity.

Marathon is a piece of furniture with many uses and personality. It looks into how the body functions while running. The concept was developed as a result of research into how to design a bed working station that would serve as a recall for its user of the demanding work they must complete as well as the value of having a resting station. The table serves as a surface for the laptop and its components when it is positioned horizantally. In that instance, the table appears to be running when it is moving, which necessitates an active cue. The laptop is perfectly balanced on the flat surface, allowing users to recline on the bed with their legs under the table in a comfortable position. On the other hand, if the users want to relax, they can set the table upright on the ground and use the vertical surface as a coffee table along with the nearby storage space where they can take a book to read. Additionally, the intricate joinery that holds the piece together while also providing lightness and flexibility allowed the character of the piece to be perfectly exhibited. The legs of the piece were joined using a stub tenon connection. In addition, a lapped machinecut dovetail joint was used to construct the piece’s body.

This project, which is situated in the center of Sharjah close to the Sharjah Art Foundation, provides a rest place for people touring the historic district. Consequently, for a completely private experience, it was made to nestle in between an existing L-shaped wall. Additionally, it features three various configurations of brick walls to rather enhance the region’s architectural heritage while adding a contemporary twist. Walking underneath the wooden roof that allows for shattered sun light to improve the ambiance is part of the experience inside these walls. At the conclusion of the trip, visitors can relax in peace by the water figure.

Kozue is a sushi restaurant in Dubai’s Merdif City Center Mall. Its rhythmic wooden structure, which mimics the motion of desert dunes, translates the merging of two cultures and aims to bring the renowned Japanese Chef Jiro’s dishes to the Middle East. The material selection also originates from Japanese forests, which stand tall in presence and bring traditional Japanese materials into play.
