Heriot-Watt University, Dubai Second-year final project was chosen to be a part of the end-of-year CMYK exhibition. Selected as one of the few projects showcased at a prestigious architecture exhibition, highlighting the project's quality and significance.
A Level Unit 2: The Eye Of the Beholder: Architecture My Street: This is a pencil tone study of a street in the Dubai Heritage Village. This is an image of an Arabic wind tower and is a huge part of the traditional Arabic architecture. I consider this as ‘My Street’ as it represents the culture and traditions of the country that I have grown up in. This was one of my first studies in this unit and I had really enjoyed using graphite pencils to capture all the details of this structure.
Some more studies of photographs of mosques and pictures from my trip to Georgia, I explored with more media such as ink and ball pens, white ink pens and oil paints to see which material works the best and produces the best results.
Ink Pen
Graphite Pencils
Continuing with some more experimentation, inspired by artist Minty Sainsbury, I started exploring with negative spaces as opposed to the intricate, detailed structure in the centre. I found graphite pencils and ink pens produced the best results as it was quite helpful in producing the minute details.
The final piece produced as a results of this experimentation and exploration. This was a piece inspired by various artists such as Malevich, Kandinsky, Minty Sainsbury and Kyle Henderson. Working with again graphite pencils and ink pens, the monotone structures along with the shards of colour and the negative spaces, allows the viewer to experience the piece in a unique way.
Architecture Year 1 projects:
The Artist’s House This residential project is for a family of three. The father ( a businessman), The mother (a professional painter), and their 5-year-old son. This structure is to serve as a house and studio for a mother. They wanted the studio to be the main focus of this project. The site was chosen as the artist would like the studio to be one with the beach, allowing her to create paintings inspired by the ocean and the same time have a natural and peaceful environment to do so.
The site: Kite Beach, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Celare – Capsule Hotel Misahat Lilqaylula The site for this project is in Deira, Dubai, UAE. The site has dimensions of 37.5 m x 40 m, and it overlooks the creek and the al seef side of Dubai. The site is located near a park and is opposite a Dubai Municipality building. It is on the street side of one of the main roads of the area and right in front is a bus stop. The project brief is to create a structure for people to come and take naps during their afternoon break. The building should consist of a cafe, a lounge area, men and female capsules for naps and toilets and a viewing deck. The main user groups to consider when designing this project are the daily wagers, tourists and office employees
