The Haven
The Haven
The Haven is a proposed communal residential project located in the Fuheis area of Jordan. This project celebrates the region’s architectural typologies through the use of arches while respecting the site's topography with adaptive strategies and thoughtful prototype distributions. My role in this project included sketching concepts, designing the public spaces and buildings within the community courtyard, developing and designing several prototypes around the site (highlighted in red), 3D modeling and scripting using Rhino 3D and Grasshopper, and producing diagrams for the final presentation.
In this project, I developed several Grasshopper scripts that significantly improved the design and modeling process. One script was created to populate and distribute tree blocks across the site for rendering purposes. Additionally, I worked on scripts to recreate the topography in Grasshopper, ensuring that roads and building pads could be attached to the terrain.

Living Oasis
Living Oasis
Living Oasis, a project for the House of the Future competition, integrates Islamic architecture elements like mashrabiya, courtyards, and wind towers with modern, adaptable solutions. My work on this project included collaborating with my teammate on the concept development, creating diagrams, conducting environmental analysis using Ladybug, and 3D modeling parts with Rhino.
spaces can be easily transformed to accommodate various scenarios. This ensures that the building remains relevant and functional throughout changing seasons and phases of life. Adaptability
Designed to ignite children’s passion, this multifunctional room is where the kids can pursue their interests at the comfort of their home.
Adjacent to the grandparents’ room, an outdoor yard which serves as a tranquil retreat, connecting the residents with the calming influence of nature.
The family courtyard is a warm and inviting space, drawing inspiration from the courtyards found in islamic architecture, providing a cozy setting for the whole family to come together and create cherished memories.

Environmental
Analysis
The graphs show solar shading analysis: south-west walls get high sun exposure, so they are equipped with fewer openings and stone walls. North-east facades get less direct but still encounter significant sunlight throughout the year, so they have more openings equipped with louvers.
After studying the wind rose, the building was oriented longitudinally to optimize air circulation from the northwest.
Reminiscence
Reminiscence
In an era of rapid urbanization and cultural amnesia, preserving memory is crucial. This project connects the bustling city to a tranquil historic site, offering a transformative journey through thoughtfully designed spaces. It features contemplative areas, strategic viewpoints, and a reconnection with nature and the past, creating moments of reflection and new memories.

Reminiscence
The concept of memory is realized through three key aspects: storage, with contemplative spaces and a slow-paced experience; retrieval, through outdoor and indoor viewpoints; and creation, by reconnecting people with nature and historical remnants. These approaches honor memory's significance, offering spaces for reflection, triggering recollections, and fostering new memories by harmonizing individuals with their environment and history.

Wa’alia Environmental Park
Wa’alia Environmental Park
In this landscape project, I modeled phase 1 of the park including the site, the site furniture and the management building using Rhino. I also transferred components from Rhino to Revit for documentation and scheduling, and assisted with final sheets and details.
My work also included creating a script to analyze slopes, ensuring no area exceeds 25% to maintain usability and prevent instability.
For this project, I developed a custom script in Grasshopper to analyze the slopes of specific areas within the park, ensuring that no section exceeds 25%. In the script, I specified slope values in ranges, from 0-5%, 5-10%, and so on, up to 25% and beyond. Each range was assigned a distinct color gradient, allowing me to visually identify areas that required adjustment (25% or more, colored in black). This color-coding made it easy to pinpoint sections that needed to be manipulated to stay within the safe slope range, ensuring both accessibility and stability across the site.
Amman Integrated Park
Amman Integrated Park
The site which is located in Umm Al Kundum near Airport Road is an agricultural land used for planting crops, and domesticating animals. The proposal aims to preserve the existing impromptu functions while dealing with the elongated site and the steep topography.
In this proposal, the site was layered into three sections, bracing the site’s agricultural heritage and leveraging its unique characteristics.

RASU Site Development
RASU Site Development
The Rasu site, a vital link between Vilnius's old town and newer areas, is neglected due to undefined spaces and deteriorating buildings. The proposed design reimagines the site with courtyard-inspired structures, pathways, and a central square to revitalize movement while respecting the area's topography and visual connections to nearby forests and historical landmarks.

Project Location: Vilnius
Instructor: Edgar Neniškis
The slide highlights the visual connections between Vilnius's historic and modern areas, alongside the architectural significance of the existing buildings on the site. These elements guided the design, ensuring respect for the site’s heritage while fostering integration with the surrounding urban fabric. This approach was grounded in thorough research into the physical condition of buildings, urban morphology, spatial structure, block deformation, and the main periods of urban structure development—key concepts studied in the course. The resulting design preserves significant buildings and creates a cohesive link between the city’s historical and contemporary landscapes.

Lammeh
Lammeh
Lammeh, which means gathering in Arabic, is a contract furniture line inspired by the prevailing ethos of the Arab Majlis. It is made of fabric waste generated by ready-made garment factories in Jordan. My role in this project involved research, concept creation and development with the team, 3D modeling with Rhino 3D, rendering with Keyshot, and taking photographs showcasing textile samples. These samples were specifically developed as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional foam filaments in furniture production.

Lammeh
Sustainability was a central focus during the entire design process of Lammeh. The furniture line was crafted to optimize the utilization of various forms in which fabric waste can be processed. When upholstery needs updating, it can be effortlessly disassembled from the frame and repurposed as new stuffing.

AI Training: LoRa Model
Using Kohya_ss GUI, I trained an AI LoRa model for Stable Diffusion, focusing on white and black spaces with the chiaroscuro technique. This model is ideal for wide, abstract spaces and illustrations, enhancing spatial and conceptual visualizations.
Here are some examples showcasing the use of the LoRa model. The images were generated using Automatic 1111 on Stable Diffusion.
3D Printed Textures
My texture experiments using Grasshopper and 3D printing feature panels with different textures including fading openings, wavy lines, and protruding grids. These works explore the intersection of algorithmic design and materiality. Through this process, I investigated the tactile and visual qualities of digitally fabricated surfaces, that can be used in the design of architectural facades, interior spaces, or products.
3D Printing
Corals
"Corals" is a 3D printable versatile planter that draws inspiration from the beauty of coral reefs, while integrating a dual-function base. It features three compartments, Some of them are perforated, to mimic the porous structure of corals. The perforations not only resemble the beauty of coral reefs but also serve to provide essential air circulation for the plants.
