I had the privilege to select an actor, and my choice is Burak Deniz, a renowned Turkish actor who embodies a lifestyle set in a modern country environment, where his affection for a horse plays a significant role.

Situated in the renowned city of Dubai, this place stands as a sought-after destination. It revolves around five prominent sports venues and encompasses several sports academies.

The idea has derived from the pony wave the frame motion of the horse that indicates the form of the curves and waves.

The architectural design of this place was envisioned to form an imaginary line, creating waves that resemble a horse. The overall concept blends elements of rustic antiquity with a contemporary twist, showcasing minimalist features throughout the space.

Emphasizing the traditional elements of boats and fishing nets, the cave’s distinctive structure, characterized by the interplay of lights facilitated by the dome and sedimentary rocks, adorned with layers of colors, serves as the conceptual basis. The restaurant integrates a bar area that accentuates the cave’s allure and incorporates boat motifs to accent the buffet presentation.

Saveiro is the portuguese word to designate small boats with different shapes, but all 100% built in wood. The most ancient and original ones have even wooden nails. Among the fishermen the Saveiro is also known as lancha .

Ataraxia

Suure-Jaani Health Centre

Area- 3120m2 located on the former site of the fire brigade clubhouse next to the central square in small rural town SuureJaani, Estonia. The complex consists of new built units adjoining the historical tower of the fire station.

The concept revolved around Buddhism, with the spa drawing inspiration from Buddhist culture. The meditation room prominently features a statue of Gautama Buddha, enhancing the focus on spirituality and purposeful meditation. This portrayal signifies the convergence of body and soul in the presence of elemental sources like fire and water.

The material board comprises sustainable and minimalist elements that reflect the local weather conditions, achieved through a blend of steel and wood. Additionally, a sustainable material, jute, has been incorporated into the design.

The design aimed to incorporate Buddhist symbols and layouts that honored their spiritual mode of worship while seamlessly integrating these meaningful elements into the spa's ambiance. The imagery was carefully crafted to seamlessly fuse into the design's existing framework, harmonizing and coalescing with the shape-oriented features that define the design's structure. The principle of "Form Follows Function" played a pivotal role in ensuring that the design elements were proportionate, resulting in a purposeful and significant layout that naturally complements the living space.

This embodies the culture and heritage of Santorini, a Roman Catholic community, where the focal point includes architectural gems such as churches and musical expressions like the traditional Bouzouki and Lyre. These instruments hold common ground within their customs. Additionally, during festivals and carnival dances, they adorn masks. The scene is complemented by the iconic beaches and the prevalent use of olives as ingredients. Olive trees thrive on the Aegean island of Santorini, deeply intertwined with the local way of life.

Design

Located in the heart of Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai’s integrated technology free zone, Dtec is at the epicenter of entrepreneurship and innovation in the UAE.

The idea drew inspiration from the Moroccan bath, with a primary objective of creating spaces conducive to relaxation and enjoyment. Natural light traverses the house from sunrise to sunset, passing through the east to west direction. To align with this, the design incorporates glass facades within both the structure and the conceptual framework.

The bath experience mirrors that of a hammam spa, where the central objective revolves around relaxation and body care through steam and warm baths. During this process, a special blend of ingredients, including black soap and natural herbs, is used. These components work together to cleanse the body and promote skin softening, enhancing the overall experience.
