THE WEEKEND RESIDENCE
The project aims to create a sustainable small residence in the mountains of Fatqa, Mount Lebanon, serving as both a place for rest and a functional workspace. Designed to maximize sun exposure and minimize energy consumption, the residence features sunshade wooden louvres and uses low-cost, locally produced materials like concrete and brick. The inclined roof is designed to handle winter snowfall, ensuring durability and practicality in the mountain climate. The project blends sustainability with functionality, offering a serene and efficient living and working space.

BOURJ HAMMOUD ‘NEW SPIRIT’
Bourj Hammoud New Spirit aims to foster community and social sustainability in Bourj Hammoud with affordable, sustainable design. The project includes zero energy buildings with water collection and solar panels, a central plaza for ventilation, and greenery to reduce urban heat. It promotes urban farming and a shared roof to enhance diversity and inclusivity. Local businesses on the ground floor will boost income. The use of eco-friendly materials like hollow core concrete slabs and steel piping is emphasized, along with wooden beams for roof shading. Shading devices such as fixed louvres and sliding shutters will be on the west and east faces, reflecting the diverse character of Bourj Hammoud.

AGING IN PLACE
Ageing is often negatively perceived, leading to discrimination and exclusion of the elderly, a problem worsened by the pandemic. To combat this, there is a need for empowerment, awareness, and intergenerational facilities.
In Byblos, Lebanon, demographic shifts have led to loneliness among the elderly due to a lack of community spaces. Recognizing this vulnerability (RESILIENT BYBLOS – GOAL A), the municipality is supporting a project to empower the elderly. This project focuses on physical and mental activities, including health exercises and intergenerational bonding. The Hub aims to create an age-friendly environment that promotes healthy ageing, learning, relationships, and societal contributions.

TURRINEX PROJECT 04
The project is part of an innovative urban university campus affiliated with ETH Zurich. Named Turris Nex, the complex consists of a research center tower and a culture hub located in the northern part of ETH Campus Hönggerberg. The unique sloped terrain of the site necessitates an underground volume connecting the two buildings, with a terrace on top. The main concept focuses on connecting the interior and exterior, achieved by shifting floor plates from the building›s structure, creating cantilevers for outdoor spaces like balconies and terraces.
The prominent location of the portal will make it a visible and high-profile element in the urban landscape, offering generous views of the surrounding landscape and historic city. The project aims to become a gathering location, connecting the Honggenberg and Affoltern districts.

HORIZON PROJECT 05
Horizon , located at TU/e Eindhoven, is composed of two main parts: an Innovation Center and an Innovation Hub. The Innovation Center is designed for laboratories and companies, facilitating collaboration and research in a dedicated space. The Innovation Hub, on the other hand, is more closely connected to the university and is tailored for student use, fostering a dynamic environment where academic and industry interactions thrive. The design features a central bridge spanning the Dommel Valley and expansive atriums that enhance connectivity among users, encouraging knowledge exchange and cross-disciplinary innovation. The overhang serves as a central gathering point where the community converges to learn and innovate, merging academic and industrial pursuits into a new era of possibilities.

AMINE MOUNTAIN HOUSEAKOURA | LEBANON
The renovation of a traditional Lebanese house in Mount Lebanon, completed in 2022, posed a unique challenge due to its division among three family members across two floors. The deteriorated condition required the deconstruction of the roof and first floor, with the absence of internal stairs initially addressed by an external connection. Preserving the traditional elements, such as arches and cladding, was a key focus, honoring the intrinsic value of the house. The design concept aimed at creating distinct and functional spaces on each floor, allowing for independence while contributing to the overall harmony of the renovated structure.

UMM ALSHEIF - DUBAI | UAE
While working at EMH in collaboration with Dori Hitti Architecture, I was involved in the development of interior construction drawings for a high-end luxury villa in Dubai. My role primarily focused on producing detailed technical drawings that translated the design vision into precise, buildable plans. I worked closely with the team to ensure that all construction details aligned with the project›s sophisticated aesthetic and functional requirements. This experience allowed me to refine my technical drafting skills and gain deeper insights into luxury interior design execution.
