RUMINATION GALLERY & RETREAT
SITUATED WITHIN MERCHISTON PARK ALONG EDINBURGH’S UNION CANAL, MY PROJECT IS A COMBINATION OF AN ART GALLERY [LVL -2], AND A RETREAT SPACE, WITH PRIVATE ROOMS FOR OVERNIGHT STAYS [LVL -1] AND MEDITATION ROOMS [LVLS -3 & -4].
THE COMPLEX IS MEANT TO SERVE AS A SPACE OF TRANQUILLITY AWAY FROM THE BUSY URBAN HUB SURROUNDING—A REFUGE FOR PEOPLE TO SELFREFLECT, TO RUMINATE VIA ART, VIA SOCIAL, OR INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY.
TO EMBODY THIS SACRED TRANQUILLITY I LOOK TOWARDS THE NATURAL—PARTICULARLY TOWARDS LIGHT AND WATER. NOT WANTING TO DISTURB THE SERENE PARK, I DECIDED TO BUILD UNDERGROUND. WATER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SACRED ELEMENT, A TRANSITIONAL THRESHOLD, AND SO I PULLED THE CANAL INTO THE PARK, CREATING A GLAZED WATERCHANNEL SKYLIGHT ABOVE MY CIRCULATION, BOTH WATERWAY AND PATHWAY SPIRALLING DOWN AROUND THE CENTRAL COURTYARD.
EACH LEVEL IS DIVIDED INTO 4 ZONES OF OCTAGONAL ROOMS. IN THE GALLERY [-2], EACH ZONE IS DEDICATED TO EXPERIENCING THE ARTWORK THROUGH ONE OF 4 CORE BODILY MOVEMENTS: WALKING, STANDING, SITTING DOWN, AND LYING DOWN. IN THE RETREAT [-3&-4], EACH ZONE IS DEDICATED TO ONE OF 4 CONTRASTING SENSORY THEMES: LIGHT VS DARK, AND SOUND VS SILENCE.

MARITIME GALLERY
INSPIRED BY THE SITE’S PROXIMITY TO THE SEA, AND THE EFFECTS OF SAID PROXIMITY, I AIMED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE CONCEPT OF WEATHERING.
ALONGSIDE BEING HOSTS TO A LOCAL MARKET, MY STRUCTURES PRIMARILY FUNCTION AS ART EXHIBITS, WITH ADVENTUROUS ROUTES, AND ARTWORK DISPLAYED BOTH INDOORS AND OUT. THOSE OUTDOORS WILL BE ENCASED WITHIN BLOCKS OF MATERIAL THAT, COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO THE NATURAL ELEMENTS, WEATHER AWAY TO SLOWLY EXPOSE THE ARTWORK EMBEDDED WITHIN.
WITH THIS, NATURE TAKES ON THE ROLE OF SCULPTOR ALONGSIDE THE EXHIBITION’S HUMAN ARTISTRY.

AIN MREISSI 125 — ENTRANCE DESIGN
A 32-FLOOR TWO-BLOCK RESIDENTIAL TOWER. IT IS QUITE A LUXURIOUS BUILDING, AND THE ENTRANCE WITH ITS VAST DOUBLE VOLUME HEIGHT REFLECTS THE SCALE OF THE PROJECT.
I VISITED THE SITE DURING VARIOUS STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION, FROM THE CONCRETE WORKS AND HARDSCAPING TO THE FINAL LANDSCAPING.
GF Plan by A.D.&D.
I PARTICIPATED IN DESIGN MEETINGS FOR THE TOWER’S ENTRANCE, CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISCUSSIONS AND IDEAS, AND WORKED ON THE DESIGN PROCESS.
[WORK EXPERIENCE]
ENTRANCE DESIGN
THERE IS A CONTINUOUS MOTIF OF STRIPED GEOMETRY LEADING BOTH THE LINE OF SIGHT AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE RESIDENTS TOWARDS AND WITHIN THE ENTRANCES.
THIS STARTS WITH THE PERGOLA OUTSIDE, AND CONTINUES INTO THE ENTRANCE WITH HORIZONTAL STRIPS OF WOOD ON ITS CEILING,— THEN, EVOLVING INTO VERTICAL STRIPS OF MARBLE, ALMOST LIKE STALACTITES. THEY ARE LIT UP, BECOMING A SCULPTURAL CHANDELIER.
EACH STRIP VARIES IN LENGTH, CREATING AN ALGORITHMIC WAVE THAT INTERACTS WITH THE VIEWER’S MOVEMENT, OFFERING DIFFERENT VIEWS ALONG DIFFERENT ANGLES OF SIGHT.
THE CHANDELIERS CONTINUE ACROSS THE CEILING AND THEN CLIMB DOWN THE WALL OVERHEAD, TURNING HORIZONTAL, STARING DIRECTLY BACK TOWARDS THE CENTRAL DOORS.
THE FLOOR SUPPORTS THE MOMENTUM OF THIS GEOMETRIC MOTIF, WITH MARBLE SQUARES DOTTING ITS PLANE WHEREVER A CHANDELIER DROPS DOWN FROM ABOVE, DIRECTLY REFLECTING IT, AS IF ITS SHADOW.

ENTRANCE DESIGN
THE CEILING’S FLOWING DESIGN LEADS THE VISITOR’S LINE OF SITE TOWARDS THE OLIVE TREE FRAMED WITHIN THE BACK GARDEN, HONOURING THE TREE’S ELEGANCE AND BEAUTY.
IT IS FORMED OF A SOFTLY UNDULATING WAVE, AN ORGANIC FEATURE TO CONTRAST THE SHARP GEOMETRIES OF THE ENTRANCE’S STRUCTURE.
THE SCULPTED ROOF LEADING ACROSS THE ENTRANCE CREATES A CLEAR PATHWAY, PAVING THE WAY FOR THE NATURE AT THE BUILDING’S FRONT TO COME, SWEEP IN—CONNECTING THE FRONT AND BACK GARDENS WITH AN ORGANIC TUNNEL.
VERTICAL STRIPS OF WOOD HANG DOWN, LIT UP. WITH THE DIRECTIONALITY UNDULATING SEQUENCE, THEY, TOO, HELP DIRECT THE LINE OF SIGHT TOWARDS THE OLIVE TREE.

Jump despite the lack of space to move, take a leap of faith, dive into the waters, and suddenly— A whole new, endless path is revealed. The water was, is, in itself a path, with endless opportunity and endless possibility. Swim any which way in any dimension, explore and yes find light and then the exit, An exit— swim up, upwards, up into the light and surface into its brilliance. We are met with a chamber of sunshine streaming from above, above against a high, high wall. Close ahead steps beckon us forth—swim to them, lift yourself up, climb them, one step another, and we are at a height now where we can see: there’s a vast expanse, an open sky and an open sea. One step down and we’re on a boat, its sails set and blowing— Off we go.
