1 Office Complex
Brief
In-Between is an office complex lies in central Milan, near the central station. I was member of 9-member group and my task was oriented to the energy performance of building, from the very first stages of the massing, glazing and shading till the technical detailing of the building.

Design Optioneering
Optioneering is a process of balancing by proposing and comparing different options to select the most optimized option in terms of energy performance, daylight, cost, embodied carbon, ..etc.
A. Mass
A fixed volum of 38000 m3 is decided from the Arch. program, then different mass options are assessed in Climate Studio in terms of EUI (the % relates all cases to the most compact mass)
A. Compact S/V = 0.25
B. Tower S/V = 0.21
C. Comb. S/V = 0.30
0.27
D. Final Mass S/V =
B. Glazing
WWR of each facade as well as glazing properties of U-value and SHGC influence the EUI. The trend for each of those values are the outputs of simulation done on a hypothetical mass of 20x20m to determine the trent of each face:
Hypothetical Mass
After studying the trend, the acutal glazing properties and facade ratios are defined as following according to the most optimized solutions::
1- Double-Glazing: Starphire - Solarban 72 U-val (W/m2.k) = 1.21 SHGC = 0.31
2- Triple-Glazing: Solarban 60 - Solarban 60 - Clear U-val (W/m2.k) = 0.59 SHGC = 0.31
C. Shading
Rotation Angles of the louvers were studied to check its impact on EUI, sDA (Daylight), and ASE (Indicator of possible glare)
Rotation Angles impacts EUI, sDA, and ASE differently for each facade, therefore, the rotation angles range for each facade is different according the most optimized range.
HVAC Study
A primary air system was chosen according the analyzed thermal loads in each floor.

Comfort Assesment
Following Adaptive Thermal Model of ASHRAE Standard 55-2020, a particular day of August was chosen to assess the hours inside and outside the comfort zone according to a temp. set point of 27°
Energy Documentation
The energy optimization process can be summarized in the following strategies:
Starting from baseline of our building based on similar typical office buildings, then using Climate Studio for energy simulation, the reductions can be presented:
2 ZEP PILOT HOUSE
Brief
ZEP pilot house is an energy efficient building model in Northern-Europe. The report is a case study of energy optimization process of the building starting from the envelope technologies, passive solutions for heating and cooling, and active strategies. I was member of 6-member group and my task was mainly to analyze the raw data of energy simulation results, as well as conducting the energy simulation of heat exchange devices (Ground to Air, Water to Air).
Project Data Software Used
Date: June 2023
Type: Energy Optimization Report
Client: MSc. Project

Energy Model
The energy model was made in Transys plugin in Sketchup. The most critical zone was determined by evaluating the one with highest risk of discomfort.
Sensitivity Analysis
By optioneering different solutions of each optimization step, a matrix of simulations were done through Transys to each the maximum comfort by minimum energy demand.
3 San Benedetto del-Torno Station
Brief
On a land of 26,000 square meters, lies the historical railway station of San Benedetto del-Torno in Italy. The renovation project covered all parts of the station including the travellers’ building FV, the platforms, the canopies, the underground passages, the external piazza, and all utilities and technical fixtures. My Task was specifically to transform all DWGs into a complete BIM model, LOD D.

4 Hotel Le Ginestre
Brief
On a land of 16,000 square meters, a luxurios 5-star hotel is designed in Sardegna, Italy. I participated with two of my colleagues to transform all conceptual architectural drawings into construction working drawings including plans, sections, elevations, ceilings, detail design, doors and windows.

5 El-Khaleq Mosque
Brief
This project is unique as my contribution was not only the design proporsals or working drawings, but also I was commissioned to follow and supervise the execution process to ensure the brickworks comply with the design proposed.
Project Data
Date: Jan 2021
Type: Design development, working drawings, and execution supervision
Client: Shedwan
Software Used
Design Development
I was hired to develop some exact parts of the mosque mass such as the entrance mass, the Mehrab mass, as well as deliver working drawings for all brick works of the project.
Working Drawings and Site Execution
The uniqness of this project is that I had the opportunity to supervise the construction process at the same time I am delivering the working drawings in AutoCad or Revit. In the image, I stand with the site engineer Ahmed Omar and the talanted builder Haggag.
Working Drawings and Site Execution
Here all working drawings correspond to images of the actual implementation on site.

6 Restoration of Gourna
Brief
Gorna in Luxor, Egypt is the masterpiece of Hassan Fathy’s architecture. However, UNISCO financed its restoration project in order to restore its bright face again. I was commissioned by Eng. Tantawy to finalize the working drawings of the restoration project.

7 Cultural Center
Brief
The building was just a RC skeleton and, with corporation with other colleague, we transformed it into a youth center with a dynamic facade representing the activness of the youth in a way.

8 Areej Compound
Brief
Areej is a residential compound lies in New Mansoura, Egypt. It consists of 3 typologies of blocks; A,B and C. The architectural plans of the typologies were done by other collegues in Connect whereas my task was the facades design and 3D visualization of the entire compound.
Project Data Software Used
Date: Oct 2019
Type: Residential Compound
Client: Connect Consultant Office
Email: Aya@connectarch.com
Typologies A,B, and C
All typologies share the same facade identity, in each cluster lies Type B and C, whereas Typce A lies on the northern part of the compound.
1. Entrance
2. Public Space
3. Cluster 1
4. Social Club
5. Cluster 2
6. Cluster 3
Typologies A,B, and C
Despite the difference in their architectural plans, I had to unify the design units of the facades for all typologies to maintain the visual identity of the whole copmound.
9 Rajab Mosque
Brief
The mosque lies in Sheikh Zayed City, Egypt. I was commissioned to design the mosque from scratch till the 3D visualization of the mass. The challenge was the site orientation as it was not aligned with the Qibla direction, that’s why the masses ere shifted.
