DESCRIPTION

ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

ORIGAMI LOOP draws inspiration from the ancient Japanese paper folding craft and takes the form of a sculptural intervention on Dilmunia Island. Modern and contemporary architecture, tightly linked to its context, reflects the new image of this iconic venue in Bahrain. The form resembles a single sheet of paper folded multiple times to create a structure that is both functional and decorative, allowing for a climate responsive design that echoes the wellness concept of the development.

DESCRIPTION Emaar commissioned an international design competition to provide a uniquely striking identity to the corner plot of a very large township of 220 Acres which is already underway right off Amar Shaheed Path at the Gomti Bridge Junction. The new design will include upmarket F&B, shopping & an entertainment destination at the retail podium levels with an exclusive office tower anchorage.

COMPETITION

DESCRIPTION

The circulation has been carefully planned to segregate the high volume traffic drop-offs for the retail, offices and hypermarket at the rear or the site. This Landmark Commercial Project in Lucknow provides a stunning architectural language using the juxtapositions of volumes to create a fragmented façade and hence breaking up the the towering volume of the glass structure. The breaks in the building mass allow green terraces and sky courtyards for the offices and aims to achieve a minimum 4-star Green Building rating.

DESCRIPTION

ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

The brief was to develop a design for a prestigious residential beach plot of Yas Island, close to the international Yas Marina Motorsport Circuit. The project site consists of two plots C2 and C3. located at the western tip of the Yas south development. Both plots face the beach on its North and access on the south. The idea was to combine the 2 adjacent plots to develop the podium as a continuous smooth sweep, atop which are perched two tapering towers resembling the wings of a falcon. All units either get beach, garden or pool views. The central portion of the continuous podium forms the entrance canopy along with the infinity edge pool which peeks out from above.

DESCRIPTION

The brief required the new design to provide an entirely new and fresh feel to 3 key areas. The exterior facade, the underutilized function hall and multipurpose exhibition space, the roof. A proposal was developed to convert the large function space as premium double height retail stores to liven the dead atrium space. Since the mall boasts a direct riverfront promenade, a raw warehouse style was used to tie the disconnected space back to its roots. The atrium and retail space was linked to the upper levels by a new grand staircase on one end and existing escalators at the other end.

DESCRIPTION

An existing waffle slab ceiling spanning the function hall made the atrium dull. The new design proposed a false skylight battened ceiling to mimic daylight, providing the atrium with an outdoor, lively quality. The double height retail was designed as thin matte black steel frame with full height glazing.

DESCRIPTION

The brief was to create an office space for a creative media agency which can be both fun and serious. These two sides can be clearly seen and experienced in the design which is a play on intersecting lines to create different spaces within the large open office space. Client had leased an empty office space in Jumeirah and provided an extremely tight deadline of 15 days to transform the space for design and fitout. Keeping this time constraint in mind, no modifcations were made to existing partitions, ceilings or flooring. The space was only refurbished and all furniture was store bought.
