I joined Mostadahm A&P and started my work with a presentation of Schematic Design phase that was made before. This was followed by the Design Development phase where I had an important role at that stage. My colleagues and I have made changes on the plans that enhance the performance of the building. Designing the façade was the largest part of my effort, where I was keen of emphasizing the main
mass (entrance block) and the concepts we were thinking of at the earlier phases. With a harmonious mix of finishing materials I tried to reflect the spirit of modernity. We have also chosen a pattern and molds while designing the façade elements in different ways, size and materials, giving a sense of unity in the design.

Wooden Cladding
Thermal Analysis Spatial Operative Temprature Separate spaces’ temperatures were studied over the summer months (June, July and August). When comparing the initial case with the design case, it is noticed that on average the difference is 1 degree and it exceeds 3 degrees in some 5 spaces as seen in the indoor break area. Base Case

Daylighting Analysis
Daylighting was studied for the design case, first without adding shadding devices, in terms of daylighting autonomy, sDA.

Wind Catcher After determining the prevailing wind direction; a wind catcher was utilized to allow for as much cooling ventilation as possible to enter the building. The idea behind the wind catcher is to orient an opening towards the direction from which wind comes the most. Adding a wind catcher above the main hall entrance circulates the air through the corridor, allowing for a sense of fresh air in otherwise still spaces. Light Wells Due to the nature of having only one elevation in this project, it was important to provide natural illumination to spaces which are not directly on the elevation. A light well in our case is done by taking a small set-back at select rooms and building walls at the set back to act as the building’s envelope, highly reflective walls are then built at the original envelop location, thus reflecting sun rays into the building through the windows at the setback walls. Climate Controlled Atrium The employees’ zone is a large space for which conventional ventilation techniques would ot be enough, by adding what could be called a climate controlled atrium. On the contrary from the solar chimney, the atrium’s cover is made from a highly reflective material as to not cause negative pressure as in the solar chimney case. The atrium thus creates opportunities for ventilation in both the ground and first floor, and also allows for indirect natural illumination to enter the spaces, creating a pleasant indoor atmosphere. Solar Chimney An important aspect of good ventilation is allowing an outlet for air heated within the building by adding what is known as a solar chimney above the building’s main entrance, a solar chimney is done by placing a surface exposed to the sun to be heated by its rays, when the surface is heated it creates a field of negative pressure that acts as a section field for hot air to escape towards it and leave the building through the vents built at the chimney.

This project is very dear to me as it was the first work I did during my admission procedures to join Alhumaidhi Architects. My first responsibility was to read the irregualr plans very well and do modeling for the building. After joining the office, my first task was drawing and creating the toilets working drawings. It was a great experience to start working on the working and construction docu-
ments with such irregualr plans. I feel lucky to get in touch with such staff Alhumaidhi Architects have. I think in a short time I learnt a lot from my seniors and the Principal Architect.

When I started working on Reborn house project; it was just starting the design development phase, and this has allowed me -under the supervision of a senior architect- to develop the eastern facade overlooking the Arabian Gulf. I also went into a new experience with a perforated wall when I was asked to design the wall of the semi-closed garden attached at the western elevation.
“Reborn House... western elevation contains deep cuts angled for maximum privacy without compromising on natural light. Alhumaidhi Architects
