Petrol Station Canopy Design Concept Design Proposal

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Al-Kheesa Petrol and Services Station is an existing service facility located north of Doha, near the express way and amongst major shopping hubs: Doha Festival City Mall and North Gate Mall. It is owned by Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting W.L.L. and is undergoing series of rehabilitation works that include demolition and new construction works. Whilst the site design, shops, mosque and canopy design was conducted by an appointed consultant, an alternative concept design for the canopy was required to be provided by client representative (ASTAD). The alternative proposal is to follow all site arrangement provided by the original consultant. The concept was initially inspired by the surrounding shops which have curved projections (cornice). Thus, cylindrical columns with top-curved palm-like capitals were designed to match the existing contextual surroundings. As a contrast to the existing rigid structure, a flowing and organic lighting pattern was designed to add vitality to the station that is intended to be a live facility serving the busy area. The task was fully under my responsibility, and got conducted individually using BIM software: ArchiCAD. After further design development, the finalized renderings were created by ASTAD’s 3D Visualizer.

Petrol Station Canopy Design Proposal The initial concept included overlapping L-shaped roofs supported by columns creating a dynamic form with gap in between. However, to maintain safety of the cars and petrol pumps against sunlight and rain, the concept was further modified to completely cover the area under the canopy. Diagrams on the right show the evolution of the concept. Axonometric diagram of initial concept

Alternative solution included circular roof overlapping with an L-shaped roof

Selected canopy form includes square and L-shapes that ensure maximum coverage

Lastly, the lighting system was amended to include strip lights and recessed LED down lights as considered sufficient and can distribute light coverage efficiently.

Typical Bathroom Renovation Proposal

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Various properties under Al-Badiya Portfolio require extensive renovation especially for wet areas such as toilets, bathrooms and kitchens. The renovation scope of work included demolition of entire wet areas features and fit-out the spaces with up-to-date materials and sanitary ware. Therefore, a concept design for a typical bathroom was developed based on sizes and measurement of a standard layout in one of the properties. PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION

Office Fit-Out Project Completed

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Al-Badiya Trading & Contracting Co. the owner of Al-Mashreq Bank Building, was expanding their offices, and had embarked on the refurbishment of an existing office at Al-Mashreq Bank Building. The work site is an existing office space with existing partitions, raised-flooring system, doors, false ceiling, mechanical, electrical and fire alarm system. The office area is 345 m2. Being the lead champion for this project, I was responsible for every detail regarding the fit-out, coordinating with multidisciplinary engineers. The scope of work included dismantling all existing features, maintaining raised floor system, fire alarm system, and keeping the existing doors for reinstallation. Therefore, the new office was to be provided with single-glazed and gypsum partitions, gypsum ceiling and aluminium clipped-in ceiling system, new 90-minutes-fire-rated main door, and new LED lights.

Al-Sadd Building Lobby Renovation Completed

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Al-Sadd building is an existing residential property located in Al-Sadd area and is owned by AlBadiya Trading and Contracting. The building is planned to undergo major renovation for its apartments and common areas. Renovation of the main entrance lobby took place as a kick-off for the fit-out and renovation process of the entire building. My responsibility for the project is concluded in initiating the scope of work, providing detailed drawings and renders, materials selections, site inspection and approvals. The scope of work included demolition/removal of existing features such as the built-in reception desk, false ceiling, air conditioning system, floor tiling, doors, lighting, and decorative GRC elements at the façade. The appointed contractor was required to supply and install replacements of all removed items as specified in the RFP documents, except for the reception desk, which was awarded to another contractor. More details about reception desk will be further explained at a later section in this portfolio. As a beautification of the place, the contractor’s scope of work included the supply and installation of additional items that did not exist earlier. Such items include limestone exterior wall cladding, external planter boxes, wooden architraves and marble border line for the entrance.

Typical Apartments’ Renovation Proposal Based on Al-Sadd Building

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Al-Sadd Apartments is a multistory residential building with 70 apartment units (10 units per floor), and is owned by Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting. The property requires plenty of up-gradation works pertaining to mainly the interiors and corresponding MEP services for all the flats. As Al-Badiya has embarked on series of up-gradation works for its residential properties. A concept study was created using Al-Sadd building as a mock-up, and the rest of the properties shall follow the same concept, subject to client’s approval. The concept study included increasing the sizes of some flats, converting three apartment units from two-bedroom apartment units to three-bedroom apartment units, which reduce the total flat numbers to 8 flats per floor. The proposed scope of work comprised of dismantling and scraping existing features, supply and installation of wooden doors, architraves, cabinets, wall cladding work, tiling and false ceiling works, fixed furniture, kitchen cabinets, sanitary ware and other joinery and ironmongery works. Furniture is to be awarded to a supplier other than main contractor.

My contribution in the project included production of as built drawings, providing drawings for alternative layout of 3-Bedroom apartment, developing scope of work, material selection, furniture selection and contacting suppliers. Furniture has been carefully custom designed and selected to fit the tight apartments in a spacious manner and yet fulfilling space requirements. Furniture custom design, fabrication, quantities and pricing were negotiated with the renowned Al Dhow Group.

An alternative concept for the living areas included porcelain tiling that simulates parquet planks (29.5 x 120 cm). Also, the alternative included a proposal for full bulkhead gypsum ceiling as shown on the right. However, the white concept with higher ceiling option has been taken further into the concept analysis.

Grand Hamad Building Enhancements Proposal

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Grand Hamad or Al-Mashreq Bank Building, is a property located at Grand Hamad Street, among series of banks. It is a commercial building comprised of 8 floors, hosting Al-Mashreq Bank at the ground and mezzanine floors, and Al-Badiya office (the owner of the property) at the 6th floor. The client required partial renovation for the common areas. The proposed scope of work for the lobbies included rectifying and polishing existing stone tiles, repainting works and provision of new gypsum ceiling, lighting, furniture for the waiting area and access control system. Also, it was proposed to protect the exterior of the building with metal bollards as the sidewalk separating the building from the road is very narrow. For other internal AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION common areas, a major refurbishment for PRODUCED toiletsBYand pantries was specified in details in the RFP and as shown in the renders. My responsibility in this project is summarized in site surveying, providing scope of work, develop CAD drawings of the proposals, material selection and contacting vendors suppliers.

Souq Saud Exterior & Interior Enhancement Proposal

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Doha, Qatar

Souq Saud is an existing gold shop, located at Al Souq area nearby Souq Waqif—a very popular series of traditional shops in Doha city. Souq Saud is owned by Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting, and is in need of refurbishment internally and externally. A few touch ups that can enhance the atmosphere and the looks of the building were proposed, as seen below. The interior of The Souq is disturbed by inconsistent store signage boards and electrical cable trays floating randomly below ceiling. The cost of re-routing cable trays and pulling it up was beyond client’s budget. Thus it was proposed to build new gypsum false ceiling to cover the trays. Also, new lighting and unified internal signage (unified plate size and font) was proposed to enhance the ambience of the building.

Souq Sad Exterior and Interior Enhancement The exterior of the building is featured by stone cladded arcades and colonnades, as well as shops sign boards that are inconsistent in size and shapes.

It was proposed to polish the existing stone cladding and replace the damaged ones with new tiles, as well as the removal of all existing signages to have a unified-size sign boards (to be agreed with the tenants). Photo Legend A: Photo of The Souq main entrance B:

To maintain safety of the visitors and to enhance the aesthetics inside the staircases, a custom made cabinets that cover the existing panels are proposed to be constructed.

Also, the existing fire hose reels are exposed to the public without proper covering. Thus it was recommended to be covered as seen below. Photo Legend: A: Photo of exposed electrical panels B:

In view of its professional vision, Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting is keenly aware of the need to upgrade and refurbish the existing built environment in all buildings. A list of properties are required to be equipped with new reception desks, which will also serve as security personnel desks. I was assigned the task of developing the concept design, producing drawings, contact reputable suppliers and carpenters, select and approve the materials that adhere to the best furniture production practices, approve shop drawings and inspect the desks assembly on site.

Office Workstations Completed

Doha, Qatar

Office workstations was a complementary task to the design of Al-Badiya Office Fit-Out Project mentioned earlier in this portfolio. Meanwhile designing the office layout, I was responsible for designing the workstations at the open area offices, considering the given program relating to the number of BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION employeesPRODUCED to accommodate. The closed offices were to be furnished with standard managers and staff desks available at showrooms. The task included producing CAD drawings for the custom-made furniture, create bill of quantities, contacting furniture suppliers, review quotations, approve shop drawings and inspect assembly on site.

A plan to expand the capacity at the existing Al-Badiya office was negotiated between the managers of ASTAD and Al-Badiya officials in order to accommodate more of ASTAD’s staff at the client’s office. Thus, I was assigned the task of developing furniture layout at the existing Al-Badiya office (Al-Badiya office No. 1), adjacent to the newly fitted-out Al-Badiya office (Al-Badiya office No. 2). The plan was to convert the middle circulation area to an open office for ASTAD staff as shown in the design below.

The design solution provided accommodates 6 people and is similar to the one applied for the new office. However, since the furniture is to be located at the center of the office area, the attached workstations were designed to have a circulation space in between, and to be surrounded by custom-made filing cabinets and fabric partitions to provide a sense of privacy.

Doha, Qatar PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION

Back to Al-Badiya new office (office No. 2), the HR department was required to accommodate 5 employees in a shared office.

PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION

ASTAD Consult | Al-Badiya Trading and Contracting

Similarly, workstations were designed to be custom-made by the awarded furniture supplier. The concept is identical to the one applied for the center area at office no. 1 but without the U-shaped partition and filing cabinets, and having one workstation of 2 desks attached and one workstation of 3 desks PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION attached. The idea behind having the drawer/ shelving unit amid the workstations instead of the sides is to create a barrier for each employee’s personal space. Also, as the size is doubled to accommodate employees storage at both sides, the top of the drawer unit can be treated as a meeting table between the two adjacent employees where they can spread their sheets and discuss work together.
