ATELIER
A glimpse of a structure from Jumeirah Road is a mystery that unveils itself to the visitor, offering the chance to stop, reflect and create an experience within. The building creates its own tale behind the structure. The exterior faรงades are created to isolate the building from its surrounding distractions however, it is still transparent within itself. Within the separation a new space is C

The exterior walls play a role in shading and surrounding the building with greenery to generate the natural cooling. The openings are created into account to bring in sunlight, in the west and south while shading on the north and east. The office consists of three levels, divided on the hierarchy of the multifunctional environments. This atelier is a place where art, creativity, imagination and function meets.

and our interaction in spaces. Hence, sound influences the organization and evolution of the architecture we occupy. Sound is visualized through a series of movements between the object itself and its surrounding. Building an underwater venture facility to capture the significance of historic trade of Dubai, as well as embrace the human experience and embodiment of space through the senses. By locating this facility in the fishing village of Dubai,
or at the diving village, signifies the historical context of the water industry. Focusing on studying sound in particular, to introduce a new experience in architecture by conducing a series of experiments that will allow the architecture to enhance the human experience in space. The experience in architecture is enhanced by the factor of water as, the human senses are A
