The project merges environmental design principles with architectural values to create a free-running low cost low profile co-working and living space in London. The architectural solution emerges as a synthesis of its urban context, local socioeconomic needs, and adaptive architectural strategies.
Environmentally-driven Design
An 1882 unlisted ottoman heritage, in Beirut, is refurbished into a multidisciplinary art space. Design focuses on daylighting solutions and ventilation in a dense urban situation while preserving the historical aspect of the house.

Gillett Square London, UK
The main objective focuses on achieving a zero carbon emission building, through passive strategies, supporting the design intentions with simulations. The approach is inhabitant centered, considering all the aspects of the square's activities throughout the day, characterising variations, and providing maximum adaptive opportunities. AA-SED Term 2 Project// Blue Awards Competition Type: Sustainable living and working Team: 4 people Date: 2016 (3 months)
Massing of the project takes into account solar access, natural ventilation and daylight availability in order to take advantage of the potential of the site. The new building causes minimum overshadowing to the surroundings and allows maximum solar gains onto its facade.

Shadow studies during winter solstice and equinox
A translucent polycarbonate shading device is adapted to different orientations. During summer, full opening of the windows allow high ventilation rates. Polycarbonate shading devices provide solar protection whenever needed, according to the orientation. During winter, fresh air can be provided through the upper windows without compromising the occupants’ comfort. The polycarbonate shutters, when closed, diffuse light in during the day and work as a night shutter to trap the internal heat in and delay its transfer with the cooler outdoor air. 6

During summer, the indoor temperature is quite variable but always inside the comfort band. The ventilation strategy relies on a highly perforated envelope with operable windows and top skylights that are seasonally opened.

During winter, internal gains maintain indoor temperature inside the comfort band. At night, night shutters are able to keep the heat generated during the day.

A sensitivity analysis was carried over the sizing of the openings. The latter were carefully dimensioned to ensure optimal daylighting and thermal performances. The defined geometry results from a developed grasshopper tool assessing the floor to ceiling height, window to floor ratio and depth of plan according to daylighting performances on the first hand. Then, validated values were run through thermal soft computations to be approved definitely.

The architectural image of the proposal is defined as a neutral framework where the interaction of the users with the envelope will determine how the building is perceived. On a winter day, the materiality of the facade merges with the environment, creating a subtle presence on the square. The scheme´s compactness emerges as a response to the external environment.

The Rose House Beirut, Lebanon
M.Arch- Dissertation project Type: Environmental Refurbishment of Cultural Heritage Individual work Date: 2017 (6 months)
1896
The Rose House's contemporary reality mirrors an increasingly widespread Lebanese phenomenon: being torn down to become yet another profitable lot in the city. The increase in the new urban context undermined the quality of daylight inside the house, especially in the central hall. The structure presents substantial possibilities for art production and artistic encounters. The approach explores the adaptation of the Rose house to the socio-cultural scene of the city by addressing the topic of cultural built heritage and its associated themes: light, time, space and memory. Design concept introduces new functions that take advantage of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thermal qualities while adapting the roof and the internal layout to enhance its daylighting performance.

Due to the position of the west inlet and east outet, west prevailing winds comes in the hall and gets diverted down the hall by the angled partitions. Air buoyancy allows hot air in the atrium to rise and goes out through the east oulet, creating a stack effect.

Right of Light, Hackney Planning London, UK
The study highlights the visual impact of No.25 Downham Road on the streetscape. The demolition of an existing low-rise building and erection of a six storey building raised concern over affecting light quality in the adjacent properties within the light well and rear of the site. The client, a resident in one of the affected buildings, wanted to quantify the reduction of light levels inside her flat. Freelance Work Type: Right of Light Assessment Daylight Studies Date: 2017 (1 week)
Analysis was performed on the bedroom facing the light well. Skyview factor and Daylight factor were chosen as parameters to assess and compare results of the existing situation and the accepted proposals and its amendments.

The approved proposal already blocks most of the sky dome visible from the analysed window. The new increased heights that surround the light well obstruct most of the sky. For a significant improvement, a reshaping of the scheme is needed.

The decrease of the sky visible from the window brings a notable reduction on the daylight levels in the room. The materials used for the new facade play a significant role, with brighter materials improving the daylight in the light well. Enlarging the windows of the affected rooms would also bring improved results, although frosted glass would be needed on the new scheme to ensure privacy.

Immersive Daylight Simulations- VR London, UK
Daylight Immersive Simulations were produced for the Sustainable Environmental Designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end of year exhibition at the Architectural Association (AA). Evelyn Grace Academy, Dulwich Picture Gallery and London City Hall were selected as reference buildings to create a dynamic experience for the visitors to help them understand better daylight in a reference space: its behavior, levels and qualities.
