The site is located in Provence, South of France. It has been a 9 holes golf course for years. The surrounding nature makes it a heaven of peace, where one can experience true calm. Our goal is to create an eco-sustainable place that gives our guests the opportunity to connect with their deeper selves, and with their deeper selves, and with nature. we believe we can achieve our mission by creating spaces that combine architecture, landscape design, and nature into holistic, authentic experiences

Concept design : 1- An architectural project that blends hospitality outdoor and residential, an ideal place, capable to express the dialogue between indoor and outdoor space in the purest form.

2-designed as a diffused architectural project, it follows the nature slope and features structural solution that visually erase the boundaries between indoors and outdoors in both public and private space, blending in seamlessly with its natural surrounding.

3-Characterised by pure volume that play with the basic geometric shape. The ideal setting in which to present the contextual in Florence.

Karin Dorm Foundation, aims to create a new building that has a sense of comfort warmth and security, this is a place where children, parents and professional feel welcome, and are able to have fun, create, and learn. In this concept we aim to develop a new typology of school that combines architectural design and landscape into a learning environment that support both children and family development

the new building : 1-defines a clear, effective and compact building volume in order to preserve the maximum amount of the natural bio diversity and to assure cost efficiency and sustainability.

2- Transforms the circulation areas into communication spaces for interaction between teachers, students and parents, with lots of natural light and opportunities to sit, lay, rest, discuss and learn together.

3-A clear entrance through a platform that can be used as spatial network a meeting point where children learn to socialize, increase communication skills and exchange knowledge.

4-encourage outdoor activities by preserving many of the existing trees that can be used as learning classes and play time can often take place outside.

BEIROUT PORT FINAL YEAR PROJECT

LOCATION

Beirout, Lebanon.

A PROPOSAL FOR RECONTRUCTING THE PORT OF BEIROUTH FOLLOWING THE EXPLOSION OF AUGUST 4TH, COMPLETED AS PART OF MY BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE AT HOLY SPIRIT OF KASLIK. IN THE CREATION OF BEIROUT PORT ALL AREAS SOURRING WERE ISOLATED FROM THE SEA. THE REALTION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SEA WAS LOST BECASUE OF THE HIGHTWAY..

IN MY PROJECT I WORKED ON 2 AXES CONNECTED TO THE LAND CREATING A PUBLIC AREA OPENED TO SOLIDERE AND THE SEA. FROM THAT PUBLIC SPACE A SLAB THAT DETIRME MY PROJECT WILL EXTEND TO THE SEA TO RECREATE THE REALTION CITY-SEA AAND WILL CONTINUE TO THE LIGHTHOUSE THAT IS THE GATE TO SOLIDERE. BY THIS CONNECTION I WILL BE CONNECTION GEMAYZE AND SURROUNDING TOMY PROJECT AND THEN TO SOLIDERE. BY MY PROJECT I WILL CONNECT THE CITY TO THE SEA AND WILL CONNECT REGIONS TO EACH OTHER.

FINAL YEAR PROJECT

LOCATION

Beirout, Lebanon

The Lebanese civil war, which ran from 1975 to 1990, effectively put an end to rail transport in the country.

Today, there is nothing left but dilapidated station buildings and rusted locomotives. That's why the need for a new train station in Lebanon is a most, and as it s gonna be a rellunching for the public transportation. I worked on designing an innovative, futuristic and complex shape.

Considering the large area and the shape of the site, the site itself posed a challenge. Based on those two elements, a dispersed element was required to create an architectural promenade.

According to the master plan, three pedestrian access points are provided for the site. There is continuity between those access points and they merge into a CenterPoint.

The concept began with two simple rectangles oriented according to those access points. In order to create an architectural promenade around the station, those access points must be connected.

EX PLORATORIAUM THESIS PROJECT

LOCATION

Beirout

There is no doubt that Naher al Kaleb offers some of the most striking sights in the country not only because of its history, but also because of its natural beauty. Located just 30 minutes away from Beirut, Naher Al Kaleb is a small village that stays away from the speeding highways. It is home to a roman bridge, which marks special events or passing armies that took place in the region, and a collection of historical steles, carved into stone slabs that are still visible today.

There are a lot of threats facing Naher al Kalb from all sides: high pollution levels, river bank overflows, agricultural degradement, and waterfront desertification. In order to solve those threats, the government decided that it would create a waste water treatment center; however, the proposal was rejected.

During the WWTs, there was a problem with the way the infrastructure was to be placed in an ecologically sensitive site. Certainly one of the most challenging constraints of the project was how to transform this infrastructure into an experience that connects nature and social connections, and how do we establish a connection between the technical industry, culture, and the environment.

As part of the concept, the proposed project would be integrated into the site and transformed into multiple platforms for social and cultural interaction on the site.

THIRD YEAR PROJECT

LOCATION

Daroun, Lebanon

My concept is based on an integration of the site while working ecologically to conserve the landscape. However, in the lower part where the slope is downward, it is impossible to function without deforestation. The hill is very high, which means that you have to dig deep to establish the ideal height and hope to build it. The structural support walls are also a constraint for the landscape.

That said, I decided to turn to another working technique to preserve the land and the trees surrounding it because conserving nature is a priority.

My concept is as follows: To create an imposing architecture that will not go unnoticed by working against the slope to characterize the construction.

My priority is to preserve nature; I have decided to initiate a procedure that respects nature and will damage as little damage as possible. So I came up with the idea of digging only the width of a 15-meter slab throughout the terrain, and I placed my volumes by hanging them on this cantilever slab. This maneuver will ensure the minimum possible damage to the landscape and avoid further deforestation of the lower trees.

The main entrance will be positioned at a height and will communicate with a parking entrance, which will be at the bottom.

An imposing volume will greet visitors to the club, Mainly the stadium where the two sports bleachers are suspended on this mountain, creating a Landmark for the project.
