As the sole employee working on the project, I was given a lot of responsibility as to my role. I joined the firm after the conceptual and schematic phases of the project. My first task was to convert the prelimenary plans into a BIM model using Revit. With this, I had to ensure the programming fit the required specifications by the client. I resolved sectional issues and details including designing the columns underneath the bedrooms. I was responsible for the design of the basement, creating different layouting options for the client. I also created different proposals for a small parking garage underneath the building, assessible from the lower end of the site. Furthermore I was responsible for the site design and most specifically the way the building touched the landscape. For client meetings throughout the process, I was responsible for the creation of renderings and presentation materials. Lastly, I had to draft and assemble a package of drawings for the construction permit.

Al Nakheel Villas Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Website: http://accentdg.com/projects/al-nakheel-villas

Project Team: Loubna Alayli, Jad Fenergi, Charbel Karam, Daniel Khalife, Luana Mahfouz As an intern with the firm, I was given this project from the beginning. My job was to research and design a small development of villas in Riyadh adhering to zoning regulations as well as strict cultural sensitivities. I was responsible for creating different proposals for layouting which involed digital and physical modeling. The design of the project came as a response to the need for privacy without restricting the flow of sunlight. The descision to have the houses attached on only one side allows for ample indirect lighting but most importantly allows for better layouting, creating a seperate enterance for the service spaces. The lightshaft insures sunlight into the core of the house, the slanted glass wall has a waterfall feature enhancing the mood of the social spaces. The screen over the glazing on the facade is a modern interpretation of a traditional pattern cut out of aluminum which filters sunlight while highlighting the form of the masses. My role was mostly conceptual and schematic design however it involved the creation of a detailed 3D model as well as the production of renderings and other presentation materials throughout the process for approval by the head architect.

A vacation town in Italy, where the population increase dramatically during the summer months. My goal was to minimize congestion along the waterfront, creating more space for pedestrians and public functions. The site was to be developed into rental properties as well as democratic attractions of our choosing. To emphasize the public nature of the project, the housing is elevated from the ground level. This not only allows more space for the piazza bellow, but also provides shelter from the sun in the summer and from the rain and snow in the winter. The housing is compact and modular, based on a fractal arangement which can be reproduced and expanded. The shape comes from traditional thatched architecture of the area before it was developed. The Northern end of the site houses the public functions, a cafe on the ground level, a theatre above and an open gallery on the top. the grand spiralstaircase is the main circulation for both private and public functions of the space while the stairs to the south connect the piazza to the beach.

A museum where the architecture is designed as a narrative for the story of evolution. The six solid sculptural spaces represent the distinct chaptures in natural history. The first space constitutes of the origin of organic life, moving through aquatic life, dinosaurs, mammals, human evolution, and ending with the future of biodiversity. Each form is derived from the distinctive traits of the time period. The placement around the site creates a tension of void spaces that become representative of the mass extinctions throughout history that are integral to the process of evolution. The site is a wide expanse of land on the waterfront in what used to be a largely industrial area. The site used to house a highway overpass that was

demolished, its proximity to college campuses provided with a need for the creation of public space. The site development begins to correct the damage done to the site and the river by creating a bioswale to control urban run-off. The expansive green roof is accessible from the final space on the future of biodiversity, this not only helps control rainfall and regulate interior temperature but allows for personal reflection against the backdrop of the industrial city. An existing walkway along the river is extended and landscaped to provide relief from the urban fabric, it terminates in a small amphitheatre sheltered by the form of the building to house public events, lectures and concerts, creating useable space when the museum is not in operation.






A one bedroom, free-standing house near a golf course in Nevada, for a client restricted to a wheelchair. The house abides by strict regulations of the American Disabilities Act (ADA). While the provided parcel is large, I chose to develop a compact house making it easier for accessibility. The structure is placed near the street with the rest of the site untouched. Nevada’s hot and dry climate makes it difficult to create a sustainable space. The largest issue is the shortage of water in the area, in response, the roof is designed as a rainwater collection system and stores it in the sculptural basin that occupies the center of the house. This can not only be used for grey water within the house but also provides passive cooling in the summer as the water evaporates. The shape of the roof allows hot air to rise and vent out of the house while the wind scoops capture and cool the southern, summer breeze. The southern facade is made up of a stone wall with a garden in the center that keeps the house in shade. The northern facade is a curved glass wall providing panoramic views of the landscape.




The assignment was to develop a corner lot on a dense residential street. The goal was to create a single family, three bedroom house while respecting the context and zoning codes. I wanted to create a prototype for residential spaces that brings in natural systems to promote environmental and social responsibility. The corner lot provided a lot of opportunity for letting light in, using a screen of dense vertical mulliens, the light floods the public spaces in turn activating and treating the corner condition. A one car parking space is placed at the front of the house with a setback entry, this frees up the back of the site to become a large undisturbed garden. The ground floor is occupied by a living room that flows into the kitchen with a dining room a few steps down with access to the garden. A staircase along the curved screen moves up into the family room, a split level seperating the public and the private spaces of the residence. The room features a large slanted glass wall that looks down on the garden allowing for large amount of light to enter during the winter while reducing direct light in the summer. A clerestory is placed along the party wall, and above the stairs that lead to the bedrooms, allows light to filter down to the lowest level of the house. The childrens rooms occupy their own floor with a shared bath and access to an outdoor terrace, while the master bedroom is given its own floor with access to the roof garden. This garden not only aids in water management and passive cooling but has a stronger impact on the mindset of the families in the urban setting, allowing for an intimacy with nature.
