ZAHAL RESORT & SPA COMPETITION doha, qatar Wendell Burnette Architects commissioned by the royal family of qatar drafting, rendering, graphics, model-making team of 8 - design completed december 2011
A direct response to the Islamic culture in Doha, the proposal aims to both create a place intricately linked to its setting, while at the same time alluding to, drawing inspiration from, and re-envisioning an architecture suited not only to the local Qatari culture but the larger Islamic culture from which it will be deriving its programs, staff, and character development. Layered on top of this deep abstraction of place, climate and culture is also an attempt to make connections to a more universal audience and to that, which connects us all as human beings to our planet and the places we inhabit and encounter. This experience is one of both deep personal reflection and renewal, as well as one of promoting exchange and connection.

AXCESS HOUSE academic
phoenix, arizona, us year iii architectural studio
construction documents, detailing, interior architecture, material selection construction completed summer 2013
Axcess House serves as the transitional element between urban industry and the forgotten residential of the urban fabric in the Grant Park sector of Phoenix. Through its versatile axis between open living space and utility modules, the design creates an adaptibility for any given inhabitant, an immediate accessibility to the street and nearby park, and an urgency to restore a connection between the inner suburb to the nearby downtown. Implementation in the vacant infill lots would propel revitalization for the neighborhood, allowing it to be uninterrupted by the existing culturally blank area of mass industry.
