PRACTICE PORTFOLIO Raghed Bakir Bachelor student of Architecture Boston Architectural college Tuesday April 7th, 2020
[ RAGHED BAKIR ] BIOGRAPHY To be creative that’s a human complexion, to be a designer that’s individualism. My portfolio is a consistent of documentations, evaluations, communications, advertising projects, building network, developing proposals, developing programs, and site analyses, meeting with design panels etc.. Being able to develop an idea, design it , sketch it , and then translate it into words, written design statements for others to understand makes up ahuge part of architects work, and that’s how I approached my design. Architects need well developed critical thinking, interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills.The ability to reason logically through a problem, andargue competency to its solution all helped in my design thinking, and design process.

“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.” Cooper - Interstellar

This was the first major project that got handed to me at Khalsa design, which required to design Two Town houses in 48 Elm street Somerville. Everything has to be designed and oriented according to the developer’s needs and wishes. The project futured a modern and simple architecture. The design had to be strategically and reasonably layed out to fit the clients needs. The project had to comply with at least one sustainable solution and to fit the developers budget by finding the best quality-price .

Conducting a research on somerville codes and creating a zoning schedule. I usually do that prior meeting the client or when given the project. I learned how to calculate accuratly the FAR, lot size, yard setbacks, somerville city codes and regulations. Along with including the civil plan to the right where I got most of the information from to create the schedule.
10
11
I was given an existing condition house that I had to draft in revit. Then After meeting with the client. He decided to turn the house in to two exi town houses. I have provided an existint sheet to refrence from in this set. 12
13
Calculating area square footage and FAR. City of somerville does not count stairs or closet as part of area square footage sold per unit. So keeping that in mind to the right is the fully developed proposed plan of the two townhouses. We just submitted for the permit last month.

The client wanted to keep traditional design for the existing town house and had asked me to make the additional town house be modern . So I decided to add modern panels to the new addition and have traditional trims all over the existing house.

Labeling and learning about different and afforable siding was really challenging and fun. Picking out material to satisfy client needs.

102 Brook street . KDI PG-36-53
In this project . I had to transform a single family house located in 102 Brighton mass, into 4 proposed units. The most A challenging thing about such projects is the possibility of creating or providing such space. Originally the developer wanted five units but it was not possible according to zoning. He was finally convinced and was satisfied by only 4 units. I had to add an additional floor and dormers to make it possible.

27 Gilman Street. KDI PG-54-87
In 27 Gilman street, I had to add an extension to the existing building and renovate the studio. The drawings show a part of the existing building and as it may be seen from the floor plans the proposed addition. This gave me the opportunity to find out more about the way the buildings were constructed in the past and how to manage to connect an old structure to a new one. I have conducted and completed all construction documents to start the building processes.

3 Hamilton Street. KDI PG-88-103
Hamilton street was similar to 102 brook street and 48 Elm street. WHich is turning a single family home into muti- residantial units. The only difference is that when designing Hamilton. I ran in to the challenge of the zoning and codes of somerville changing. I had to adjust the design accordingly to get approved by the city while meeting all clients wishes and needs. I had to keep existing walls and only repair as needed. He didnt want alot of exterior changes. I just completely transformed the interior layout to match the client needs.

In this project, I had to design an addition on the back of a single-family home in Arlington. It had to include one large multi-use room for weight training/pilates equipment and space for ballet training. A studio essentially, with hardwood floors and lots of light. Ceilings as high as possible. They wanted a very clear vision for the space including construction materials and dimensions.

Scale: 3/16" =1'-0"

103
Some of the fundamental aspects of this design was a desire to include an oversized sliding door (8’x8’) on the left side wall of the addition, with another 4-panel sliding door at the rear (8’tall), which would lead to the backyard. The right side would be a solid wall. Two panels would slide while 2 would be fixed as seen in the drawings. The rough opening would be 16 feet to accommodate door and glass panel assembly. The pitch of the roof would be nearly flat, also to maximize height. There is a 2nd floor bay window that extends out from the back of the house which limits the roof line height and options.
104
105
They specifically wanted to include 2 x6 on an 8-inch cement slab. with footers as necessary. Two walls will have a large rough openings of 8’ and another 16’ for exterior sliding doors. The solid exterior walls would be clad with clapboard to match the rest of the home. The addition will measure approximately 17’x32’. There is an inset as mention, which is approximately 600 square feet to enclose this area.

For this project, We got hired by Elan Sassoon to put together Condominium Documents. I beleive this was my second condo docs and these units are designed by different architect. So I had to draft the proposed and create a condo doc of the existing.

When preparing Condominium Documents, I usually start by visiting the site and double checking measurements. Making sure they match the plan and add or fix any design changes that took place in field. I calculate the gross floor area, exclusive area, common area and unit area. I Verify the height as well. For commercial buildings or big projects, the plan usually matches the proposed building.
