• Site: Residential Suburban - VILLETTE, Egypt. • VILLETTE is a residential suburban constituted of five villa prototypes; Standard, Medium, Large Villa, Townhouse & Twinhomes. • I have worked on the concept design of the five prototypes’ façades with the same architectural language. • The concept is subtracting portions of the heavy white mass by adding corner windows and introducing bay windows that makes the façades more dynamic.

• Site: Residential Suburban - VILLETTE, Egypt. • I have worked on the concept design of the five prototypes’ façades with the same architectural language. I’ve also worked on the plans and the schematic package of the Large villa. • The concept is subtracting portions of the heavy white mass by adding corner windows and introducing bay windows that makes the façades more dynamic. It also brings a large amount light internally.

• Site: Residential Suburban - VILLETTE, Egypt. • VILLETTE is a residential suburban constituted of five villa prototypes; Standard, Medium, Large Villa, Townhouse & Twinhomes. • I have worked on the concept design of the five prototypes’ façades with thesame architectural language. • This is the first Proposal (that wasn’t developed): The concept was fragmenting the voluminous and heavy mass by tilting portions of the building.

• Site: Residential Suburban - COURTYARD, WESTOWN, Egypt. • The COURTYARD is constituted of six large pocket gardens, each surrounded by a cluster of attached buildings. • I have worked on the concept design of the façades (three different buildings) and the schematic package of the corner building. • The concept is to make the external thick walls look like sliding panels moving along the smooth surface of the windows and louvers continuously.

• Site: Residential Suburban - WESTOWN, Egypt. • The brief was to design a building with twelve loft apartments, each has a double-height reception. • I have worked on the concept design of the plans and the mix of the apartments, as well as the external façades. • The challenge of this project was to treat each apartment as a piece of LEGO, to be able to integrate double-height receptions while bringing natural light and ventilation to all the rooms.

• Site: Residential Suburban - EASTOWN, Egypt. • The project is consisted of a couple of attached buildings. Each contains 8 duplex. • I have worked on the design of the external façades. • The concept is to be able to distinguish each duplex from the outside, by using different masses, colors and materials.

Site: Gated Community - Kattameya Plaza, Egypt. The design is aiming to use the same concept of the lighthouse - visible and illuminated - directing the drivers coming from afar. Designing the kiosk with the same identity and architectural language of the suburban. Indicating the Entrance and the Exit gate by using colored light, green (Entrance) et Red (Exit). I have worked on the concept design of the façade and the construction drawings of the Kiosk.

Name: Simplicity Dimenions: 180 cm H x 28 cm L x 25 cm W Description: I was inspired by the camera tripod - capturing the moment of a live portrait of one-self. The main idea is creating a simple minimal stand-alone mirror comprised of one wooden rod that has been multiplied in order to sustain balance ans stability. • The mirror is enhanced with a joint that enables it to rotate 180° vertically and horizontally capturing different angles.
