Architect, spatial design analyst and designer with experience in residential projects - houses and chalets - commercial ones - coffeeshops, co-working space and offices - and lighting design on various scales - urban, architectural and interior.
My interests lie in designing spaces that respond to human behavioral needs. By conducting in-depth analysis on patterns of spaces inhabited by individuals - on both an urban and architectural level - I am able to propose evidence-based design solutions.
My education comprises a BA in Architecture - NAAB accredited - from the Lebanese American University - LAU (2019) - and an MSc in Space Syntax: Architecture and Cities from Bartlett school of Architecture, University College London - UCL (2022).
Prior to pursuing my masters, I was a lighting designer with LedWorld (2020) all while working as a freelance architect on a variety of projects - urban, architectural and interior - throughout Lebanon. In 2018-2019, I worked part-time with Al Jaber&Hawi General trading and Contracting (Kuwait) on the completion of a watchtower for the Kuwaiti Airport - I was in charge of construction documents and on site field work. After the Beirut Explosion that happened on August 4th, 2020, I set up a refurbishment project in collaboration with a congress in Kuwait. I was in charge of a team of 15 architects, engineers and field workers to reconstruct around 50 houses. Additionally, I completed architectural internships with PAD10 (Lebanon) and DNA Architects (Barcelona) that revolved around residential and commercial projects from their pre-schematic phases to their final renders.
I am proficient in the use of AutoCAD, Lumion, and the Adobe and Microsoft suites. I’ve acquired a Revit certificate from Autodesk that I’ve conducted at ETC, an expertise training centre in Lebanon in 2019. Currently, I am working on research proposals in my masters mainly using QGIS and Depthmap. I’ve completed workshops with UCL for Rhino and 3DMax. Due to previous jobs, some other programs I am familiar with are Sketchup and ArchiCAD.
