FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.

PARALLELS IN MOTION
Saifi 162 Building
Rehabilitation of a traditional Lebanese house into a harmonious culmination of heritage meets modernity.
The massive duality between the pre-existing traditional 1920's Lebanese house and the new modern extension built as a plug-in, reveals a connecting void within its walls. It acts as a central core and pivoting axis of movement and circulation, the house's users dwell around this void, constantly encountering and perceiving scenes of each other's life. Through the various interplays of openings between the public and private areas, interior and exterior spaces, it becomes a stage where different actions and daily activities thrive in harmony.
The project was aborted due to financial problems.
