Dining space from the apartment, a double wall created on an extruded column at the window to realign the wall of the window with it having a column on one side.

This creates depth and meaning to the wall and to the composition. Now the dining console and the curtain are embedded within that wall making the space whole.

There should always be a hidden dialogue between the furniture or between different spaces. There must be some lingering connection throughout the spaces, something to relate to that connects them. I think this gives character and experience through materials, textures, colors, lighting, and forms.

For example, the half-looking table tops at each entrance, are distinctive but they look familiarly similar. As if they are two sisters, they provide the same function and purpose, yet still different. They are chamfered to ease movement because of their positions, but each is placed in a different dimension of space thus their dimensions are also different, and so on with every property that is particularly made to reflect some meaning.

The marble column expands the colored wall, into the reception and connects the spaces.

It’s an anchor for the space. You revolve around it, you chill next to it in-front of an existing french window that used to belong to another room, you stare at it, and appreciate its texture.

An apartment in Zamalek that is planned to be split into two unidentical ones, one to act as a seasonal studio. The apartments would remain interconnected through a door (the colored wall in the image). This door, when open, makes them complete each other through the kitchen of the studio and the dining of the other. Imagine the expansion and multitude of gathering experiences that would take place.

Throwback to these Science City competition sketches back in 2016.

The main idea was to cluster all the program along the snake-like main collections exhibition, creating meaningful access points and making the experience more connected and solid.

The console wall encloses the master-bedroom behind, the wall doesn’t end into the supposedly intersecting wall but rather stops and lets the curtain go into a pocket that is ended with glass blocks. This subtle translucency between the bedroom and the living space allow a very slight unseemly connection between the two, usually disconnected spaces, to take place; The spaces connection makes the seasonal apartment whole as intended rather than disconnected irrelevant spaces.

From an apartment remodeling in Zamalek.

When you turn into the reception along the curved wall, a pocket is unravelled to the left, an intermediate zone with shelves, and a fridge.

The same wall continues into a console, the upper part contains storage and AC ducts. The compacted wall is shared with the master-bedroom, the negatives are positives for each side, the dark shelves create contrast and depth to the console wall and the squarish living space.
