Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
I am an architect with international experience across Europe and the Middle East, involved in complex projects across the full design and delivery process, with a strong focus on design quality throughout all phases. My work bridges design and construction, using technical and construction-stage insight to inform early decisions and maintain architectural intent through execution. Working within international, multidisciplinary teams, I value precision, collaboration, and clear coordination across disciplines, supported by BIM and emerging digital tools. My architectural focus lies in materiality, tectonics, and functionality, with particular attention to detailing, spatial coherence, and buildability.
Digital Art Museum, Diriyah – Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (25,000 m²) On-site Design Guardianship Architect for the Digital Art Museum, a key cultural anchor within the Qurain Cultural District in Diriyah North. The project forms part of a major cultural and social development in Riyadh, integrating museum spaces, workshops, offices, and retail into a unified architectural ensemble. The intervention balances heritage and innovation, contributing to the Kingdom’s ongoing transformation toward a more open, creative, and globally engaged society. - Review Shop Drawings across all disciplines (Architecture, Structure, MEP, Façade, Audiovisual, etc.). - Management of RFIs, coordinating responses within the design team to resolve technical and aesthetic queries. - Evaluation and validation of MARs, MIRs, and WIRs, verifying material quality, compliance with design specifications, and correct on-site execution. -Preparation of weekly progress trackers to monitor construction status, identify deviations from IFC documentation, and propose corrective actions. -Coordination meetings and workshops with all stakeholders to maintain alignment and ensure project progress. - Conducting regular site inspections to monitor construction works, detect issues, follow up on resolutions, and anticipate potential conflicts
- Transitioned to Project Coordinator, leading coordination primarily with Structure, while also helping MEP, Landscape, Audiovisual, and Façade consultants. - Ensured communication and alignment among project stakeholders throughout the design process. - Integrated engineering inputs into the architectural design, ensuring technical coherence, quality control, and code compliance. - Managed documentation workflows, deliverables, and submission schedules to maintain progress and prevent delays. - Assisted in resource allocation and planning to support efficient project delivery.
- Participated in conceptual and schematic design phases for large-scale cultural and educational projects. - Developed and refined BIM models for architecture and interior design, ensuring accuracy, coherence, and alignment with design intent. - Implemented design updates, translating conceptual decisions into coordinated spatial and technical solutions. - Developed modeling workflows to improve documentation efficiency and multidisciplinary coordination. - Produced drawing packages, reports, and presentations for reviews and alignment with project stakeholders.
- Worked across all project phases, from concept & detailed design to site supervision, on residential and refurbishment projects. - Coordinated with structure and MEP disciplines to ensure integrated and buildable design solutions. - Liaised with suppliers and prepared BoQs, budgets, and material specifications. - Provided on-site technical assistance to verify adherence to design intent and project specifications. - Participated in architectural competitions, developing layouts, conceptual proposals, and renderings.
