About

An Architect with over three years of experience in diverse projects, including industrial, residential, and interior design. My expertise lies in design development, detail drawings, material selection, and on-site coordination to ensure seamless execution.

In addition to my architectural experience, I have expanded my skill set through a professional BIM certification from Kaarwan, where I developed proficiency in Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo, Forma, Formit, and Energy Insight.

This knowledge allows me to integrate BIM methodologies into the design process, enhancing project efficiency and coordination.

BUILDING

Scope: Structural & Architectural Modeling, Facade Design & Visualization

Tools Used: Autodesk Revit, Twin motion, Photoshop

Overview: This project was developed as part of a BIM course, emphasizing comprehensive Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.

The project demonstrates proficiency in Revit’s structural and architectural tools, focusing on precision in wall marking layouts, detail drawings, sectional details and visualization.

In addition to architectural and structural modeling, I also practiced MEP design, clash detection using Navisworks, and energy analysis for this project. However, these aspects are not included in this portfolio.

Structural Model

The structural model, developed in Revit, represents a detailed and coordinated structural framework for the project.

It includes key elements such as columns, beams, slabs, foundations, and load-bearing walls, ensuring structural integrity and alignment with architectural and MEP models.

IGeneric connections & column rebar design

Generic structural connections were modeled in Revit to ensure proper load transfer and stability. Standard bolted, welded, and anchored connections were applied based on structural requirements.

A rebar model was generated for accurate scheduling, and construction documentation.

Key Features of façade design

Terracotta Jali Screen – Enhancing aesthetics, ventilation, and daylighting while maintaining privacy.

Extended Balcony - An extended balcony around a building can serve as an effective thermal barrier by reducing direct solar heat gain, enhancing ventilation, and providing insulation.

Double wall system – Glass + Terracotta Jali screen. Jali screen Provides passive cooling by shading the glass from direct sunlight. Acts as a weather barrier, maintaining an enclosed, conditioned indoor space.

BOGASE FARMS RETREAT -VILLA 1

Scope: Architectural Modeling, Solar Study, Visualization

Tools Used: Autodesk Revit, Twin motion & Photoshop.

Overview:

The villa design for Bogase Farms Retreat integrates sustainable design strategies with modern architecture.

Using Revit, the project includes comprehensive architectural modeling, spatial planning, and solar studies to optimize natural lighting and energy efficiency.

The visualization phase showcases realistic renderings to communicate the design intent effectively.

CUSTOM FAMILIES

Scope: Revit Family Creation

Tools Used: Autodesk Revit

Overview: This section explores parametric design principles through custom Revit families.

The set includes nested window families with adjustable shutter states, modular kitchen cabinets with parametric variations, and adaptive louver systems.

These components are designed to enhance flexibility and automation in architectural modeling.

FACADE MODELLING

Scope: Parametric Facade Design, Adaptive Families creation.

Tools Used: Autodesk Revit, Photoshop

Overview: The facade modeling of Gherkin Tower (London) and Al Bahar Tower (Abu Dhabi) demonstrates advanced parametric design techniques.

The Gherkin facade is structured using custom triangular curtain panels, while the Al Bahar Tower employs adaptive panels that respond to shading requirements.

These models emphasize the role of computational design in optimizing performance-driven facades.

1.Massing: Created a conceptual mass in the shape of the Gherkin Tower.

2.Curtain System: Applied a triangular bent family to the mass using Revit’s curtain system.

3.Custom Curtain Panel: Designed a triangular curtain panel with material parameters and imported it into the project.

4.Facade Application: Applied the custom panel family to the curtain system and divided the mass into floors using the Mass Floor tool.

Key Skills:

Massing

custom family creation curtain systems and facade detailing in Revit.

Workflow Overview:

1.Created a conceptual mass to represent the tower's form.

2.Designed a parametric adaptive family (open/semi open/closed).

3.Divided the mass surface into a grid and applied the adaptive family to the divided surface.

4.Added parameters to the adaptive panels for size and orientation control based on shading needs.

Key Skills:

Adaptive family creation, parametric design, and facade detailing.

EXERCISES

Scope: Warehouse PEB Structure, Staff Toilet Layout, Villa Design

Tools Used: Autodesk Revit, Twin motion

Overview: This section includes smaller-scale exercises that reinforce BIM principles in practical applications.

The warehouse project focuses on Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) systems, the staff toilet highlights functional space optimization, and the second villa iteration explores massing, planning, and visualization techniques.

These exercises strengthen fundamental BIM workflows in diverse design contexts.
