Ghoroob Masterplan Development The challenge lays in the size and shape of the plot that was intended to host 29 residential units , a retail strip, and a community nursery. Efforts were focused on creating a space-efficient space plan that would result in a feasible design.

The main challenge was in designing residential units that were cost-effective for the developer. The size played a big role in leasing them out. Semi-detached townhouses were proposed in order to make use of the lack of setbacks. Highly-efficient spacious townhouses were designed along with central community center and a Nursery.

PALESTINE SCHOOL OF ART

The most challenging aspect in the design of this project was the plot location and propotion. The project is placed on a mountain in the suburbs of Ramallah, Palestine. The plot is very narrow and the topography was very steep. The Art school was designed to work with changing heights in the topography and minimizing the exclavations required.

Location :Ramallah - Palestine 25

PALESTINE SCHOOL OF ART

The school is divided into 3 different masses including three different types of Arts. 1- Music & Drama 2- Fashion 3- Design

All 3 Arts are interconnected with a series of open spaces and verical circulation. In turn these spaces become the spaces that students gather up and interact.

The school also includes a plaza and an open-air theatre. The Proposed facade treatment uses native stone material in an artistic manner to signify the the importance of enhancing of Arts in the region.
