Riffa views, bahrain
Riffa Views comprises of three exclusively distinct Signature Estates - Lagoon, Oasis and Park, a Colin Montgomerie championship golf course, a world class international school and state of the art amenities. OASIS ESTATES The flowing sands of Bahrain and the soothing natural shades of green create a picturesque background to the villas in the Oasis estate. Featuring a classic architectural style amalgamating the local Bahraini architecture elements with the contemporary, these villas are a work of art and a reminder of the Arabic architecture. LAGOON ESTATES Contemporary architecture creates an effortless feeling of calm, the clean styling of the exterior and the expansive indoor areas give a feeling of openness and space. PARK ESTATES The inspirational Mediterranean architecture gives the villas of Park Estate a quality that defies the passage of time. Perfectly suited to their idyllic setting, characteristic designs of brick and stucco add to the feel of this historic style.

Set around the world-class championship Riffa Golf Course, this BD190 million (500 million USD) development includes over 1000 highly desirable villas built to outstanding quality. As the Lead Architect and Project Manager for MSCEB for this prestigious and top end township project, I was in charge of the design of all the top-end villas, two mosques and other ancillary buildings. In addition, several standard villa concepts were developed, and carried out to Detailed Design and Tender documentation. The next three slides show the snapshots of various types of villas for all the three estates starting from the basic two bedroom townhouse of 193 m2 to the elaborate signature villa of 715 m2

Nomas mall, bahrain
One of the Royal family members of Bahrain requested Meinhardt for a quick conceptual proposal for a retail centre with multiple uses to include cinemas, retail, food court and general entertainment for children. Interpreting the typical racetrack pattern popular amongst malls, the concept has been developed on a circular plan consisting of four segments which are punctuated by vertical circulation cores. These cores include escalators, lifts as well as vistas into the centre and the outside. The mall was divided into four levels with the first level consisting of the bulk if the retail. The Second level contains the Food court, retail and the entertainment section for children. The third level contains the cinemas. The fourth level has unique vistas towards the inner centre with terraces. This was thought to be an excellent opportunity for some of the boutiques and small office owners. On the first level the centre is occupied by the ice rink. The Ground floor and an additional floor above it are completely dedicated to parking requirements of over a 1000 cars. Extending the concept of segments further, the various levels have receding and protruding sections in a seemingly random order. These are further trated with facade treatments comprising of mashrabiyas, arches, metal screens and glass. The circulation at the three retail levels has many interconnecting spaces which offer connectivity and a sense of magnificence to the mall. The next two slides show the schematic plans and section. The areas indicated exceeded the expectation of the client.

The scheme encompasses Capitaland’s aspirations by proposing a unique architectural statement linking the entire site with a strong common identity. Rafael Vinoly Associates have prepared the concept design, with MSCEB as consultants for MEP and structural design. Full detailed design, construction documentation as well as supervision were undertaken by MSCEB. The construction Documentation for the towers were progressed on Revit by me and my team of two architects and four CAD draughtsmen.
