Global Design Principal at Aedas, with over 21 years of experience in architecture and nearly two decades of practice in the Middle East.
Since relocating to the region in 2006, he has contributed to one of the most significant periods of urban transformation in the Gulf, leading design across hospitality, residential, cultural, transport, leisure, and master planning projects.
His work is shaped by a clear belief: architecture must respond to people, place, climate, culture, and time. This approach has guided projects that engage with the evolving identity of the region, from contemporary hospitality destinations and transport infrastructure to adaptive reuse and culturally rooted developments.
He has received several regional recognitions, including Young Architect of the Year at the Middle East Architect Awards in 2010, Architect of the Year at the Design Middle East Awards in 2019, and Architect of the Year at the Architecture Leaders Awards in 2022. His projects have also been recognised across hospitality, residential, cultural, and master planning categories.
Alongside practice, he contributes to the wider architectural community as a speaker, critic, and mentor. He is frequently invited as a guest critic at universities and has spoken at leading architecture and design platforms across the MENA region.
Through his role at Aedas, he continues to shape design thinking with a focus on contextual architecture, cultural identity, urban transformation, and the development of the next generation of architects.
