About 

Employment 

Abatal Architect, Casablanca, Morocco, Architect Designer

Duties include, but are not limited to: designing and coordinating an entire project from design sketches to the production of construction documents using Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2008 and Archicad 12.
Experience in designing Residential Projects working independently as an Architect.
I was able to learn how to transform customer’s ideas into designed architectural solutions by managing and coordinating an entire office team.
After working on The Tiger Woods Hotel project in Dubai for SB architects, Morocco was particularly a continuity of a very rich experience in terms of learning a different Architectural language, construction Technics, crafts, details, culture, Artwork, colors and specifically Green construction management working with and learning directly from different artisans. The Moroccan architecture with its work to the last detail helped me broaden my experience and change the way I view architecture, giving my modern contemporary architecture style a mixture of simplicity and detailing.
