My Role: Architectural Associate | BIM MANAGER

This project involves the development of five central plots situated directly behind the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) headquarters. The initiative aims to establish a dense, mixed-use urban center with integrated commercial, residential, hospitality, and public programs—positioned as a key extension of the existing DSO campus. The project remains confidential and has not yet been publicly released.

I contributed to the masterplan design, focusing on site organization, zoning distribution, and massing strategies that align with the long-term development goals of the DSO precinct. My role involved shaping the spatial layout in coordination with functional programming, urban connectivity, and regulatory frameworks.

In parallel, I led the BIM management for the project, overseeing model structure, data organization, and interdisciplinary coordination. I established and maintained the federated model environment, managed drawing extractions across phases. I also ensured that project documentation met internal standards and client expectations, enabling efficient updates and communication throughout the design process.

Visual outputs—including masterplan diagrams, urban interface studies, and concept renderings—were developed under my guidance to support internal reviews and stakeholder presentations.
