The Pearl Majlis

The Pearl, Doha

A public majlis on a curved seawall, its teak roof lifted like a sail so the breeze passes straight through and the harbour stays in view.

02 / 471,180 m²
Residential2022

Corniche House

Al Corniche, Doha

A family house folded around a shaded courtyard, its thick coral-stone walls keeping the rooms cool while narrow slots frame the water.

03 / 47910 m²
Hospitality2021

Sail Pavilion

Katara, Doha

A beach restaurant under a single curved canopy that reads as a lateen sail from the water — all shade, no walls on the seaward side.

04 / 472,300 m²
Adaptive reuse2020

The Boatyard

Al Wakrah

An old dhow-building yard turned into workshops and a café. We kept the slipway and the timber frames, and let the craft carry on under the same roof.

Mangrove Walk

Al Thakira

A raised boardwalk threading a protected mangrove — timber on slim piers, touching the ground as lightly as we could draw it.

Restoration2017

Pearl Diver’s House

Al Wakrah

A century-old coral-and-plaster house brought back by hand — every wall re-burnished by the same trades that first raised it.

Drawings shown are diagrammatic. The full portfolio, with sections and photographs, is sent on request.
