Hey, I want to chat with you! Are you an architect, an interior designer or a freelancer? Are you looking for an opportunity to work with your dream client? Please reach out to me at bellajdel.malak@gmail.com to schedule a call. I’m looking for 10 people to conduct a study 🤓 and I would love for you to be apart of it and learn from each other. Talk soon!
Hi Malbel, I am an architect in California, working for more than 50 years in my field, and I have to tell you that I like your design process and you explain your proposal in a language that a client would easily understand. Way to go colleague!!!! And yes, the third option is way better. The second one was a little busy.
I Stumbled across your Facade Design video and are extremely impressed with your vision and talent. My husband and I are designing and building our home and we feel good about our preliminary design but wish we had someone with your talent to take a look and critique our endeavor. Do you freelance?
hello mam these two videos are quite informative and kindly thanks for it mean as a civil engineering student it really help me with the design field. Kindly thanks. Will u do a short series on facade design from scratch? ( if no... then can u suggest or guide something which will improve in my skillsets). Have a gret day ahead.
Very good informations about designing. I would like to see facade design rules for adjoining apartment buildings. Like skinny, thin buildings. If you can share your opinions about that I will be glad to you.
Hey Malak! Thank you for the video. I got a question. How can we use shapes to add in new windows and stuff if we are doing the facade after the plan? How can we work on the shape hierarchy if the plan is already finished? What do you suggest in this case?
Hi thanks for watching! Ideally you would keep the facade design in mind while laying out your plans so they are designed simultaneously. However, if the plans are set and your facade is still not there, it’s a more challenging task. In that case you really need to study the facade and chose a few elements that you can highlight by adding frames, screens, or strips of different material to give it some depth.
You are beautiful 😍. Had to say it. Nice designs. I have a concern though. In the second design, i feel like you cared less about the confort of the home by leaving the balcony completely opened to the sky. Which make the place unusable during raining days ... I am graduating in civil engineering and I do not know anything about designs rules. I prioritize confort when i happen to design a house. So i guess what i'm asking is if it is OK to not prioritize confort in every place of the building. Because that would give me some freedom to explore more design ideas.
Thanks for watching :) I agree, thinking about comfort and function is crucial in design. When It usually rains, the temperature drops as well (in this case, Canada) and people avoid lounging in balconies in winter whether it’s shaded or not.. that was just my thought process. That’s why site context can change the whole design and needs to be taken into consideration.
