50th ST NE ApartmentsMay 2013 . Washington DCAjalli Architects PLLC

I was involved in the 50th street housing project as assistant project designer. The design work was initi ated by a private developer in NE Washington DC in a neighborhood where revitalizati on and urban rehabilitati on is much required to change the face of the area and att ract new residents.

Since the 50th Street Residence parti cularly is aimed at accomodati ng single mothers on the path of becoming home owners or families in which the female partner is the bread winner and the future home buyer, the client required having a female designer on the team. This helped marketi ng the project to the right customers.

As the government off ers tax incenti uves and instensity increases reqarding developers that provide 20 % low-income apartments in their housing projects, 50th St residence’s developer asked for two of the apartments out of 10 to be designed as aff ordable.

For the purpose of creati ng variety and off ering choices to future home buyers, the 3 storey 3 bedroom 3 bathroom apartments are designed in three types with the following varieti es:

A. Master bedroom on the third fl oor allows for a large luxury bathroom and TV stand.

B. Children bedrooms on upper level is preferred by parents as they have more control over their household.

C. Smaller bedrooms allow room for a private area with study room and a den.

Each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen, uti lity room, washer/dryer closet and several storage rooms. Apartments have their own front yard and private entrance and also a covered parking garage in the gated back lot.

McKee Ave ResidenceJune 2013 . Toronto, CanadaAjalli Architects PLLC

I was involved in the McKee single family house design as the assistant project designer and also as the Revit specialist initi ati ng the fi rst design project in Ajalli Architects fully performed in Revit Architecture.The challenge was to familiarize the offi ce with the potenti als of the new platf orm while keeping the progress at speed. Collaborati on with out of offi ce engineers who used mainly AutoCAD also proved to be ti me consuming. Advantages of using Revit in informati on modeling and producing constructi on schedules and detailing made this applicati on worthwhile.

The design started by following strict zoning guidelines set by the city of Toronto determining the set backs, building foot print percentage, height and number of storeies for single family housing.The client specially asked for a multi purpose basement space, an island style kitchen and a second hidden kitchen for heavy cooking, 3 bedrooms for children and one guest/baby sitt er suite , multi pitched roof and a mix of brick and stone front elevati on.The constructi on will start as soon as the permit is issued in Toronto.

Otolaryngology Assoc.March-September 2013 . Chanti lly, VAAjalli Architects PLLC -Tysons Design Build

I was involved in Otolaryngology Associate’s new medical offi ce planning, design, constructi on documentati on and constructi on administrati on.

Since Ajalli Architects designed a 3 storey pediatric otolaryngology ofi ice for the client on 2011, their new project was undoubtedly referred to us. The client was very specifi c about the program demanding 2 Audio booth rooms, 2 endo ENT room, 2 micro ENT rooms, 6 exam rooms, administarti ve spaces and waiti ng areas.

Two commercial units in Chanti lly were purchased for the project. Aft er site measurements the schemati c design started and once approved the extensive design development process set out. The exam and operati on room millworks was designed with highest quality to meet the goals of the future users, the doctors.

On the next step constructi on documents and material specifi cati on was fi nalized to be handed to the builder and the millworker subcontractors. The constructi on is now on the fi nal days and has been administered by our offi ce regularly.

When I joined Ajalli Architects the Cheshire project was on the verge of the construction phase and the architecture department was starting the interior design. I was involved in the modeling, design development and material schedule preperation of the interior spaces.

The client needed a maximum number of cabinets in a sun filled kitchen with an open connection to other rooms in the house to work smoothly with their lavish persian parties. A granite counter top embraces the column between the dining room and the kitchen. This open counter top is a good place to put iranian Samovar and tea serving set.

Client’s favorite colors are gold and vintage yellow. These two are beautifully balanced between the gold cabinets, yellow walls, white windows and bulkheads and the hardwood floor.

Island kitchen here creates a perfect working triangle between the stove, sink and the fridge while providing openness.
