2007-2016

AHMAD AL-SHEMMERI

The following pages contain a selection of projects I have worked on

from 2007 up to now. Thank you in advance for taking time to go

through it.

All of the projects I worked on were usually as a part of a team.

The collaborative nature of the projects were essential to their

success. I have always been a major contributor towards the design

process and my designs, sketching and graphic skills have helped me to

do so. I have also been actively involved in all aspects of preparing the

construction documents and construction administration.

All projects that I have done as a designer at Speedway Properties for

9 years and as an architectural designer at Engineering International are

exclusively my work.

All the graphics, renderings and sketches in all the following projects

have been generated by me unless otherwise noted.

Speedway Properties developed the former Tool House complex

at the northeast corner of 8th and Q Streets in the Historic

Haymarket. The project included retail/restaurant bays at street

level, outdoor patio seating, new awnings, and lower level

daylight spaces along the west side of the corner building. Upper

floors include 68 new loft apartments with an attached walkway

to the Haymarket Parking Garage. I worked on this project from

pre-design and programming through schematic design and

design development, assisted in construction documents and

construction management .

Tool House Project, Lincoln, NE

This project was the most challenging project. The

building is located in downtown Lincoln. The first

This is a four-building complex formerly occupied by the

Salvation Army at the southwest corner of 8th & P Streets in

2003 and has gradually redeveloped these buildings into

active offices and retail. I worked on different phases of this

project. Including tenant improvement spaces, new west

addition from concept to design development, assisted in

construction documents and construction management .
