The wrapped bathroom concept reduces space usage in three phases. Phase 1 is a horizontal floor plan layout using 100% of space. Phase 2 flips the layout vertically, reducing space usage to 50%. Phase 3 wraps the vertical layout, further reducing space usage to 20%. The final wrapped design contains four boxes for utilities and water recycling, helping reduce water usage.
2. THE WRAPPED BATHROOM
The concept of the
wrapped bathroom comes
from a simple bathroom
layout which goes through
three phases. The first
phase consist of laying
the simple floor plan
in a horizontal manner
which follows by the
second phase that is
simply flipping the
floor plan in a vertical
manner which actually
reduces the space about
50% compare to phase
one. Then the thrid
phase consist of the
wrapping of the vertical
layout of the bathroom
which basically reduces
the space about 80%
compare to phase one.
Phase 1 | Horizontal Layout | 100%

The Wrapped bathroom design:
• Reduces the usages of the extra
space-saving space
• Reduces the usages of extra water
–saving water
• Storage elements placed at top of
the utilities- new function
The final wrapped bathroom is made of four
box elements each having a particular
function. The three boxes consist of
the utilities such as the wash closet,
wash basin, and space for shower. The
fourth box which is connected to the
wall has a very significant function. It
consist of a filtration and a water tank
which recycles the grey water coming
from wash basin and shower for the
usage for the wash closet. This method
helps to reduce the usage of water.

3. During fifth year, I took place
in an architectural and interior
design competition for designing
a toilet. The only restriction
given was a 20m2 space. The
concept for this design was to
create a calming and relaxing
space by using the four elements
of earth. In this toilet, you
will experience a journey of one
experience to another by getting
a feel and touch of each element.

Designing a tower in the fast
growing and cosmopolitan city,
Dubai, the first two words
comes in our mind is ‘GROWTH’
and ‘TRANSITION’. The tower is
inspired by the rapid growth of
Dubai over the short period of
time. Over past years, Dubai has
started from bottom (ROOT CELL)
and quickly reached the peak.
The root structure resembles the
growth of Dubai and its strong
connection to its culture. The
twoer marks the transition
between the old Dubai and
modern Dubai. The tower adds
a different perspective and
interest to the skyline of Dubai.
