Work Sample: Hospitality Services
Spa Terminal D and E, DFW Airport, TX (Concept Design) Square footage 1200
The luxury spa strives to refresh and rejuvenate tired travelers after a long flight at a major
international Airport. With the rich dark natural wood finishes, comfortable furnishing, tranquil soft
music, the spa will be a getaway from the bight terminal lights. A place to relax sore neck or back in
between tight air-crafts, full body works, getting the hair or nail done while waiting, or simply take a
refreshing shower or get the organic skin or hair care product. The space flows from the retail area
offing complementary drinks transitioning though the semi transparent decorative panel to the semi
private massage area to the private massage rooms at the back end of the space. This will be the only
facility with shower access for passengers who do not plan on going to a hotel. Carefully selected
green material, LED lighting and low flow plumbing fixtures will create an environment friendly space
with low energy use.

Work Sample: Interior Remodel
Dallas Center for Photography, Uptown Dallas, TX, Square footage 1500 sqft, Cost $8500
A 1986 building with 1800 sqft of shooting space, a 35ft hard Cyclorama wall and garage door will be
remodeled to extend 10' out for a second photography class space at the cantilevered mezzanine.
Client Peter Poulides testimonial:
“I needed an architect to work with me on a remodeling project at The Spot Studio in Dallas.
I'm the owner and like to work directly with professionals instead of large companies with
layers of personnel. I went to the AIADALLAS website but the search function only returned
architectural firms by proximity to my zip code. That wasn't going to be much help because I
knew from prior jobs that finding someone to take on a small project can be difficult. So I
called the AIA office and was given the names of three local architects who might be able to
help. After looking at their websites I decided to call Mahbuba. It was the right call. She has
been punctual, responsive, creative, professional and overall a great person to work with. She
has shown authentic enthusiasm for the job and the challenges involved in cantilevering a
mezzanine into an existing space in a way that worked with the existing conditions and
brought not only space but solid design and a bit of flair into the studio”.

Work Sample: Mixed Use
Multifamily and Retail with Multistory Garage Parking Downtown Dallas, TX Square footage
289,269, Cost $30M
We were hired by a Dallas based hotel developer to do a conceptual design of a mixed use
development across the parking lot of Dallas City Hall. It was challenging to solve the retail, parking
garage, and apartments stacked on top of another. We provided them the most revenue generating
solution while keeping in mind the orientation, light and view to the 128 unit apartments. The building
contained 20,000 sqft retail and 130 space garage parking. The roof terrace is designed to be the
center of outdoor activities with a large lap pool and a secure play area for the children in the building.
Common facilities are at the front corner of the building which will include a club house, party area and
business centers with a gorgeous view of downtown Dallas. When built, we believe this building would
play a significant role in
the revitalization of
Downtown Dallas.
