He has participated in over 50 design competitions covering a wide range of project types, from large-scale mixed-use developments to healthcare and science buildings, from supertall towers to low-rise cultural and entertainment venues. Some of his key projects are the Bluewaters Residences and the design of the Cirque du Soleil flagship theater building, both located in Dubai.
