Interviews with Aamer Qaisiyah

The main idea and principle in my design is to combine ancient Roman architecture and modern architecture to create a new urban culture based on simplicity and comfort in addition to luxury and beauty.

What inspired me the most was the ancient houses that were built in my area during the era of the Roman Empire.

My focus has been more on simplicity and comfort, as it is my principle that “less is more” which I focused on in my project with simplicity of designing. In my opinion, in our current time many designs are complex and incomprehensible and disturbing. Therefore, my primary goal is to create a creative design that is comfortable and simple and to spread this culture globally.

My future plan is to implement this project and to see it built in reality, and of course my aim is to try to spread this design and this culture as much as possible.

It took nearly 3 months to design this project, ranging from researching and studying the idea to preparing maps and drawings, then making 3D design and producing work.

I designed this particular concept since I have always liked the Roman’s houses built in my hometown.

I pursued my own inspiration.

The project has not yet been implemented, but we are preparing to implement it for one of our customers and very soon the construction process will begin to see the light.

I wanted to combine the uniqueness of both the old and the new century’s architectures providing comfort, luxury at the same time simplicity.

No, the design for this project was from my own motivation and inspiration, in addition to some support and encouragement from family and friends.

The target customer is anyone who’s looking for a dream house that combines simplicity, luxury, and lots of comfort.

What distinguishes this design is the combination of simplicity and luxury, between aesthetics and comfort, which are usually a rare combination to find

Basalt is a black volcanic stone. The design will It be built in a very solid area of Basalt rocks land in addition to the exterior cladding of the house.

The houses that were built in the ancient Roman era in the region of Southern Syria, inspired me to do this project which were from Basalt stones as well.

Therefore, the name Basalt was the most suitable name for this project.

The research was done by using the internet and observing firsthand the designs built in my hometown in Southern Syria.

This house combines both past and present architecture, with its simple exterior, sharp angles and unique combination of distinct material. Blending ancient architecture using Basalt and Oak wood with renewed creative ideas merging from this historical era.

I designed this project on my own without from any assistance from anyone, but of course, like any architectural project, I needed some input for technical aspects, such as electrical plans, sanitary, civil works, and some technological systems in this project.

This design is fully equipped and fully comforted with a unique automation system which allows the owner to have control to many things in this distinguished house such as; lighting, rolling shutters, boilers, heating and air-conditioning, and security system.

No, my design was not influenced by any data or analytical research in any way. I watched houses in my old home town.

The hardest part that I had to face was combining the popular architecture built in Southern Syria under the Roman Empire with today's simple comfortable creative design, using the latest technology yet keeping it elegant and interesting to viewers.

I decided to nominate my project for this competition, because in my opinion, this architectural culture we’ve talked about should be spread globally. We need comfortable and attractive homes.

I've learned to work hard, because competing in a world full of creative architects is very difficult.

I would just like to thank A' Design Award for giving me the chance to share my inspiration and to present my design to the world.

I am an architect who graduated with excellence from the university, I adored art since my childhood, and I found that architecture and design have a wide field to fulfill my dreams.

My last exhibition was in Lebanon few years ago. I hope to have a permanent exhibition, and the place does not matter.

I always take inspiration and thoughts from everything around me.

My style of design is always simple and logical, keeping pace with the requirements of our time, and my approach is "less is more".

I am from Syria and I live in Kuwait, I was really affected by the ancient architecture of my home country It was amazing and great architecture, but in Kuwait the architectural culture restricts the dreams of the designer.

With respect and trust, Teamwork.

I believe companies should work with the designer as a team to come up with the best results. Companies can select a good designer who is creative and thinks out of the box.

The design process is a long process and needs a clear mind. First, a lot of research must be done to form an initial conception of design, then ideas must be arranged well before beginning the design process.

My favorite design items are the Coffee table, T.V unit, the Sofa from Menotti and the chair from Baker.

Wake up, have a cup of dark coffee, go to oversee the sites and then come back to the office to take care of design matters and develop myself in spare time.
