Hello Mohamed Gaber,

I find your design effectively responds to Siwa’s climatic and cultural context, which is highly commendable. The integration of passive cooling strategies, particularly ventilation in the arid climate, demonstrates strong environmental awareness. The articulation of solid and void relationships enhances spatial flow and shading, balancing functionality with thermal comfort. The use of double-height space with pilotis creates openness and hierarchy, while your material selection, green spaces, water elements, and natural lighting strategies reinforce sustainability. Additionally, incorporating renewable energy solutions strengthens the project’s environmental impact.

However, you can focus on enhancing your presentation by using higher-resolution images and clearer layouts to better communicate key design elements. Exploring green roofs could further support thermal regulation, complementing your horizontal expansion strategy. Introducing a circulation diagram would also clarify movement patterns in such a functional project.

Overall, your project integrates climate-responsive strategies, spatial efficiency, and sustainability with a strong design approach. Refining the presentation will further elevate its impact.

Keep up the great work!
