Alexander Skhiri Sheraton Hotel
Working with Patrice Hart, the major project under development was the five stars Sheraton hotel in Tripoli. Patrice was probably the most demanding architect I ever worked with, he was always making sure that every single part of the project was designed and detailed to the highest standards, including even the illumination of the entire hotel. Several architectural features had to be changed for example, just to enhance the night aspect of the elevations.

Alexander Skhiri BMW Showroom
When the work started on my graduation project, the BMW headquarters, I wanted to conceive a building that reflects the technological innovations of the car manufacturer. Due to the complexity of BMW products, the design of its headquarter took me through different stages of morphological concept design. The project had two main divisions, a car showroom on the ground floor and the offices will be located in the upper levels. I did a lot of hand sketches, to imagine the general aspect of the building, before I moved to 3Dsmax to enhance even further the unusual aspect of the proposed building.

Baku Hotel Proposal
For a private investor in Azerbaijan, we developed a mid-size hotel in a high rise building, I was the main architect in charge to conceive the project, and to maintain the proper communications with the clients during the progress of the work. We started work by preparing hand sketches for the tower, the entrance, the rooms… Than the second phase started when we had to create the project inside Revit for all different departments of the hotel. Revit was very helpful for a large project, because we had the possibly to prepare the technical drawings and the 3D model at the same time. In a further period, I also prepared the 3D visuals in 3Dsmax directly from Revit’s model.
