Seen from above, Nad Al Sheba’s residential architecture reveals a rhythm of cubic forms, symmetrical layouts and repeating geometric patterns. Villas, courtyards and streets create an ordered composition, while sunlight and shadow give depth to the clean lines and angular volumes.

My aerial photography explores this relationship between individual buildings and the wider masterplan. The repetition of square footprints, aligned rooflines and carefully spaced structures turns the neighbourhood into an abstract study of form, proportion and balance, revealing architectural patterns that are less apparent from the ground.
