ARCH-ID / HOMEARCH-ID STUDIO

Current project / Ali Mohammed

Arch-iD Studio

An exploration of structure, landscape and the spaces between.

Architectural views and a construction video trace a visual journey from an open site to a layered architectural proposal. Presented as design studies, they reveal the framework, planting and spatial ideas behind Arch-iD Studio.

The open site

A ground for possibility

An uninterrupted plane catches the evening light. The surrounding trees and distant skyline establish the setting before the architectural framework takes shape.

The structural grid

Order, rhythm and repetition

Repeated columns and beams define a family of open volumes. The exposed framework makes the spacing, scale and relationship between the blocks visible.

A layered framework

Reading the structure within

A denser network of structural members fills the primary frames. This view explores the relationship between the clear outer grid and the more intricate systems held inside it.

Landscape and light

Soft edges within a precise grid

Planted borders and warm lighting trace the bases of the structural bays. Landscape begins to give the open framework a more intimate scale, connecting the built volumes to their shared ground.

The spatial proposal

From framework to inhabited space

Glazing, white enclosures and planted terraces bring the architectural study together. The exposed frame remains legible as interior spaces, roof gardens and illuminated edges give the proposal depth and character.

The developed proposal

A connected architectural landscape

An elevated view brings together glazed volumes, planted terraces and the exposed structural grid across a shared, illuminated ground.

The site in progress

Between construction and completion

Workers, material stacks and temporary site cabins sit alongside the developing studio volumes, showing the proposal within an active construction setting.

Raising the frame

Structure taking shape

Cranes lift steel members above a busy construction site. Columns, beams and working platforms reveal the sequence behind the emerging framework.

Building the grid

A closer view of assembly

An elevated view follows the steel grid as it extends across the site, with lifting equipment, materials and workers arranged around the growing structure.

About the creator

Ali Mohammed

Creator of Arch-iD Studio · Founder of Arch-iD Ltd

Ali Mohammed leads Arch-iD Ltd, an independent architectural design and visual communication practice exploring the relationships between people, place, material systems and identity. Arch-iD Studio is his current project, presented here through a series of architectural visual studies.

A graduate of the University of East London, he is continuing postgraduate architectural studies at the University of Lancashire. His practice combines design reasoning with cultural memory and experimentation, from early architectural concepts to layered visual narratives.
