Amongst the many projects he has worked on, one of the stand outs was his design for a 300-metre-high, 250,000sqm split linked, mixed-use hotel, residential and commercial tower at the centre of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai for Nakheel, The Trump Organisation and Donald Trump.Over three years in the making, the project and the client were extremely challenging with high expectations, as the building was the centre piece of an iconic man-made island in the Arabian Gulf.
