Operating out of Abu Dhabi, Yasin Alastal is an architect and interior designer whose versatile portfolio ranges from custom villas and sophisticated corporate interiors to community‑focused urban schemes. A graduate with a Bachelor of Architecture from the Islamic University of Gaza, he brings over ten years of professional practice across both private studios and public agencies.
Design Ethos & Methodology
At the heart of Yasin’s work lies a unified vision of architectural and interior spaces, where structure, finishes, and landscape meld into a cohesive experience. He is renowned for his nuanced handling of materials and proportions qualities exemplified in his “New Classic Villa” project, where heritage-inspired motifs are reframed through a contemporary aesthetic. Whether conceiving a tranquil home or a collaborative workspace, Yasin prioritizes seamless circulation, generous daylighting, and a harmonious blend of tactile surfaces.
Career Highlights
Since 2009, Yasin has balanced two complementary roles: as an associate at Khanyounis Engineering, he imparts expertise in architectural visualization tools (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop), and as Head of Urban Planning at Khanyunis Municipality, he oversees development projects with a strong emphasis on community benefit. This dual engagement enriches his interior schemes, ensuring they are both technically rigorous and socially responsive.
Signature Projects & Expertise
With more than 60 projects to his name, Yasin’s standout works include the minimalist “Wabi‑Sabi Office,” which champions tranquility through natural textures and uncluttered layouts, and several villa renovations that artfully fuse local craftsmanship with modern luxury. His technical arsenal spans advanced 3D rendering (Lumion, KeyShot Pro, V-Ray), interactive design workflows, and strategic urban planning, making him an ideal partner for clients seeking spaces that are as engaging as they are enduring.
In addition to his design practice, Yasin Alastal is the Founder and Director of the Engineering Department at Aqarek in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he has led project operations since September 2021. He has worked extensively across the Gulf region, supporting engineering offices and real estate companies with design innovation and regulatory expertise.
Earlier in his career, Yasin founded XYZ Design Company in Gaza City (2014–2017), where he managed multidisciplinary architectural projects. He is also the founder of iDezineLab, a research-driven architecture and tech studio based in Abu Dhabi. His leadership across these ventures reflects a consistent commitment to merging design, technology, and urban development.
