Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Conceptual idea was to explore the architectural relation between solid and void through addition and subtraction within a cube, creating a dialogue between indoor and outdoor.
Floor plan design is based on 2 shifted masses creating an internal atrium (includes air conditioning system which will help to enjoy the garden experience throughout the year) and 2 external courts in the front and rear inspired from traditional houses. Shifting direction was chosen based on 2 aspects; Cultural, privacy obscuring the south side neighbors view & Environmental, creating more natural ventilation & providing needed shade to the front yard. - Dimensions & Packaging
- -Plot Area: 25 m X 40 m
-Built Up Area: 1860 sqm
-Floors: Basement, Ground, First, Second & Roof
-Height Regulation from Street Level: 15 m
-Set Backs Regulations: 3 m from street side & 2 m from neighbors - Tags

- -To create a quality living experience and redefine the image of a residential building in Kuwait while maintaining the climate requirements and privacy needs dictated by the Arab culture, were the main design challenges.
-The client requested several separate entrances with a high solid boundary wall where the plot is only accessible from the front.
-Based on the data collection the Architectural design direction is a mixture of Modern/Luxury design with traditional accents using natural materials.
