About W Horse Stud Villa

W Horse Stud je kuća za odmor projektovana na parceli od 10000 kvadratnih metara u poljoprivrednom području Wafra u Kuvajtu. Kuća je podignuta 140 centimetara iznad tla kako bi se otvorio pogled na okolne konjičke ispuste. Osnova je podijeljena na dvije ose. Jedna osa sadrži štalu za konje. Druga sadrži spavaće sobe, blagovaonicu i veliki dnevni boravak okrenut prema bazenu. Terasa dužine 40 metara zasjenjena je konzolnim krovom od 3 metra radi zaštite od sunca i pijeska. Gradnja koristi izolovane lagane blokove, staklo, betonsku konstrukciju i lagani čelični krov.
