About W Horse Stud Vil·la

W Horse Stud és una casa de vacances dissenyada per a un terreny de 10.000 metres quadrats a la zona agrícola de Wafra, a Kuwait. La casa s'aixeca 140 centímetres per sobre del terra per obrir vistes sobre les tanques de cavalls circumdants. La planta es divideix en dos eixos. Un dels eixos allotja l'estable dels cavalls. L'altre acull les habitacions, la zona de menjador i una àmplia sala d'estar orientada cap a la piscina. Una terrassa de 40 metres queda protegida per una coberta en voladís de 3 metres, que la resguarda del sol i de la sorra. La construcció utilitza blocs lleugers aïllants, vidre, una estructura de formigó i una coberta d'acer lleuger.

Guest and family spaces cover larger area of the house overlocking the swimming pool that surrounded with desert landscaping and horse arenas. We also anticipate the moment when the natural aging of the landscape will make the house blend more into the site and improve the intended privacy with maintaining the views.
