About W Horse Stud Fila

Mae W Horse Stud yn dŷ gwyliau a ddyluniwyd ar gyfer safle 10000 metr sgwâr yn ardal amaethyddol Wafra yn Kuwait. Codir y tŷ 140 centimetr uwchben y ddaear i agor golygfeydd dros y paddogau ceffylau cyfagos. Rhennir y cynllun yn ddwy echel. Mae un echel yn cynnwys y stabl geffylau. Mae'r llall yn cynnwys yr ystafelloedd gwely, y man bwyta a'r ardal fyw fawr sy'n wynebu'r pwll nofio. Cysgodir teras 40 metr gan do bargodol 3 metr i amddiffyn rhag yr haul a'r tywod. Mae'r adeiladwaith yn defnyddio blociau ysgafn ynysig, gwydr, strwythur concrit a tho dur ysgafn.
