The Design

About Basalt Maja

Ehitatud nii mugavuse kui ka elegantsuse saavutamiseks. See disain on tõeliselt pilkupüüdev ja tähelepanuväärne nii seest kui väljast. Funktsioonide hulka kuuluvad tammepuit, aknad, mis on sisse toodud rohkelt päikesevalgust, ja see on silmi rahustav. See on lummav oma ilu ja tehnika poolest. Kui olete siin majas, ei saa te märgata rahulikkust ja oaasitunnet, mis teid üle võtab. Puude ja ümbritsevate päikesekiirte tuuleke muudab selle maja ainulaadseks elukohaks eemal tihedast linnaelust. Basaltmaja on ehitatud nii, et see meeldiks ja mahutaks erinevaid inimesi.

Production Technology: This house is designed to blend easily and beautifully into the surroundings of natural environment, as well as being durable, resistant and can endure natural unpredictable weather conditions. Its outer walls are built of double concrete blocks and are covered with natural basalt stones. Its large windows are made to bring in as much light as possible while keeping a cozy atmosphere. The double glazing thermal brake aluminum system is used as well as water refining systems and solar systems.
Design Challenge: The hardest part that I had to face was combining the popular architecture built in Southern Syria under the Roman Empire with today's simple comfortable creative design, using the latest technology yet keeping it elegant and interesting to viewers.
Research: The research was done by using the internet and observing firsthand the designs built in my hometown in Southern Syria.
The main objective was to blend the popular architecture built in southern Syria under the Roman Empire with unique up to date architecture with a creative touch from the past and present designs.
Methodology for my project was mainly looking at the popular Roman architecture and studying their details to find ways to combine in with today's different interests of people.
Inspiration: What inspired me the most for this design was the Ancient Romans' architectures built in southern Syria.
Despite the simplicity of its architectural design, it is still imposing its prestige and charms, while continues to be very impressive for viewers. In my opinion, I believe that we are longing for simple and uncomplicated designs at times when modern designs have become a commodity.
The basalt stone with its hardness, unique properties and dark color was the main inspiration for my project.
Project Duration: The design started in March 2019 and finished in June 2019 in Kuwait.
The execution will start in August 2020 in Syria.
Operation Flow: This design is fully equipped and fully comforted with a unique automation system which allows the owner to have control to many things in this distinguished house such as; lighting, rolling shutters, boilers, heating and air-conditioning, and security system.
