About W Horse Stud Etxaldea

Book Text: W Horse Stud Kuwaiteko Wafra nekazaritza-eremuan 10000 metro koadroko lursail baterako diseinatutako oporretxe bat da. Etxea lurretik 140 zentimetrora altxatuta dago, inguruko zaldi-larreetarako ikuspegiak zabaltzeko. Plana bi ardatzetan banatuta dago. Ardatz batek zaldi-ukuilua hartzen du. Besteak logelak, jangela eta igerilekura begira dagoen egongela handia hartzen ditu. 40 metroko terraza bat 3 metroko hegal-teilatu batek itzaltzen du, eguzkitik eta hondarretik babesteko. Eraikuntzan bloke arin isolatuak, beira, hormigoizko egitura eta altzairuzko teilatu arina erabiltzen dira.

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.
