About W Horse Stud Villa

W Horse Stud adalah rumah peristirahatan yang dirancang untuk lahan seluas 10000 meter persegi di kawasan pertanian Wafra, Kuwait. Rumah ini ditinggikan 140 sentimeter dari permukaan tanah untuk membuka pemandangan ke arah kandang-kandang kuda di sekitarnya. Denahnya terbagi menjadi dua sumbu. Satu sumbu memuat kandang kuda. Sumbu lainnya memuat kamar-kamar tidur, area makan, dan ruang keluarga yang luas menghadap ke kolam renang. Teras sepanjang 40 meter dinaungi oleh atap kantilever sepanjang 3 meter untuk melindungi dari sinar matahari dan pasir. Konstruksinya menggunakan blok ringan berinsulasi, kaca, struktur beton, serta atap baja ringan.
