Taɣara Tasuft: This project redefines the villa as a controlled microclimate within the climatic conditions of Kuwait rather than a standalone object. Organized around a central courtyard, it creates an inward-facing oasis that ensures privacy, thermal comfort, and spatial continuity. A thick architectural frame filters light, air, and views, transforming the envelope into an environmental device. Water, greenery, and shading systems act as active elements, producing a layered living experience where architecture and landscape operate as a unified system.
Tigejdiwin & Akemmus: The project is a multi-level private residence on a 600 sqm plot with a total built-up area of 1250 sqm, organized across basement, ground, first, second, and roof levels. It utilizes a reinforced concrete structural system with insulated walls and high-performance glazing. The envelope features a ventilated stone facade with integrated shading, alongside a central courtyard, suspended pool elements, and passive cooling strategies including cross ventilation and evaporative landscaping.

Tasnakta n Ufares: The project was developed through a climate-responsive parametric workflow integrating solar analysis, thermal simulations, and facade optimization. A ventilated stone envelope with controlled porosity and matte nano-sealed finishes enhances heat resistance and durability. Passive cooling is achieved through shaded courtyards, evaporative landscaping, and a high-performance insulated envelope, creating a stable internal microclimate with reduced energy demand.
Asewḥel n Usnulfu: The core challenge was reconciling a heavy architectural expression with extreme GCC climate conditions and strict residential regulations. The design needed to ensure cultural privacy without relying on traditional forms. Externally, climate performance, material feasibility, facade weight, and cost control required precise coordination. Through a ventilated envelope, controlled perforations, and integrated shading, the project balances identity, performance, and constructability within a unified system.
Anadi: Applied architectural research addressing climate-responsive residential design. Objective: redefine privacy and thermal comfort in extreme GCC conditions. Methodology combined climate analysis, spatial prototyping, and facade studies. Tools included solar simulations, thermal modeling, and parametric testing. Participants involved client workshops and engineering consultants. Results produced a ventilated envelope with a shaded oasis core. Insights demonstrate that protection and openness can coexist. Impact includes reduced heat gain, enhanced wellbeing, and a replicable model for housing in hot climates.
Aseḥbiber: Driven by a fundamental question, how a residence can generate its own internal environment, the project responds to Kuwait’s climate of heat, exposure, and privacy. Inspired by traditional Arabic houses, an inward-focused system is organized around a central courtyard. A thick architectural envelope filters light, air, and views, while water, vegetation, and shadow act as active elements, forming a controlled microclimate and a seamless integration between architecture and landscape.
Tanzagt n Usenfar: The project was designed between May and September 2025 in Egypt, encompassing concept development, spatial studies, and technical coordination. It is currently under construction in Kuwait.
Tanila n Umahil: The project is experienced as a sequence of framed moments. A solid outer facade ensures privacy before opening into a lush inner oasis. Movement transitions from shaded entry to a bright courtyard, through water reflections and elevated views. Light filters through controlled openings, evolving throughout the day. The house performs through passive cooling, combining shade, airflow, and spatial layering to create a comfortable environment where protection, privacy, and nature form one continuous experience.
