About Aziz House 주거용 건물
아지즈 하우스는 사우디아라비아 부라이다에 위치한 가족 휴양 주택이다. 이 주택은 사막 환경에 어울리도록 설계되어, 쾌적함을 위해 패시브 쿨링과 자연 환기, 차양을 활용한다. 형태는 키클라데스식 매싱, 나즈디 기하학 패턴, 모로코풍 점토 색조에서 영감을 얻었다. 파사드는 타델락트로 마감했는데, 이는 손으로 바르고 다지고 광을 내어 방수성 윤기를 낸 뒤 올리브 오일 비누로 마감하는 천연 석회 미장이다. 브리즈 블록은 프라이버시를 확보하고 빛을 여과한다. 대지 면적은 3,740제곱미터이며 총 연면적은 1,180제곱미터이다.

- Production Technology
- The facades are treated with eco-friendly material Tadelakt, a Moroccan lime plaster finish. Crafted from natural lime, it’s hand-applied, compressed, and polished to a lustrous, waterproof sheen, sealed with olive oil soap for durability. Used across the exterior, it cloaks the walls in a seamless, organic texture that withstands weather while exuding tranquility. Its subtle elegance enhances the retreat’s aesthetic, harmonizing with the environment and offering a tactile connection to nature.
- Design Challenge
- Merging three distinct architectural styles Cycladic, Najdi, and Moroccan. While maintaining design harmony.
Ensuring that the fusion of these styles respects cultural traditions and remains aesthetically cohesive. - Research
- We visited the site in Buraydah to study its desert environment and Saudi culture, the client’s needs were balanced between privacy and luxury. The research focused on eco-friendly materials available locally and innovative breeze block manufacturing. The 3D modeling phase was challenging, as it required multiple iterations using Max, Rhino, and Revit. The landscape incorporated a desert theme with cacti and a duck pond to enhance cooling.
- Inspiration
- This design is inspired by three key influences: Cycladic architecture, with its massed forms and shaded facades for climate adaptation; Najdi cultural patterns, reflecting Saudi heritage through geometric motifs and vibrant hues; and Moroccan clay, providing an earthy, tranquil aesthetic. Together, these elements create a harmonious retreat that balances tradition with sustainability, respecting the local environment while ensuring a serene and comfortable living experience.
- Project Duration
- The project is located in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia. The design was finished in April 2024 and The construction is still in process
- Operation Flow
- The Aziz Rest House is designed as a tranquil retreat, evoking warmth and inner peace. Its primary goal is to create a serene environment where visitors can relax and reconnect with themselves. Thoughtful spatial composition enhances comfort and fosters a sense of personal sanctuary. Every element is carefully integrated to promote relaxation, offering a harmonious haven that provides calm and respite from the demands of daily life
