About W Horse Stud Villa

W Horse Stud ass e Ferienhaus, dat fir e 10000 Quadratmeter groussen Terrain am landwirtschaftleche Gebitt Wafra a Kuwait entworf gouf. D'Haus ass 140 Zentimeter iwwer dem Buedem opgeriicht, fir de Bléck iwwer déi ëmleiend Päerdeswisen opzemaachen. De Grondriss ass an zwou Achsen agedeelt. Eng Achs beinhalt de Päerdestall. Déi aner beinhalt d'Schlofzëmmeren, den Iesbereich an de groussen Wunnraum, deen op de Schwämm bléckt. Eng 40 Meter laang Terrass ass duerch e 3 Meter auskrachend Daach beschat, fir Schutz virun der Sonn an dem Sand ze bidden. Fir de Bau goufen isoléiert liicht Bausteng, Glas, eng Betonstruktur an e liicht Stolldaach benotzt.
