About Basalt Whare
I hangaia mo te whakamarie me te huatau. Ko tenei hoahoa he tino harikoa te kanohi, he mea whakamiharo hoki o roto. Kei roto i nga waahanga nga rakau oakika, nga matapihi i hangaia kia nui ai te maama o te ra, a he mea tino kakara ki nga kanohi. Ko te miharo ki tona ataahua me te tikanga. I te wa kua tae atu koe ki tenei whare, kaore e taea e koe te kite i te manawa o te ngakau me te kare oasis. Ma te koiere o te raakau me te ra e karapoti ana ki nga ra o te ra ka hangai tenei whare ki tetahi kaainga noho noa atu i te noho o te taone nui. Hangaia te whare Basalt kia pai ai te noho ki nga tini taangata.

- Design Challenge
- The hardest part that I had to face was combining the popular architecture built in Southern Syria under the Roman Empire with today's simple comfortable creative design, using the latest technology yet keeping it elegant and interesting to viewers.
- Research
- The research was done by using the internet and observing firsthand the designs built in my hometown in Southern Syria.
The main objective was to blend the popular architecture built in southern Syria under the Roman Empire with unique up to date architecture with a creative touch from the past and present designs.
Methodology for my project was mainly looking at the popular Roman architecture and studying their details to find ways to combine in with today's different interests of people. - Inspiration
- What inspired me the most for this design was the Ancient Romans' architectures built in southern Syria.
Despite the simplicity of its architectural design, it is still imposing its prestige and charms, while continues to be very impressive for viewers. In my opinion, I believe that we are longing for simple and uncomplicated designs at times when modern designs have become a commodity.
The basalt stone with its hardness, unique properties and dark color was the main inspiration for my project. - Project Duration
- The design started in March 2019 and finished in June 2019 in Kuwait.
The execution will start in August 2020 in Syria. - Operation Flow
- This design is fully equipped and fully comforted with a unique automation system which allows the owner to have control to many things in this distinguished house such as; lighting, rolling shutters, boilers, heating and air-conditioning, and security system.
