About W Horse Stud Villa

W Horse Stud er et feriehus designet for en 10 000 kvadratmeter stor tomt i Wafra-landbruksområdet i Kuwait. Huset er hevet 140 centimeter over grunnen for å åpne opp utsikten over de omkringliggende hestepaddockene. Plantegningen er delt inn i to akser. Den ene aksen inneholder hestestallen. Den andre inneholder soverommene, spiseområdet og det store stueområdet som vender mot svømmebassenget. En 40 meter lang terrasse er skjermet av et 3 meter utkraget tak for beskyttelse mot sol og sand. Konstruksjonen benytter isolerte lettvektsblokker, glass, en betongstruktur og et lett stål-tak.
