About Aziz House استوګنیزه ودانۍ

عزیز هاوس د سعودي عربستان په بریده ښار کې د کورنۍ د استراحت کور دی. دا استوګنځی د خپل صحرايي چاپیریال سره سم ډیزاین شوی، چې د آرامتیا لپاره له غیرفعال یخولو، طبیعي هوا وهنې او سیوري څخه کار اخلي. د ودانۍ بڼه د سیکلاډیک جوړښتي حجم، د نجدي هندسي نقشونو او د مراکشي خټینو رنګونو څخه الهام اخلي. مخونه یې د تادلاکت په واسطه پای ته رسول شوي، چې یو طبیعي چونې پلستر دی او په لاس لګول کېږي، فشارېږي او تر اوبو ضد ځلا پورې صیقلېږي، بیا د زیتونو د غوړیو صابون سره بندېږي. سوري لرونکي بلاکونه محرمیت او فلتر شوې رڼا برابروي. د ساحې مساحت ۳۷۴۰ مربع متره او ټوله پوړیزه مساحت یې ۱۱۸۰ مربع متره ده.

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
