About W Horse Stud Vila

O W Horse Stud é uma casa de veraneio projetada para um terreno de 10.000 metros quadrados na área agrícola de Wafra, no Kuwait. A casa é elevada 140 centímetros do solo para abrir vistas sobre os piquetes de cavalos do entorno. A planta divide-se em dois eixos. Um eixo abriga o estábulo dos cavalos. O outro acomoda os quartos, a sala de jantar e uma ampla sala de estar voltada para a piscina. Um terraço de 40 metros é sombreado por uma cobertura em balanço de 3 metros, que oferece proteção contra o sol e a areia. A construção emprega blocos leves com isolamento térmico, vidro, estrutura de concreto e uma cobertura em estrutura metálica leve.

We also anticipate the moment when the natural aging of the landscape will make the house blend more into the site and improve the intended privacy with maintaining the views.
