About W Horse Stud 别墅

W馬場別墅係一座為科威特Wafra農業區內一幅一萬平方米地皮而設計嘅渡假屋。呢座屋離地140厘米高,目的係為咗開闊視野,俯瞰周圍嘅馬場圍欄。平面佈局分為兩條軸線:一條軸線容納馬廄;另一條軸線則設有睡房、飯廳同埋面向游泳池嘅大型客廳。一條長40米嘅露台由懸挑3米嘅屋頂遮蔭,用以阻隔陽光同沙塵。建築結構採用隔熱輕型砌塊、玻璃、混凝土結構同輕型鋼製屋頂建造而成。

Inspiration: The main views from the house are quite turned to the desert landscaping, horses and the swimming pool.

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.
