Project description
Winner of an architectural
competition, this project is to accommodate the main residence of the
Kuwait Ambassador in Bahrain along with its public reception hall. A
shaded “artificial sky” develops into a majestic canopy defining main
entrances and providing shade for an official courtyard. The northern
elevation is masked by a "mousharabieh"-like curtain wall. The interior
private garden develops around a swimming pool and slides under the
main master bedroom wing, only protruding volume
from the linear geometry.
Although the architectural language is modern, it is inspired by
traditional features.
Built Area: ~4.500 m²
