RIYADAH TOWNSHIP

Embraced by the majestic sand, a house that explores a dialogue between traditions fort in a design that brings life to the desert.

This Typology Echoes the evolution of the tribal growth around the oasis (natural survival source). The DNA of such growth is organic by nature and is reflected through the clustering of spaces around the oasis. The Outcome foreseen is fragmented masses with different heights and sizes spontaneously forming circulation ruptures and courtyards. this typology demonstrates the organized chaos found in desert urban fabric; disintegrated geometrically like desert cracks yet closely and intimately intertwined.

“Desert House” proposes a Contemporary take on the vernacular architecture design was inspired by the traditional Emirati mud houses and the “Fareej” the project reinterprets these elements into creating a conventional design gives tribute to the forefathers’ traditional architecture, while meeting modern

architecture found within the Emirati traditional architecture. Where, the generated “Fareej” with its key elements; courtyard houses, sikka and baraha. Therefore, design language that reflects the high importance of the family relationship and modern comforts.

By dismantling the functions of a regular villa and dispersing it, we aim to enhance the notion of a desert camping experience; to savor the true wilderness of the desert with a sprinkle of modern luxury. The formation of the masses (representing the dunes) will add to the anticipation of exploring the oasis.

As illustrated, the built up area of “Desert House” comprises of 4 masses acting each as a housing unit and are ordered as the following; Sheikh’s House, Guest House, Youth house and Wellness house. These 4 houses are linked together through integrated vegetation and water elements acting altogether as a green oasis hidden inside the desert landscape.

BARAHA SIKKA

“Desert House” aims to emphasize the connection with the desert through the use of mud as a building material, where the communication between the desert and the project is revealed throught massing, voids and openings. This dialogue is further highlighted with the contrast the outdoor Courtyard offers with its greenary pumping life into the project and its surroundings like an oasis does. In addition, vegetation allows improving the air quality, reducing heat,and certainly adds an aesthetical value to the project.

The project’s nature is very minimal in its facades yet is of several masses. Therefore, a natural material that can create a balance between the traditional and the contemporary was needed. As a result of the previous study the project’s material would be plaster have the mud’s look in a neutral color covering the whole facades of the house. Bringing unity to the house parts is achieved through using one rich material. The material choice offers a visual experience for its beholders; From afar the material would seem of a one surface and one color however while approaching the house you will feel it blended with the desert environment.

Al-Taef Villa |

Inspired by the extraodinary contextual massing formation of saudi heritage and historical arcitecture

arcitecture , which deals with shades and light responding to the saudi context.

Introducing a contextual hybrid between traditional elements and contemporary diversity, through Mosque’s ability to convey its synchronized historical layers while recognizing its need to evolve and

a permanent structure, that will find balance between preserving the and have meaning in Beirut’s evolving urban identity.

To achieve this profound architectural act we adding a new chapter to the unified elements of the mosque, allowing the eternal symbols to be preserved for future generations, all the while blending in and creating a connection to the architectural and urban scene of Beirut.

Different spatial values, architectural vocabularies and elements of the Mosques and the Downtown Beirut were unified to create a new architectural layer, introducing a contextual hybrid.

• Leaning toward verticality, the design was derived by the proportion of the traditional Jeddah court blocks and was inspired by the ‘ABRAJ’ of Saudi Arabia.

• Implementing height variations within the design to emphasize functions and hierarchy.

• Interpretation of the patterns of Jeddah’s mashrabiya as an overhead shading structure (canopy).

• Reinterpretation of the proportions of Jeddah’s mashrabiya to the proposed design’s fenestration displayed on its facades

• Influences of Jeddah’s traditionally light building colors (ivory/white) on project’s materiality.

• Implementing height variations within the design to emphasize functions and hierarchy.
