I LUXURY & SIMPLICITY
Modern Elegance il Sueño house is a blend of modernity and practical simplicity By: Omran Architects Capturing the splendid views of the garden, iL Seuño House in Qatar is designed with an elegant modern style expressing the owner’s personality. The pure white color of the house blends with the natural light tones of the landscape, oozing luxury and simplicity at the same time. White delicate screens enliven bold facades and help to animate the experience between indoor and outdoor. A light horizontal platform gathers the living and dining spaces in the ground floor overlooking a large infinity pool surrounding a sunken lounge, followed by a sloped green carpet blending the different landscape levels. Three cantilevered private rooms create a dynamic massing achieving a harmonious balance between the opposing ideals of privacy and community. The self-shading massing gives the house the direction it needed both environmentally and aesthetically. The masses enclose an elevated court featuring a modern water element. The glazed internal walls afford panoramic views to the garden and pool while shaded from the scorching sun by cantilevered volumes. The staircase is an artistic highlight for the heart of the building featuring modern iconic colored sculptures. Natural daylight is introduced to the house by indoor courtyards, skylights and English courts lighting the basement. The design achieves a simple modern yet elegant home surrounded by nature. This is reflected in the masterful interplay of materials, space, and light in the villa creating a dynamic dialogue between the interior and exterior. The material palette balances between using warm and natural tones of materials providing a feel of intimacy for the users.
