Designed as a row of courtyard houses in a luxury residential neighborhood
near the sea, this project attempts to recreate in each unit the
atmosphere of a traditional Arab Courtyard houses designed around
two courtyards a formal court with a central fountain and a services
court. Although small and compact, each 4- bedroom unit is planned
efficiently and provides for privacy for the family areas gathered
around the two courtyards, while the guest areas are directed towards
the main street in terms of view and physical orientation. The architectural
character reflects regional themes of traditional architecture with
emphasis on massing and intricate details in wood and ironwork.
