This residential complex consists of two large villas and an upper floor apartment together with a diwanyia (men's reception hall) grouped around a large formal courtyard, and share an extensively landscaped garden with direct access to a private beach. A large basement extends under the whole complex with parking garage for 18 cars, 2 multi- purpose halls, a gymnasium, which opens to a basement courtyard, and various services. The project evokes urban images of an old Arab village with its several courtyards, arcades, towers and pavilions. The architectural image reflects classic Islamic features within a modular system that provides a rationed order to the planning and design of the whole project.
