MUTLAA COURTYARD VILLA

      The concept of the villa is derived from the traditional vernacular architecture of the Arabian Gulf, and more specifically Kuwait. The site is located on a typical plot facing a single road. 

    The brief being a simple build for a single family, it was important to create a private outdoor space that can be used recreationally. At the same time the courtyard acts as a element that introduces light to the central spaces within the building.

     The main facade of the building is intentionally simple in character with deep inset windows that provide shade from the direct sun facing south.
