The unfettered sense of harmony & rhythm that effuses the Traditional Arabic House Design in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia is truly a study in contrasting elements. The westernization of the Middle East has resulted in mixing & matching of modern & Islamic aesthetics in Saudi architecture, & this house is no exception. While maintaining its sense of privacy it delivers perfectly proportioned geometric volumes, pointed arches, molded stucco relief work & a clean simplicity that belies its modern accents. More

The studious rise in smart-phone usage in Saudi Arabia is somewhat of a phenomenon, which CAS has managed to capture really well in the Gravity Minimal Cell-Phone Store Interior Design. Sleek, ingeniously minimalistic and highly function-based, a white marble countertop is the focal point of the store. The neutral color scheme evokes a calming effect while the simplicity of the overall ambient design enables the customers to expressly focus on all available products in the store. More

The clients requested a spacious modern house that expressed its appreciation for outdoor living. An open plan and practical glass and steel house that lived out onto the garden was of utmost importance to them. The site is situated in a private game reserve/ eco estate.

Consequently this custom design developed into a layout that encouraged such a lifestyle. Solid stone clad walls make the house seem enigmatic from the street, but once at the glass front door an interesting contrast is created by the transparency and openness of the home behind the...

A house presented Otto Walker Architects with dramatic views and a choice site. Using a mix of raw timbers and chunky, native stones, Otto developed a concept that responded to the client’s specific wishes.“The materials are intrinsic to the area, and it’s still a bit of an Alpine feel that just seems to make sense there,” says Otto. “The client wanted lots of views, and indoor/outdoor living was also a component.
