Moon House

Moon House is a distinctive residential project that responds to both regulatory opportunity and urban adjacency in a densely built neighborhood. Constructed on a plot that benefits from a unique planning allowance, the project takes advantage of an exemption from traditional setback requirements, enabling it to build directly up to the neighboring plot line on its eastern side. This rare condition allowed the design to maximize the buildable area while simultaneously introducing new formal and spatial strategies to address its immediate context.   Caption The design challenge lay in negotiating the close proximity to the existing neighboring structure. Rather than concealing or ignoring this condition, the architectural respons... More

Faye House

Positioned on a corner plot, Faye House is shaped by its relationship with the garden and the surrounding streetscape. The generous setbacks allowed the design to place a lush private garden at the centre of the home, with the kitchen, dining and living areas opening directly onto it through full-height sliding glass panels. This creates a continuous connection between interior and exterior, filling the spaces with natural light and greenery.

Shell House - Kuwait

At the heart of Shell House lies an intimate, lush courtyard and pool which can be viewed from both the home gym and living areas on the ground floor. The upper floors rotate around the garden, which acts as an anchor and pivot point, with pockets of greenery reverberating throughout the house. On the first floor, the master bedroom is oriented to allow views of the courtyard below, while also providing shading for the garden seating. The rotational staggering of the floors in Shell House breaks an otherwise monotonous reading of the house. Each floor is rotated in such a way so as to offer privacy not only from the neighbors, but also from other zones in the house, creating pockets of privacy throughout the home. Every decision in Shell... More

Reborn House

Reborn House is a seaside property in Bidaa, Kuwait. With the western elevation facing a busy street, we opted to carve a series of openings out of the main mass. Cuts were made at acute angles and the windows were set within a slight tilt. By partially masking the windows, we were able to create shadows that minimize solar heat gain while allowing for diffused light to enter the house. On the other hand, the eastern elevation (facing the sea) benefits from deep set openings and balconies that maximize both views and shade. Gijo Paul George When the client first approached us, the initial foundation had already been laid out before they decided to change the design. The general spatial configuration from the previous design had to be... More
