Projects
Homes and studies from the studio.
Villa · Salwa
A courtyard for a family of seven
- The situation
- A family wanted privacy from the street, and shade for children outdoors.
- What we did
- We turned the plan around a shaded courtyard, with deep openings on the south side.
- The result
- The garden is usable far more of the year, and rooms stay cooler by day.
Restoration · Old Kuwait City
An older family house, kept and renewed
- The situation
- Three generations wanted to keep their grandfather's house without the leaks and heat.
- What we did
- We kept the arches and stone, replaced services and insulated the roof.
- The result
- The family moved back in, with the house's character kept intact.
Insights
How we think about building here.

Why shade comes first
In Kuwait, shade shapes a house before style does.

Deep openings, screens and courtyards cut heat before the air conditioning has to. Decide them early, because they are hard to add later.

What a good brief includes
A useful brief describes your family, not a look.

Tell your architect how you live, who visits, and what must stay private. Add your budget and plot. Pictures help, but routines matter more.

Renovate or rebuild?
Older homes often have more life in them than people think.

Check the structure and services before deciding. Keeping a sound frame can save cost and keep what your family loves about the house.
