Twin House & Bait Hilal
Published: May 20, 2025
At first glance, Twin House is a study in mirrored symmetry. But behind its apparent simplicity lies a layered response to urban complexity. Commissioned by two brothers, the dual homes address dramatically different site conditions: one opens to a quiet residential lane; the other faces a high-traffic arterial road.
If Twin House is about reflection, Bait Hilal is about embrace. Designed around a crescent-shaped plan, the house curves protectively around its central garden, evoking the traditional courtyard house while making a thoroughly contemporary statement.

Twin House
Published: November 27, 2024
Twin House is an architectural duet; two houses, mirrored. The first looks out onto a slim, narrow road, and the second faces west onto a main road bathed in the heat of the Arabian sun.
The Mashrabiya also lends itself to an ancient art of thermal protection. The stone reflects and blocks the heat of the sun, acting as a stone-skin that wraps around the perimeter of the first floor. Created from limestone, the screen adorns the façade and gives an illusion of a stretched fabric with perforations that respond to the differing lights of the day.

KitKat House
Published: January 6, 2025
The beachside chalet was home to multiple generations of one family, with a main chalet for the parents, a secondary beach house for the eldest daughter, and guest house chalets. The distinctive property features numerous private courtyards and swimming pools, allowing Kuwait’s abundant sunlight to permeate while providing ventilation and privacy to keep each space as relaxing as possible. The project takes on the name KitKat to complement its unique structure, showcasing the design team’s creativity and ingenuity.

Reborn House
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.
