BRIEF:

The project involved develop prototype housing of 18 house at Rakkah, Al-Khobar. The client, a prominent real estate development company, wanted to target middle income group of people. Each villa has nested in a lot area of 550 - 600 sqm and the floor area of each dwelling unit, which has two levels, has an approximate area of 500 sqm.

The challenge involved in creating a variation in elevation concepts but within the limits of modernity and the architectural expression was a conscious departure to modern idiom largely prevalent in recent developments in the city. Architecturally, the buildings have interplay of solids and voids in a series and affordable visual interest.
