Villa Fifty-Fifty / Studioninedots ➨  Function : Villa ➨  Location:  Eindhoven, the Netherlands ➨  Area:  240 m2 Hello, sick people go drink your hot beverages Sheldon said ;)  Well, I didn't wake up well, so here I'm buried in a pile of tissues, wearing warm socks and drinking green tea, here I'm my friends trying to present decent content for you.  * clap in silence, please .  Let's get into the project.  Today's project takes place in one of the old industrial areas that Philips built in Eindhoven city, It's a villa designed for parents and their two daughters. The project's main concept is related to one we've already discussed in this blog - Check day 7 -  Here too, they treated the occupied space as a half for open spaces and a half for close one or maybe sem-closed one.  The half house, half garden space are designed between two planes, In which volumes that host different functions are distributed.  References:  Ar...

Amwaj Villa / MORIQ Hello guys,  hope you're working on something excited. Today's project is really boring, It is an example of the type of architecture that I don't want to practice. Let's pray that I won't be forced to.  although that the only reason that I chose it is to be able to understand the typology of Arab villas in different regions. I started to get an idea about the difference between designing a villa in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia wins, they are more excited.  To be fair designing residences can be excited when Its context covers up the city and its dynamics, when we create a relationship with Its surroundings and when architecture brings people together. here,  the discussion of the architect's role and limits emerge. Can we force our ideas over people, can we stop them from building private villas on artificial islands. Is it their right to built so, if it is where is the city here?  Well, with a lot of questions and a few answe...

Ternion Villas / Studio Toggle Hello, snowman,  hope you're doing fine I'm really not getting ArchDaily's algorithm of choosing projects, like how often they change the featured projects and how they choose it. Well, today I made my own choice.  After analyzing the work market, I figured that most of the jobs are residential projects in Arab bay, therefor I started seeking projects in the field, and I ended up working on designing a villa's facade in Saudi Arabia. After this short story, I think you figured out today's project. It is a villa in Kuwait. I need to get familiar with their design codes, So BEAR with me.  Well, let's get into the project. The project site that is located near the bay's threshold, is made of three villas. the main design criteria are creating introverted climate-controlled spaces. The masses are divided according to the wind, sun, and view. The living spaces like the kitchen and the living room are located on the ground floor arou...

  Sky House / MIA Design Studio Hi people,  I will admit, nowadays ArchDaily's featured projects are really boring, well, It could be that architectural practices are so unrelaxable to the reality. Addressing the actual problems is only seen in competitions or academic work, nothing tangible. Anyway, Today's project is promising and sad at the same time. promising because the relationship between humans and nature is recognized and the need for green spaces is reflected in the project. Sad because the idea of the human need to create an isolated environment from the city is dangerous. The moment we lose hope in a city that responds to our needs, a city that connects us together through public spaces and to nature through green spaces, is a moment we lose our collectiveness. Well, let's get into the project. The project's main concept relay on dividing horizontally the building into two spaces, one for nature and another for human activities, and reconnec...
