Black and White House Residential House by AGi Architects

Home > Winners > #23931




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Black and White House

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Residential House

INSPIRATION:
Lego Blocks

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Located on a main highway in Kuwait, the houses differentiate themselves from their surroundings by their stark façade design. With two contrasting colors, the façade is designed to define the individual houses, while achieving unity amongst all six. White stucco material is used as the base for all the houses, while dark grey bands of stone turn corners, go indoors, and climb up and down, creating flow and continuity throughout the project. Each of the three adjacent plots divides to accommodate two houses: the front, facing the inner neighborhood street and the back, facing the 5th Ring Road highway. Services shafts and exterior light wells separate the two houses on each plot. The front villas are introverted courtyard houses. Large windows of the main spaces overlook this courtyard that create dramatic light and shadow contrasts, while smaller strip windows face the street. Various outdoor spaces are located at different levels to provide ample light into the adjacent spaces, in addition to creating outdoor terraces and pool areas. The back villas overlook a garden facing the highway. Volumetric spaces and dramatic light-wells drive the visitors into the main entrance of the house, and lead them onto the garden, which not only extends the space to the landscape through large windows, but also acts as a buffer between the houses and the busy road. The landscape separates the houses from each other through different levels that ultimately create privacy and independence from each other. Natural light and ventilation are an important aspect of the design. Each house has a certain level of complexity in terms of spatial organization and relationship between indoor and outdoor. With every visit to the houses, one discovers new spatial and visual experiences.
