Kuwait Diplomatic Residences
Six attached Villas for Kuwait Diplomats were to be erected in Amman, the capital of Jordan. On a plot of 4469 m², the project was especially designed to form a blend between the Kuwaiti and Jordanian cultures in a modern and aesthetic sense, and to be a home for the Kuwaiti Diplomats working for the Kuwaiti Embassy in Amman.
The courtyard, which constitutes an essential space in the design of this residence, poetically grows upward to create other spaces. This volume flanks a living room on the first floor and a sitting area on the roof to celebrate the wonderful views of Amman. The ground floor contains functions such as a reception area for guests, a formal living room, kitchen and a private guest bedroom. The first floor holds a group of master bedrooms dedicated for the relaxation of its users, along with a family room which views the swimming pool. The basement is fully dedicated for the acitivities and leisure of the family which opens up to the pool, and a large entertainment space to accommodate the needs of everyone. In addition to that, it houses the building services and the main kitchen in a secluded and private place in the basement.
The design of the residence boasts the main features of the traditional Kuwaiti architecture. Firstly, the courtyard is used as a key architectural element in a house, as it provides privacy for family members since the rooms revolve around it. The courtyard also works to cool the house from the inside and provides natural ventilation. Secondly, the Diwaniyeh (a reception area where a man receives his business colleagues and male guests) is received from the main entrance of the house. Thirdly, the roof is a main feature in the house, and is a place where family members gather to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and is accessed by a straicase from the courtyard.
Taking into account all plot regulations in terms of built up area, it was decided to have the villas attached to one another in order to fully take advantage of setbacks and utilize these spaces with services and access roads to each villa. The villas are all replicas of one another and situated in conventional ways in order to give each villa its own privacy and the best views.
While natural local stone is used for villas, and considered to be the conventional style of building in Amman, it is used here in a modern manner in terms of texture, size and installation method.
