PROJECT SUMMARY

Located in Riyadh, KSA, LANDFORM house is characterized by its landscape strategy. Employing a formal vocabulary culled from the study of the region’s past indigenous civilizations, the residence recreates a complete ecosystem in order to introduce, protect and improve the proliferation of local wildlife by enhancing biodiversity in a dense desert city. Crucial cultural religious needs of Riyadh’s traditional way of living are addressed using contemporary architectural & environmental solutions.

SUSTAINABILITY

Green before their time, the Nabataeans perfected water collection & storage through the use of local materials in the deserts they inhabited. They used the landscape as their fortress, cunningly working in and within the earth to create their camouflaged structures. LANDFORM draws its inspiration from the land-embedded monuments they left behind. Local natural materials are used to translate landscape into architecture, creating a residence that appears to be carved out of the earth and rising from the ground, blurring the line between the natural and the artificial. Privacy, a key element in the region, is addressed by creating inwardly-oriented spaces while simultaneously connecting the users to their environment.
