The Dead Sea is one of the wonders of the world, located on the lowest point on earth it is truly nature in all its glory. This extreme environment combines the harsh weather conditions of the desert with the rocky mountain colors merging together with those of the salty sea water. It is a special experience that inspired this project.
The program calls for a housing project of 16 units, in the newly part of a small village situated right on the shore line, which will attract younger wealthier families in order to revive the otherwise isolated region. Approaching the design in such extreme environment encouraged a different way of thinking, and though the existing district plan offered its own architectural solution, it did not connect to the area in which the project is located nor to the difficult weather conditions. Instead of having a garden surrounding the house leaving it exposed to the elements the project spread out through the lot and folds the house around small privet gardens over looking to sea. The house itself is lowered from the street level and Sire – Walls define in and out space to isolate the house form the suns radiation thus saving cooling energy and leaving a clear and elegant façade towards the street but also a clear landscape view from both the public and privet areas of the house.
The Project introduces the dialectic between the desert landscape and the human habitat. Naturally, drawing the environment as a primary creative act is to find the sense of place, the "genius loci" to dwell in the desert. Environmental sketches lead to a series of watercolors emerging from abstract drawings to architectural ones. Three dimensional sketches induce to bring forth a primary act of digging in the fresh sand as a refuge instinct, a starting point of the process of design. Slowly, those drawings, become compositions in two dimensions that pose habitable voids and cloisters thus naturally turned into sections, almost architectural ones. While time clarifies this sense of inhabiting, a series of drawings are coming up, so to say, plans, sections and formal language, detailed drafts of patios, water mirrors, porches and roofs as the fifth façade.
