New Home in Mesillah
This home is also a reflection of the culture within which it is developed. In this sense, its point of contact with the location at ground level is a public floor dedicated to socialisation, for the gathering of family and friends. With this purpose in mind, the spaces were designed to look at one another, detached from the surroundings and interconnected through a series of courtyards.

Wall House in Khaldiya Residence
This property communicates with its formalized solid skin, an existing concern in the city. It is the expression of those thoughts: “the all judging peeping tom”, “windows that looks towards the place where nobody wants to be watched”, “opened facades show only false and preconceived realities”.

Hisham A Alsager Cardiac Center in Kuwait – 19 Jan 2016
Medical buildings are usually perceived as spaces with negative connotations, specifically when referring to rehabilitation centers where patients stay for long periods of time. Therefore, in the design process of this building the aim of the architects was to change this perception and to build a positive space, one that is able to act as a hub for social activity, rather than just a medical center.

The Wafra Living residential complex is 42,000 m2, offering three categories of rented apartments. The difference between them lies from the quality of finishes, type of facilities and their size.
