Architects – Huckle & Partners LLC Oman Villa features: Creation of light well to get natural light deep into building Large Open-plan living with minimal columns visible.
Here is a building that encompasses traditional concepts of Omani architecture whilst breaking with the un-written rule that you can paint your home any colour so long as it’s white! The building uses traditional high-level openings not to channel heat out of the interior keeping it cool and dark as in the past, but to channel light in, making the interior bright and spacious. Oman has recently experienced adverse climatic conditions; storm shutters at the flick of a switch seal this building.
Wired for the 21st century, with every conceivable mod-con, is this the future take on the traditional Arab home?
