"The House emerges as a quiet, introverted sanctuary, turning inward from the street and shielding its interior world from public view. From outside, it presents as a sequence of low stone walls, solid and continuous, almost monolithic beneath a concrete slab. These walls do not merely enclose; they define a threshold where the rhythms of the home unfold in measured silence. The design draws from local, historical, and Islamic architecture, where inward-facing courtyards and enclosed spaces invite reflection and stillness."
"Text description provided by the architects. The House emerges as a quiet, introverted sanctuary, turning inward from the street and shielding its interior world from public view. From outside, it presents as a sequence of low stone walls, solid and continuous, almost monolithic beneath a concrete slab.

The house functions as a quiet, introverted sanctuary that turns inward from the street and shields its interior world from public view. From the exterior, the building reads as a sequence of low stone walls arranged beneath a concrete slab, presenting a solid, continuous, almost monolithic presence. The walls serve not only to enclose but to establish a defined threshold where the household's rhythms unfold in measured silence. Materiality and form reference local, historical, and Islamic architectural traditions. Inward-facing courtyards and enclosed spaces create opportunities for reflection and stillness and prioritize privacy and contemplative domestic life.
