The 'Yal Living' housing complex presents a unique architectural approach to a challenging site, where tiered arrangements of homes maximize sea views on a narrow plot. Given local regulations limiting building height to three floors, the design opts for a horizontal hierarchy. The traditional block model was adapted to create communal spaces around shared amenities like pools and gyms. Homes are arranged for optimal northern exposure while ensuring privacy from adjacent properties and maintaining functionality in Kuwait's arid climate through innovative use of materials and design.
The ‘Yal Living’ building successfully navigates strict local regulations by incorporating tiered, horizontally-arranged homes designed to optimize sea views, allowing for vibrant communal spaces.
Architectural challenges were met through innovative designs, including a fragmented closed block model that retains circulation corridors while ensuring home privacy and exposure to the beach.
