AuthorshipA complete vision by Xforms Studio

Built around the one thing the desert does not give freely — privacy.

Wind towers pull the desert's breath through the house. They let in air, never exposure. Mashrabiya screens break the light into fragments too soft to intrude.

A courtyard pool holds the centre, visible only to the wings that face it, never to the road. Built for someone who has spent a lifetime being seen.

Thick wall, small opening, shaded court, and a wind tower that still works
Materials

Coral limestone, gypsum render, teak mashrabiya, carved teak shutters, palm and still water. Built the way the Gulf built before air conditioning: thick wall, small opening, shaded court, and a wind tower that still works.
