Mugahwi Chalet

Main facade -- horizontal volumes set within a landscaped setting

The Mugahwi Chalet is a private leisure residence organised around one central idea: the outdoor room as the most important space in the house.

The plan is arranged so that all principal living areas face a generous covered terrace and pool zone, creating the social heart that family life in Kuwait gravitates toward. The architectural language is one of horizontal emphasis, low-pitched roof planes and honest materials -- a palette that sits lightly in the landscape and improves with the passage of time.
