Residential Home for Ghiath Al Masri
The Slab House was designed to juxtapose construction materials, combining wood, concrete, and steel. The design is at once hyper-modern yet discreet. The huge windows are an immediate focal point, but they are protected from the weather and street-view by concrete slabs. Gardens feature heavily in the property, both on the ground level and at the first floor, allowing the residents to feel connected to nature as they interact with the property, creating a unique flow as one moves from the entrance to the living areas.

The Slab House interplays liberally between the use of all the main materials used in its construction; wood, concrete, and steel to make the living experience both visually appealing and tactile. The use of floor to ceiling windows accompanied by twinning concrete slabs separated by strips of space creates an informal, yet structured juxtaposition between the two materials.
Architecture, Modern, House, Contemporary, Design
Slabs House is a concrete structure with steel structures and a blend of finishing materials including concrete, white sigma, and Basalt stone. This production juxtaposed past and present, new and old materials, and brought in some historical markers of Kuwait's construction to evoke history.
The biggest challenge was to realize the design which called for windows running from the top to the bottom of the property, in a country in which privacy and security are paramount. The final design allowed the full windows to be used while maintaining privacy through the use of concrete slabs.
The project was designed throughout 2018 and was undertaken fully in Kuwait.
The interplay between the different construction materials guide and welcome visitors into the core of the property. By featuring gardens on both ground and first floors, we bring the feeling that the outside and the inside are mixing, while protecting the inside from the extreme heat and weather conditions by using steel and concrete.
The research portion of the design included looking at the contemporary residential area, the existing houses and how this property would fit in the landscape. In addition, our team explored traditional architecture and construction methods to connect the past to the present through construction.
The initial design developed from the idea of having a residential home that contained and was modern, intimate, open and private. The residence uses concrete slabs to interplay between what cannot be seen viewing from the street view, to the openness and freedom of the experience from a person inside the house looking outside.
