One of our recently finished GCC Projects involved four siblings who each owned a separate plot of land and had their own wishes and desires for their homes. These wishes could be symbolic, programmatic, or photographic. Each home was designed individually, without any influence or awareness from the others. The result was a ‘cadavre exquis’, a playful expression of projecting volumes and inset gardens that created a sensitively engaging whole with the surroundings.

Our architectural aspiration is to make the elderly home one with its community: a continuum, not an end!
Anchored along the terrain’s westside, the building is formed by two ribbons inscribed within the jagged polygonal opposite site boundaries. The building winds itself around the site perimeter of the plot, to grant each resident a “room with a view". The two levels: one above the landscape and another partly sunken in it, connect to multiple landscapes with different experiences.

This award-winning architecture entry of one of our GCC projects interlaces the two new buildings of Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS), its new headquarters (HQ) and Convention Center (CC) along Kuwait’s most prominent coastal stretch. With KFAS’s already existing Scientific Center, its promenade, and a newly proposed elevated pedestrian bridge, a ‘Science Mile’ connects all to wind its way down into the new public plaza shaded by CC’s cantilevered overhang. The HQ pays hommage to modern architecture by setting back from Pearl Marzouq, a mixed-use project we recently renovated, by extending the green meadow of the adjacent promenade in between both.
