Family House In Shuwaikh B, Kuwait By AGi Architects


Spain and Kuwait based practice AGi Architects are the brains behind this minimal, family house in Kuwait’s, Shuwaikh B area.

Located in the suburbs of the city, the house sits among a string of detached single-family houses. This residential urban context, as well as the local climatic and privacy restrictions, were all key to the house’s final design.

The challenge was to meet those requirements but at the same time help the building maintain a visual connection with the city around it.

‘To adapt to the desert climate, the distances between the built volumes are minimal, resulting in shaded spaces between houses. But these spaces, that work well as temperature regulators, result in facades with little privacy and limited views,’ explain the architects, who aimed for a design that would allow both seclusion and some long views out at the same time.

We are firm fans of  AGi Architects at 4. Proud of you guys…
