Notes
This project, inspired by Jordanian villages, sought to find a middle ground between modernity and tradition.
It contains octagonal courtyards and is structured on a square grid. It employs heights used in traditional houses to facilitate ventilation and light penetration, and blends in to its natural environment through its volumes and choice of stone material.
