U Villa
The U-shaped house was inspired by the horseshoe and the outer envelope was inspired by the Burqa’a. Two essential but different elements in the Saudi culture. Elements that resemble both pride and humbleness, strength and privacy, beauty and mystery. Quite an interesting formula. Which is what this house is all about.
U Villa Residential House by Adel Badrawy was featured as a grand representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award.
