A three-wing villa in Abu Dhabi is organized around a central courtyard that structures space and privacy.
The project interprets Arabic culture and architectural elements through a contemporary design approach. The spatial concept is based on a three-wing geometry that defines a semi-public inner courtyard, conceived as a climatic and social core adapted to the environmental conditions of the site.
Semi-solid walls play a central role in the architectural composition. Inspired by traditional Arabic ornamentation and reinterpreted through parametric design strategies, these elements modulate air flow, daylight, and shadow while articulating a sequence of private, public, and hybrid spaces.
Through the interplay of geometry, material, and light, the project establishes a clear architectural identity that balances cultural reference with contemporary spatial performance.
