Abu Nawas
Inspired by the legendary tales of Abu Nawas, a celebrated figure in Arab culture, this house reflects the cleverness and caution that define his character.
In his quest to gather wealth, Abu Nawas approached it with diligence and viewed wealth as a symbol of happiness, joy, and family togetherness.
This sense of caution is evident in the meticulous design, featuring partitions that separate public and private areas. Guests are invited to enter through two layers of long, enclosed corridors. The first corridor welcomes visitors with tall walls adorned with textured stone, softened by lush ivy, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The second corridor, graced with elegant wooden screens, adds warmth before leading into the reception area or foyer, surrounded by a refreshing courtyard.
Another unique aspect can be found at the intersection on the second floor, where a spa and massage room are thoughtfully separated from private areas. Here, attention to detail is paramount; the spa is enveloped in a secondary layer that allows natural light and fresh air to flow in while maintaining visual separation from the surrounding environment. Despite being situated in a densely populated neighborhood, this design creates a tranquil oasis, utilizing elements like wooden screens, water features, and greenery to preserve a sense of nature and harmony with the light and sky.
Abu Nawas House symbolizes the blend of tradition and innovation, offering a comfortable and peaceful space for relaxation and gathering with loved ones.
