Facade elevation -- a contemporary mashrabiya lattice in geometric timber

The Talal Hisawi project is a dialogue between two architectural traditions.

The exterior facade was redesigned around a contemporary mashrabiya -- a geometric timber lattice that references the traditional Islamic shading device while achieving a thoroughly modern architectural presence. This cultural conversation continues inside: the living spaces adopt the material language of Moroccan craft -- zellige tilework, carved plasterwork and handwoven textiles -- embedded within a contemporary spatial framework designed for twenty-first century family life in Kuwait.
