W Horse Stud is a vacation house designed for a 10000 square metre site in the Wafra agricultural area of Kuwait. The house is raised 140 centimetres above the ground to open views over the surrounding horse paddocks. The plan is divided into two axes. One axis holds the horse stable. The other holds the bedrooms, dining area and large living area facing the swimming pool. A 40 metre terrace is shaded by a 3 metre cantilevered roof for protection from the sun and sand. Construction uses insulated lightweight blocks, glass, a concrete structure and a lightweight steel roof.
