It seems like a fortress, in Khaldiya, Kuwait, but in fact it's a house, the Wall House, concealed behind the stone facade, with four open air terraces.
Designed by AGi Architects, based on Lewis Carroll tale, as they refer, the Wall House was thought as a shelter to protect a family in their shell, but simultaneously creating a freedom sensation from the inside out.
With a solid and close facade the several openings, creating gardens and terraces on the three floors, provide natural light allowing its inhabitants enjoy their privacy and high level brightness.
This house reflects the lifestyle that this family wants, the feeling of freedom enclosed in walls, shared in their "own private luminous oasis".
