▪ DESCRIPTION

APARTMENTS NASIMA – EXTENSION is part of a residential development throughout the State of Kuwait and 4th phase of the architectural chain of NASIMA DEVELOPMENT. The minimal yet intricate sculptural 4 buildings unfold across 1,339.5 sqrm site as an extension to the original Apartments Nasima Compound. Each origami crease, each crevice, and each facet delicately allows for privacy, views, and entries into each of the compound’s additional 8 unit high-end apartments. The pleats and geometry of the building design promotes the idea of shading as it takes responsibility for allowing calculated amount of light just enough to keep the right zones lit with respect to the severe hot climate promoting sustainability and energy saving.

Additionally, keeping in mind the conservative culture of Kuwait, it also endorses privacy by steering each of the unit’s façade away from the direct public views. The pronounced entries of each of the units give a welcoming feeling and provides a chance for users or visitors to enjoy the exit and entry experience.  

Each of the 4 additional buildings contain 2 private apartments with green spaces and outdoor features - a ground floor apartment that contains 4 bedrooms en-suite, kitchen, living space, and all back of house requirements as well as a terrace, the first floor has 3 bedrooms en-suite and a private balcony. Furthermore, the top of each building has a rooftop garden to be enjoyed which expresses the importance of turning wasted spaces into green usable places and a large green offset and parking lot.
