rH1 is an extended version of RESIDENTIAL NASIMA project as a commission from the client to continue with the same essence of the idea. The residential development over a plot of 1500 sqrm, contains two separate units that speak to each other regarding its form and function, the only difference is it’s developed to be a more porous villas to accommodate the nicer views close to the main road, a roof garden, and a more open feeling as its close to the beach in a more open space. With that being said, the privacy and public characteristics are still in control. The mesh porosity that has been developed to accommodate such, went through testing with relation to the amount of sun light in, human view and its gradual attachment to the concrete to have it show as an integrated part of the construction. The long front offset also helps a gradual entry to the premise with a continuous greenery that plays a role in accommodating a seamless parking hidden around it, and of course that also gives a richer gesture as part of the whole project proposal.
