Areia 6
Residential

2021

Situated on a trapezoidal plot that narrows towards the coastline in Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City, Areia 6 aims at optimizing sea views and daylight in as many social and intimate spaces as possible, while also prioritizing privacy and creating shaded exterior areas. By organizing the program spaces around courtyards and lifting them off the ground plane, the coastal frontage is effectively increased, allowing the views to penetrate deeper into the site.

A floating volume housing the two main ensuite bedrooms is situated over a covered exterior patio and pool at the water's edge. Visual and spatial continuity is achieved through the glass-enclosed living and dining areas, which open onto a patio beyond, where two additional ensuite bedrooms are located. Service areas are located in a block on the roadside of the site.

The primary entrance to the chalet is along an exterior corridor that runs between the western lot wall and a ground-detached staircase, which links the main structure with the floating bedrooms above. Complementing the exterior is a spiral staircase to the east, providing access to a roofscape with panoramic views across the site.
