The concept was inspired by the geography of the area surrounding the project. Located in Taif, a city known for its mountainous terrain, the project draws influence from these iconic landmarks. The mountains not only shaped the design but also contribute through their regular form to the functionality and structure of the project.

Design of apartments & Rooftop villa

Area: 500 sq m

My team and I designed this project as a requirement for the Working Drawing Course Studio. The design follows the local Taif architectural style and features a terrace for each apartment, providing complete privacy. The project consists of five residential apartments and a rooftop villa. We then converted the project drawings into Working drawings.
