A Shalaih in Kuwait

I got these pictures by email and I was impressed by this very nicely designed shalaih. It looks more like a resort then a shalaih, it is modern and I think they did an amazing job with the landscape design, very simple and making it clean and beautiful. The overall lighting scheme of the places is very nice, especially the pool at night. It seems to have three living rooms, I’m not sure why but it doesn’t look like they took pictures of the whole place. Even the Z4 in those pictures looks really nice with that lighting.

    That Chalet’s architect is Aziz AlHumaidhi (NAJEEB ALHUMAIDHI ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY)and the interior design was by Farah AlHumaidhi (Interior Art). The concept was to have a chalet in Julai3a that compromised of 3 different buildings. In other words, this chalet is actually 3 separate chalets connected together in one structure. BTW the BMW belongs to the architect who also enjoys photography! ;o)

    First .. Mashalla oo allah yehaneehom :p

    Second I love the clean, Modern look .. But i really don’t feel it’s suitable for living cause it looks more like a display rooms instead of the actual! with couple of tweaks, this will look like Heaven on earth! overall Mashalla 3ajeeb :)

    Mashalla :) beautiful.. I like the exterior more than the interior, the interior kinda makes the place look a bit smaller..
    The pool! I want!

    I saw this chalet, it’s in Bnaider, not Jlaia’a
