Wafra Living

Project / Development

The Wafra Living residential complex, located in Jabriya Kuwait is 6468 m2, offering three categories of rented apartments, the difference between them lies from the quality of finishes, type of facilities and their size. This type of exclusivity allows for a greater return on investment while at the same time breaking down the scale of the complex making it more personal to the individual resident. It is in this experience that AGi architects aim to create a quality environment that differs from other residential developments in Kuwait, and is based on both international and regional cultural influences. To achieve this, the conception of a distinct “framework” and identity for Wafra Living has been pursued as one of the principal objectives. Privacy, natural light and communal spaces One of the main objectives of the design is not only to maximize the privacy for the tenant community, but also to allow abundant natural light to enter, and the creation of both interior and exterior communal spaces. The success of this lies in an L-shaped building which follows the edge of the street at its north and east boundaries, and a high-rise block at the rear, enhancing the definition of the more private back street. Openings in the front facade have been made, providing better views from the apartments situated on the lower levels of the rear tower. At the same time, the facades adjacent to the neighboring buildings have been completely closed off, blocking undesirable views and increasing privacy for the tenants. To improve public/private relationships in this vertical development, the ground floor is open to the surrounding neighborhood using a 316 m2 commercial zone. The necessary security controls are ensured through access points related to specific parts of the building. As for vehicle access, there are three points of entry located around the plot to reduce the traffic during rush hour times. Elevated square, gardens, open spaces and facades protected by a “veil” The mezzanine level has been placed at six meters above the ground level – A High Square – as an elevated ground floor community space for the tenants. The decision to raise it was based on the need to create a safe social gathering space that acts as a buffer from the busy street. It will also minimize the noise and create a private communal space for the families. It is here that the swimming pools, gymnasium and sporting facilities can be found. On a lower level, there is a multi-purpose hall. This space can be completely open to the public, totally private or a combination of both. It is the only space where the community has a direct connection with the street. Apart from the Elevated Public Square, various gardens and vertical open spaces have been designed which provide various gathering areas for the community and to bring in ample light into the different units. The Viewing Point, on the edge of the L-shaped building, is a large opening in the facade providing the rear tower apartments with views. The Sky Deck is an open-air roof garden with a mini golf course and may be used in winter for leisure activities. Alternatively, the Gym Terrace is a more private space, catering specifically to the user needs of this part of the building. As one ascends through the building, the access to the communal zones becomes restricted according to the apartment category. The network of stairways and outer platforms, help to connect these spaces and can be used as pathways, protected by a “veil”, for walking or exercise. This “veil” is a unifying element throughout the project which is perceived more as a constructed space with various uses rather than an aesthetic facade cladding. It defines the whole complex starting from the first floor, and spreading like ivy both vertically and horizontally complementing the rest of the facade. The “veil” has been placed in the L-shaped building, which allows the positioning of the main living spaces of the apartments to face the street, while the service areas – kitchens, bathrooms etc – face the inner courtyard. The Veil rises at the inner facades, climbing over the roof terrace to encompass various communal facilities. It offers the apartments at the rear greater privacy, and better views for the apartments facing it.

Wafra Living

General

The design for the “Wafra Living” complex, consists of a high rise building set back from the street and an L-shaped building defining the street edge, conceived to maximize privacy within the community, whilst providing ample natural light and usable indoor and outdoor common spaces. Cuts have been made in the front building in order to provide better views for the lower floor apartments in the back tower. The proposal combines at different levels domestic and collective scales, private and public, within the complex, whilst at the same time traces the way to merge in the neighborhood by offering part of the ground floor level (where the pedestrian and car access are) to community life through the retail facilities included. At level +6.00 m is created a “High Square”, a community space for the tenants to enjoy sports or any other leisure activities in a more private environment. A “veil” climbs the façade as an occupiable layer that conceals the various service spaces within the apartments that do not directly relate to the public. It also hosts the fire escape stairs, separated away from the cores to be placed in this secondary circulation layer that faces the inner courtyard of the complex.
