Teahouses: a series of design tryouts where the building acts as an attempt to
assess ideas, techniques and materials. Without the need for a client to commend
the end result, it is a rich ground to put to test what I feel about architecture and

to push the boundries of this experience farther. The city of
Jeddah is where all these Teahouses are presumably located.----------------------------------Teahouse III: In this design I explore the effect of the irregular on a regular arrangement with a
variatiation in the degree of space definition and the impact of the facade
frontality on the outdoor space defined with just steps, low bounderies and
black stone seating, the immerging of the traditional and the contemporary in the
built structure and its articulation where wooden installations derived from traditional
roshans combined with Graffiti as a contemporary art form. The element of
water was introduced in the form of a pool and four fountations.
