Like many of Kayan’s projects, the aspiration behind the design of Beaufort Villa is taken from the clients themselves; here it was the request for a Private Haven.
Located in Al-Mansouriya area in Kuwait, Beaufort Villa is a secluded sanctuary emphasizing the need for a private refuge. With privacy as the ultimate necessity, the design team worked on incorporating all the elements within the walls of the project, rather than around it.
The interior functions revolve around the indoor pool, which is surrounded by colonnades and screens to frame certain views and to give rise to certain moods depending on where the space is perceived. The cladding materials of stone and wood and their subsequent textures, as well as the lighting were precisely laid out and designed in order to give the project a different perception and ambience depending on the time of day and the intensity of light.
The final result is a solitude that conveys both sturdiness on the outside, while maintaining the harmony and serenity on the inside.
