The Zen Villa, designed by Fikrr Architects is a stunning home in Wafra agriculture, Kuwait. This masterpiece, completed in 2024, seamlessly integrates modern minimalism with traditional Kuwaiti elements, creating a unique living experience that honors the region’s architectural heritage. Surrounded by palm trees and horse barns, the villa features full-width windows in each room, offering unobstructed views of the landscape and the equestrian life around. The interior design, led by Noura Almoued, uses a palette inspired by the desert, incorporating hues of yellow, beige, and green to harmonize with the natural environment.
The Zen Villa’s innovative design includes a swimming pool positioned adjacent to the horse arena, allowing residents to enjoy serene water views while observing the majestic Arabian horses in training. This thoughtful layout creates a seamless blend between architecture and the equestrian ambiance, enhancing the connection to nature. The open kitchen in the living area provides panoramic views, making it perfect for entertaining or family meals against a backdrop of natural beauty. Air conditioning units are discreetly integrated into the design, maintaining clean surfaces and optimal climate control without compromising the villa’s minimalist aesthetic.
Fikrr Architects have prioritized sustainability and energy efficiency in the Zen Villa’s design. The uncluttered roof minimizes heat absorption, crucial for Kuwait’s hot climate, while recessed lighting and concealed air conditioning units contribute to energy efficiency. The villa showcases superior craftsmanship with all woodworks crafted by Fikrr Wood Carpentry and high-end finishes from manufacturers like Focus-fireplaces, SNOC, and Som Interior. As a model for sustainable, nature-integrated living, Zen Villa redefines luxury by honoring cultural traditions while embracing modern comforts.
