Reef Lagoon Miniature Villas, Reef Island, Bahrain
This project, situated on Reef Island, Bahrain, leverages the site's unique coastal lagoon location to create a comfortable microclimate. Thirteen villas are strategically dispersed around the lagoon, each offering beachfront views. The compact villa design ensures unobstructed lagoon views while maintaining individual comfort. Extensive use of sun louvers and canopies protects large glazing areas, regulating light and temperature. Varied rooflines add dynamism to the overall composition. The project aims to generate a unique sensory environment, utilizing architectural strategies to mitigate the harsh climate and cultivate a microclimate that enhances the experience of the residents.
