Akkabi Resdience

Amman, Jordan

The site is nestled on a hill that overlooks the majestic view of the Abdoun Valley stretching below and the modern suspended Abdoun bridge in the distance. To capture this view completely, the façade incorporates large windows that overlook the negative edge of the pool, which further leads the eye to magnificent vista ahead. The house at the street level displays a deceptive alliance with the human scale, appearing only one storey high, but the gently sloping site incorporates more floors below and yet maintains the elegance of the scale of the front façade.
