Residential Building
This project is a residential building designed by OMRAN Design & Engineering Consultancy, based in Sohar, Sultanate of Oman. The client is Mr. Khalfan Bin Ahmed Bin Mohammed Al Shamsi, and the building is located in the Shinas area, specifically in Marir Al Daramkah on plot number 477. The project is designed for a single-story structure intended for residential use. The elevation designs were created by Abu Noor and checked by Eng. Umar, with the drawing done by Abid. The project was completed on July 4th, 2022, and is labeled under project number Jul/2717/2022. The design is drawn to a scale of 1:100 and is referenced as sheet number 03.
The building’s architectural design reflects a blend of modern and traditional elements, resulting in an elegant yet functional space. The facade is the focal point, featuring a circular entrance framed by sleek, tall columns, giving the structure a regal and stately appearance. The use of white as the dominant color across the entire building lends it a timeless and classic aesthetic, while simultaneously giving the structure a modern edge that fits well within the context of contemporary architectural design in the region.
The golden embellishments atop the columns add a touch of luxury and opulence to the design. These decorative touches elevate the aesthetic quality of the building, giving it a rich and grand feel, while still maintaining a sense of elegance and minimalism. The structure is enhanced by large, arched windows, which provide a connection between the interior and exterior spaces by allowing natural light to flood into the home. These windows also serve as a visual feature, contributing to the overall balance and symmetry of the structure.
The entrance of the building is particularly striking. The steps leading up to the circular porch create a sense of elevation and grandeur, drawing attention to the main doors, which are designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The doors themselves are large, with a wooden finish and decorative glass panels that add an extra layer of sophistication to the entrance. The columns supporting the roof of the entrance are not only structural but also serve to enhance the visual appeal of the building, making it stand out from the surrounding architecture.
Architectural Elements and Features
The architectural style of the building reflects a fusion of contemporary design principles with traditional Middle Eastern influences. The large windows are a notable feature, framed with intricate decorative elements that are typical of traditional Omani or Arabic architecture. This attention to detail is seen throughout the exterior design, adding cultural relevance and character to the building. The arches and decorative moldings around the windows contrast beautifully with the otherwise clean lines and simplicity of the building’s shape.
The columns are a key feature of the design, both in terms of their visual impact and their structural purpose. They evoke a sense of classical architecture, reminiscent of Greek and Roman design, while the golden detailing gives them a uniquely Omani touch. This mixture of different architectural styles – modern, classical, and traditional Arabic – gives the building a distinctive character that would make it a standout in any neighborhood.
Landscaping and Exterior Design
The exterior landscaping further enhances the appeal of the building. The use of greenery and flowers around the house creates a welcoming and serene atmosphere. Neatly trimmed shrubs and vibrant flowerbeds line the pathways leading to the entrance, complementing the architectural design by adding a splash of color against the predominantly white exterior. The clean lines of the landscaping reflect the modern architectural elements of the home, while the natural materials and lush greenery tie the design back to nature, creating a harmonious balance between the built environment and its natural surroundings.
In terms of layout, the entrance to the property is spacious, allowing for ease of access and a smooth transition from the exterior to the interior of the home. The steps leading up to the main door are wide and elegant, designed to make the entrance feel grand and imposing without being overwhelming. The use of natural stone for the steps adds an additional layer of texture to the design, complementing the smooth exterior walls and polished finish of the building.
The landscaping not only serves an aesthetic purpose but also enhances the functionality of the space. The well-planned walkways and planting areas ensure that the outdoor space is both visually appealing and practical for the residents. The strategic placement of plants and greenery around the house also helps to create a sense of privacy, shielding the windows and entrances from direct views while still allowing light and air to flow through.
Functional Aspects of the Design
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the design is also highly functional. The use of large windows ensures that the interior spaces are well-lit, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This is not only environmentally friendly but also creates a bright and airy atmosphere inside the home, making it more comfortable for the residents. The layout of the windows also allows for cross-ventilation, helping to keep the interior cool during the hot Omani summers, thereby reducing the reliance on air conditioning.
The single-story layout of the building is practical, especially for residential use. It ensures that all the living spaces are easily accessible, making the home suitable for families of all ages. The open-plan design of the interior, which is hinted at through the large windows, suggests that the layout is likely to be spacious and fluid, with a seamless connection between different rooms and living areas. This kind of layout is ideal for modern living, where flexibility and openness are highly valued.
