Spain- and Kuwait-based practice AGi Architects, headed by co-founders Joaquin Perez-Goicoechea and Nasser B. Abulhasan, are the brains behind this minimal, family house in Kuwait's Shuwaikh B area Photographer: Nelson Garrido

西班牙和科威特的阿吉建筑师事务所(由共同创始人Joaquin Perez-Goicoechea和Nasser b.Abulhasan领导)是科威特SHUWAIKH B地区这座最小的家庭住宅背后的大脑。这座房子位于城市郊区，坐落在一系列独立的独栋房屋中。这种居住的城市环境，以及当地的气候和隐私限制，都是房子最终设计的关键。挑战是满足这些要求，但同时帮助建筑物保持与周围城市的视觉联系。为了适应沙漠气候，建造的房屋之间的距离很小，导致房屋之间的阴影空间。其结果是，一所房子显然与街道不同，因为它的当代形状，是私人的，但仍然友好和社交。这些形状是为了创造通道和隐藏在里面的区域-使房子的名字，秘密屋。然而，根据客户的具体要求，这些卷也向城市开放了美好的景色。这所房子更多的公共区域位于一楼和入口处附近。最上面的特色是一个阴影和精心美化的露台，居民可以享受城市的天际线，而不被看到。

Located in the suburbs of the city, the house sits among a string of detached single-family houses. This residential urban context, as well as the local climatic and privacy restrictions, were all key to the house's final design Photographer: Nelson Garrido

The shapes were composed so as to create passages and hidden areas within – giving the house its name, the Secret House. However, the volumes also open up to wonderful views towards the city, as per the client's specific request  Photographer: Nelson Garrido
