Al Faris Hights

Al Faris Heights project is conceived as an architecture of coherence, where structure, material, and spatial logic align without contradiction. The Ground plus eleven-storey residential building employs brick as its primary material, not as cladding but as a defining surface that establishes continuity, depth, and permanence within the urban fabric.

All apartments are designed as corner units, ensuring dual orientation, cross-ventilation, and uninterrupted engagement with the city. The rounded corners resolve the mass into a continuous form, while curved windows extend the interior outward, framing urban views and softening the threshold between inside and outside.

Planters are integrated as spatial devices, separating apartments and introducing vegetation into the vertical fabric. They act as buffers and extensions of living spaces. The project reduces form to necessity, allowing material, light, and geometry to produce a disciplined residential architecture.
