Located on the coastline of Saudi Arabia, Ocean Villa is conceived as a contemporary oasis shaped by climate and horizon. The architecture organizes a sequence of elevated platforms and shaded courtyards that frame uninterrupted views of the sea while protecting the interiors from the intensity of the sun.

Water defines the spatial experience: pools and reflective channels flow through the ground level, cooling the microclimate and extending the perception of the ocean into the house. Volumes are carefully recessed to filter light, creating comfortable outdoor living areas throughout the day and ensuring privacy without sacrificing openness.

The material palette remains minimal and mineral, enhancing the contrast between solid surfaces and the surrounding landscape. Roof gardens and planted terraces soften the architecture and act as thermal buffers, transforming the residence into a livable retreat within an extreme environment.

Ocean Villa is not conceived as an isolated object, but as an immersive coastal habitat where shade, breeze and water become architecture.
