Structure Type
An earthen retreat guided by sun, shade, and timeless geometry.
“Shaped by sun and silence, grounded in earth and time.”
Set within the monumental desert landscape of AlUla, Zahra is a contemporary courtyard residence rooted in ancient spatial logic. The home is composed around shade, enclosure, and controlled openness, allowing the desert environment to be experienced without being overwhelming.
Completed in 2022, Zahra reflects a modern interpretation of regional architecture — thick earthen walls, low horizons, and interior spaces designed to remain cool, calm, and protected throughout the day.
