Project Description
Dubbed “The Disk House,” the design of this circular, see-through residence, came as a response to the Covid lockdown. The concept of the Disk House is to have 360 degrees views, with no sharp corners and no obstructive columns.
“Being locked down for so many months now, made me realize how important the connection with the exterior is – and how much a glazed surface can do for you.
Transparency is immaterial; therefore your space always feels much larger and it creates a positive mental psyche,” says Karim.
Fully glazed, both the architecture and interior design flow freely in this curved home. The central column not only creates the overall support, but also runs all electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing, and technology.
The two bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom house expands over 200 square meters and two floors. Outside, a circular pool delineates the house, adding to the fresh environment.
