This architect's house, designed for her family, comes at a turning point in her life and career; a time of personal and spiritual reflection. This 1,100 square-meter house is situated on a 7,000 square meter site of rolling oak hills and serene landscapes located to the west of Amman. The simple yet sophisticated design is based on a succession of complexities and contradictions through an intricate juxtaposition of indoor/outdoor and public/private series of spatial progressions.
