Tneib House / Abdel Qader Tarabieh Architecture

Hana Abdel — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The House emerges as a quiet, introverted sanctuary, turning inward from the street and shielding its interior world from public view. From outside, it presents as a sequence of low stone walls, solid and continuous, almost monolithic beneath a concrete slab. These walls do not merely enclose; they define a threshold where the rhythms of the home unfold in measured silence. The design draws from local, historical, and Islamic architecture, where inward-facing courtyards and enclosed spaces invite reflection and stillness.

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.

The design of Kawni Early Learning Centre is inspired by the dynamic, continuous nature of a human being's learning journey. The central design element is an orange curve, symbolizing the unending path of growth and knowledge, which begins in early childhood and extends throughout life. This curve visually captures the idea that learning is infinite; you never see the beginning or the end of this journey.

Minor Paradises / studiolibani + #civilarchitectureorg

Hana Abdel — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 20:00:00 +0000

In a reality where water is short or inaccessible, how do we conceive of our public spaces? How do we re-imagine the idea of a garden in a time of drought and in a cultural context where the garden, in its abundance of water and lush vegetation, is in itself a manifestation of ‘Paradise’?

H Saket House / Sahel AlHiyari Architects

Hana Abdel — Sun, 24 May 2020 11:00:00 +0000

The site is located in the growing suburb of Dabouq to the north of Amman, renowned for its wealth of native oaks. It is a single family house built on a total site area of 1,981sq meters. The project endeavors to create a dialogue between topography and architecture by its formal and spatial response to the sloping landscape. This relationship is characterized by organizing the plan of the house around one continuous movement that creates a rectangular shape with a centralized courtyard. One side resting on the ground and the other one is entirely elevated above the slope of the site.

K. Barghouti House / Sahel AlHiyari Architects

Kama Local Gourmet - the showroom / Dina Haddadin

Hana Abdel — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 05:00:00 +0000

For a special local thriving brand, selling the highest quality culinary products from the Middle East, ‘Kama local gourmet’ the showroom was open to the public last November to offer their clients a variety of products under a spatial communal experience. The 1940s old building was renovated to house the offices and main showroom of “Kama” in Amman, Jordan. The main street front was opened up to expose the space inside through a long stretch transparent glass and metal façade that also retracts to connect the interior with the exterior front garden for future public events, making the space more visually and physically accessible. A long black steel canopy accentuates the architectural intervention creating a duality between the old, modest-scale stone and the new, full span contemporary cold steel sheets that shapes the cantilever canopy beams. The canopy also plays as the ribbon for the cut-out logo that is subtly inner lit.

Nico Saieh — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The airport has a highly efficient passive design, which has been inspired by local traditions, and is based on a flexible modular solution that allows for future expansion – the new building secures the city’s position as the main hub for the Levant region and allows the airport to grow by 6 per cent per annum for the next twenty-five years, increasing capacity from 3.5 million to 12 million passengers per annum by 2030.

Vy Gym / Symbiosis Designs LTD

Andrew Rosenberg — Thu, 05 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Vy Complex is the largest, most comprehensive and most progressive sport facility in the Middle East. Conceptually the spaces and their configuration build up on the notion of energy and well-being, enforced through several internal dynamics such as exchange of natural light and scenographic visual connections, many of which reveal kinetic movements.

Abu Samra House / Symbiosis Designs LTD

Andrew Rosenberg — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The first impression with which the Abu Samra house receives the viewer relates to its use of materials and color. By rejecting the conventional use of stone in Amman, and by extending both its textures and the whitish tones associated with most examples of this material in Amman.
