This Post I would like to highlight an old Building (Museum Currently); which used to be owned by the Ruling family in Dubai "Al Maktoum Family".
When I firstly visited this house I was surprised from the big court yard in the centre of the house, specially with a weather very hot like Dubai's weather; however the study of the wind directions and the orientation of the building reflects a very comfortable outdoor area in the centre courtyard.
This house was built back in 1896, Now it is opened for photographers and painters seeking the traditional architecture styles of Dubai.
I would like to leave you with the photos which is worth 1,000 words.
When I started bloging about architecture in Dubai; I am Quite sure that the first things that comes to everyone's mind the humongous Projects, the newest enterprises and distinctive Architecture.
Without Going into much of Details I would like to go through several landmark Projects from the prospective of an architect who were close to such edifice.
Madinat Jumeirah
I have chosen this Project to start with as it has an ancient Arab's Architecture, feels like old Arabic Market with the style of buildings all with the Sistrum above the buildings.
The Project was Designed by Creative Kindom Inc. and DSA Architects serving as Architect of Record.
The Project Consists of three boutique hotels; Al Qasr "The Palace" Hotel, Mina A'Salam Hotel and Dar Al Masyaf; Arabic summerhouses located around the resort grounds with views of the private beach and gardens.
The Resort accommodates several facilities, and various dining options, with over 40 restaurants ranging from casual to signature dining, with some world renowned restaurants.
