RCR Arquitectes shapes Alwah House, a 900-square-meter dwelling, as a cluster of curved, shaded volumes partially embedded into the desert on the outskirts of Dubai. The home turns to the natural logics of a flower and an oasis as its two main references. The architects carve a hollow in the sand to retain water and vegetation, creating a microclimate where light, wind, shade, and filtered views guide the spatial experience.
