Bahrain House is located in Bahrain’s Hamala area, on a beautiful 4,308 square yard lot, of which 12,700 square feet hold the contemporary construction that you see in the pictures. Beautifully integrated into the landscape, the house has a very specific layout, in which all the important areas are situated at the periphery to take full advantage of the views, light and ventilation. The center is occupied by the service areas, including sanirary ducts, electrical automation rooms, staircases, toilets, storing spaces, etc.
When the construction was still in progress, the family became a little bigger, so the home required a few additions as well. Consequently, MORIQ built another lot of equal size. All main bedrooms can be found on the upper level, while the ground floor is dedicated to the living and socializing areas. The midcellar holds a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a gym and two additional bedrooms, while the home theater is situated in the cellar.
You mention the family grew, yet the text claims the new lot is “equal size.” If the original footprint was 12,700 sq ft, did the new structure match that exactly? Please clarify the total built-up area post-expansion.
Great question! While the plot size remained constant, the new structure expanded vertically with multiple floors. Consequently, the total built-up area significantly exceeds the original 12,700 sq ft footprint, accommodating the growing family’s needs without altering the ground coverage.
