The Sawaber Project was initiated as part of the
National Housing Authority of Kuwait to provide housing in the city to
encourage families to reside in the capital's centre. The site consists
of approximately 24.5 hectares and is surrounded by existing mixed-use
development with a 3.5 ha cemetery in the centre. The medium density and
medium rise residential community was planned for approximately 5 000 people
in 900 units for average income families. The east-west orientation minimizes
the harsh effects of the sun and sandstorms, while giving the project a defined
urban form, community, and visual privacy.
