Sea Home
Sea Home is a conceptual floating residence developed for a Red Sea setting in Saudi Arabia. It examines how domestic space can be organized when water, rather than a conventional plot, defines the relationship between dwelling and surroundings.
Exposure to salt, heat and glare informs the proposal. Orientation, access and the transition between interior and deck are considered alongside the changing light and open horizon of the marine setting.

The project is an architectural exploration of living on water, not a completed marine installation. Buoyancy, anchoring, servicing and environmental impact require specialist assessment before the concept could proceed toward construction.
A circular deck organizes the residence around an open perimeter. The raised triangular roof gives the composition its sail-like profile, while the interior and external living areas are arranged beneath and around this element.
The model studies separate the roof, occupied floor and supporting base so that their relationships can be read individually. This layered representation explains the architectural arrangement without presenting a resolved marine engineering system.
Views of individual dwellings and groups of units explore different settings for the same idea. Access, privacy and the distance between homes would need to be resolved for a specific site, along with the services that connect a floating residence to everyday life.
Sea Home uses the domestic scale to investigate a broader architectural question: how a dwelling might maintain a sense of enclosure and belonging while remaining exposed to an open marine horizon.
