The Design Of This Modern House Placed A Priority On Its Sea Views #ModernHouse #ModernArchitecture

Architecture firm MORIQ have designed this modern home with a huge master suite that sits facing the ocean in Amwaj, Bahrain.

As the house is located on an an ocean facing plot, the home owner’s top request was to make the most of the the sea views, as well as having plenty of space for entertaining friends and family.

Circular details and wooden elements area featured throughout this home. #ModernArchitecture

The home owner’s also wanted the house architecture and interior spaces to be modern, technologically advanced, and seamless.

The rear of the home faces the ocean, allowing for picturesque views from the infinity swimming pool with Jacuzzi or the wooden deck with lounges.

As two large walls run along each side of the home, it was important to the designers to bring as much natural light as possible. They did this by including two internal courtyards with skylights.

To include as much sunlight as possibly into this home, the designers included a large internal courtyard with skylight. #Landscaping #Architecture #Courtyard

The formal lounge room has a minimal line chandelier, with bold red artwork and cushions adding a touch of color.
