DESIGN NAME: Basalt
PRIMARY FUNCTION: House
INSPIRATION: What inspired me the most for this design was the Ancient Romans' architectures built in southern Syria.
Despite the simplicity of its architectural design, it is still imposing its prestige and charms, while continues to be very impressive for viewers. In my opinion, I believe that we are longing for simple and uncomplicated designs at times when modern designs have become a commodity.
The basalt stone with its hardness, unique properties and dark color was the main inspiration for my project.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The BASALT house is a house located in the southern part of Syrian Arab Republic. It is located at an altitude higher than 1100 meters above sea level amid a dense forest of oaks.
This house combines both past and present architecture, with its simple exterior, sharp angles and unique combination of distinct material. Blending ancient architecture using basalt and oak wood with renewed creative ideas merging from this historical era.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research was done by using the internet and observing firsthand the designs built in my hometown in Southern Syria.
The main objective was to blend the popular architecture built in southern Syria under the Roman Empire with unique up to date architecture with a creative touch from the past and present designs.
Methodology for my project was mainly looking at the popular Roman architecture and studying their details to find ways to combine in with today's different interests of people.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part that I had to face was combining the popular architecture built in Southern Syria under the Roman Empire with today's simple comfortable creative design, using the latest technology yet keeping it elegant and interesting to viewers.
