H+N House / Kubik Studio

by Hayat

H+N House, designed by Kubik Studio in Meknes city of Morocco, represents a contemporary approach of  the traditional Arabian house by the use of simple forms – the cube shape of the building as minimal entity of geometry and “atom” of architecture – and meeting minimalist architectural criteria.

The architecture here is a process of subtraction from a “whole” rather than a process of adding entities; it is a kind of sculpture by perforating,  cutting, piercing through the material.

The Moroccan traditional mashrabiyah appears reinterpreted so to obtain the essence and spirit of Moroccan architecture in a contemporary, minimalist housing object.
