SAMAM House: Residential Architecture and Interior Design

The open-plan living and dining area is designed as a large, double-height volume. An exposed concrete beam and ceiling contrast with white walls, while large windows connect the space to the exterior garden.

This wide view shows how the dining area, foyer, and central courtyard flow into one another. The upper-level windows and clerestory lighting further enhance the sense of volume and light within the main living block.

The central courtyard, viewed from the dining area, acts as the home's focal point. The design uses the swing and tree to create a dynamic yet peaceful core that connects the different functional zones of the house.

The main entrance opens to a shaded walkway and patio, immediately establishing a connection with the outdoors. The clear glass and wood framing provide a transparent threshold between the garden and the interior foyer.
