As you approach the Sahu Villa, two walls, curved and devoid of windows - a seemingly demure structure - and textured by local stone applied in the "ras" technique, are punctuated by a single door; (a stark opposite to the house's opposite with abstract white architectural forms.) On these walls, local stone is employed judiciously, applied on an unusual formation of curved walls; they embody a thoughtful interpretation and reinvention of tradition and anchor the building within its context, offering a critical response to the pursuit of authenticity currently resonating in the Gulf.
