Micro City
Kuwait City
CONTEXT
Micro City is a commissioned urban design study in Kuwait City developed for the National Bank of Kuwait, addressing the challenge of delivering large quantities of housing within a predominantly automobile-oriented suburban context. The commission asked how urban growth might be restructured to support civic life, spatial clarity, and long-term adaptability, while responding to existing cultural anchors embedded within the site.

DESIGN INTENT
The design positions the masterplan as a walkable urban framework composed of interlinked neighbourhoods. Mosques are treated as civic and social anchors, generating a clear organisational logic that structures movement, landscape, and residential density. Working through repetition and variation, the proposal establishes a coherent system capable of accommodating diversity without losing formal discipline.
RESOLUTION AND OUTCOME
The project resolves as a flexible family of architectural typologies embedded within a legible neighbourhood structure. Urban form, public space, and housing operate as a unified framework, supporting phased delivery, social proximity, and spatial clarity across city, district, and residential scales.
