The pray area in the center of the house, near the kids living room helps to remind them always of the prayer conception.

Using the idea of the internal courts achieving the optimum environmental orientation inside the house by making the air flow continues inside the house through them.

Dragging the elements of the outside green area into the house achieves the connection between most of the internal spaces with the outside nature.

Orienting the bedrooms area towards the north green area.

The master bedroom area contains an external courtyard facing the green area to achieve an extension for the privacy of the space.

The difference between the house levels provides northern higher openings for some internal spaces.
