AGi Architects has completed a trio of residential towers in Kuwait City featuring varied façade openings and layouts that provide each apartment with unique sea views. The Tamdeen Square development is part of a new urban district located in the south of the city, next to the Fahaheel highway that extends south along the shore to the border with Saudi Arabia.

AGi Architects, which has offices in Kuwait and in Madrid, Spain, was tasked with designing three 40-story towers that join other high-rise buildings arranged along the highway.

The project, which was initiated by local real estate firm Tamdeen Group, is intended to create a new landmark at the district's eastern border. The mixed-use neighborhood predominantly comprises low-to-medium-rise residential and retail buildings.

The architects explained that the uniform design of the buildings gives them a collective identity within the cityscape, while the internal spaces respond to the importance of privacy in Kuwait.

Each tower contains 120 residential units, which are arranged three per floor across each of the 40 stories. The apartments vary in their layout and aspect, with the rhythm and scale of the façade openings making each one unique. Responding to the need for privacy and separation between the units, three dedicated circulation cores provide semi-private access to the three apartments on each level.
