Notes
In villa Abu Rahmi there is an interplay between two different materials, the local natural stone and concrete. This interplay hints the different functions in the villa using the contrast between the pink rough stone and the grey smooth concrete. Narrow slits on the wall surface are used as separating elements between the different parts.
