Villa Mikkawi\r\n\r\n2006, Nablus\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe architect had faced a big challenge; budget. here is where value engineering excels. obviously stone would not be the best choice in terms of cost. Stone facades had been taken as fore-granted in the local architecture. rather than being a drawback, it was a motive to innovate and build-up a new trend by breaking the limits  and go creative. \r\n
