Oman House | Gorkem Volkan Design Studio

Palaces are defined by luxury, grandiose proportions and inherent
style; this description definitely applies to this neoclassical palace
design in Maskat, Oman. Palatial in its beauty and classic style, the
exterior facade of this palace follows the principles of classic design
where achieving perfection in proportion is of vital importance. Beige
colored marble cladding for exterior walls is embellished with stucco
molding, which aids in breaking up the monolithic facade as well as
defining the levels in the two-story facade.
The front entrance to this palatial villa is framed by two pairs of slender
columns with fluted shafts and ornate capitals that bear the load of the
upper level. Designed with additional height to enhance visual impact,
the columns are perfectly proportioned and designed to highlight the
grand entrance.
Curbside appeal is greatly enhanced by a tall, delicate wrought iron
gate with an open design to give passersby a peek into the magnificent
landscape beyond.Equally spaced and carefully proportioned arched
windows on the upper level, create an appealing rhythm, which is
further emphasized by the accompanying row of lower level rectangular
windows. The visually pleasing proportions and artful placement of
windows adds a timeless beauty and charm to the exterior façade of this
palatial villa.
