Villa Taher al-'Umari Bey

Fayyum, Egypt

"This villa (often listed as 'Bek', a misreading of the honorific 'Bey') was intended for a site in Sidmant al-Gabal in the Fayyum, and exhibits more dramatic evidence of a change in Fathy's philosophy toward a more localized architecture. The long, linear plan is characterized by a malkaf and qa'a facing out into a walled formal garden, at the centre of the house." (construction not verified)
