This is one of Jafar Tukan's earliest houses in Amman. It reflects an attempt at re-establishing the traditional stone house in Jordan through both the texture of the stone and its building technique. It is also an attempt at re-introducing traditional urban Jordanian residential forms into the country's contemporary architecture. Structural constructing system is reinforced concrete skeleton with hollow slabs with concrete block infill. All parts were manufactured in-situ, except mechanical and electrical equipment and windows.
