Nicknamed the “Rainbow House,” this home was built in the 1960s in Sharq, nearby to the House of Amin. I included it in my list of “then & nows”. It appears to be currently unoccupied.
The old photographs come from the flickrs of Verity Cridland and Brett Jordan and this collection of slides from 1961. You can see other old pictures of Kuwait in the 1960s here.
There are several wonderful accounts that explore the architectural history of Kuwait, including Th9 Neighborhood, Domestic Architecture Kuwait, Noora almusallam. Here are some photographs of the house at different times of day, as well as seen from above in Al Hamra tower.
