H ouses with names provoke us to look at the buildings they denominate from an emotional as well as an aesthetic perspective, bringing to their formal reality our own subjective associations. A case in point is the Star House in Bnaider, Kuwait, designed by AGi architects, designers also of an urban house in Kuwait City called ���The Secret.��� Both the ���Star��� and the ���Secret��� are forcefully modern houses, but their names point to aura as much as function. A beach house named ���The Star��� inevitably causes readers to think of ���Stella Maris,��� ���Star of the Sea.��� Stars twinkle: the ���Star House��� has a dark and a bright side. HYLAND
