About Greystone Tŷ

Tŷ yw Greystone sydd wedi'i leoli yn Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Mae'r dyluniad yn cyfuno ffurfiau minimalaidd â chysylltiad agos â natur. Mae llinellau glân a phalet o garreg lwyd, pren cnau Ffrengig mat a stwco gwyn naturiol yn diffinio'r tu allan. Mae ffenestri gwydr dwbl mawr yn dod â golau naturiol i mewn ac yn fframio golygfeydd o'r dirwedd o bob ystafell. Mae'r llawr gwaelod yn cynnwys y dderbynfa, yr ystafell fwyta a'r mannau byw dyddiol, tra bod yr ystafelloedd gwely wedi'u lleoli ar y llawr cyntaf er mwyn preifatrwydd. Mae dec awyr agored gyda seddi, pwll nofio a champfa yn ymestyn y gofod byw. Mae mynedfeydd ar wahân yn gwasanaethu'r teulu, gwesteion a'r ardd.
