About Greystone Teach

Is teach é Greystone atá lonnaithe in Jeddah, an Araib Shádach. Cuireann an dearadh foirmeacha íostacha le chéile le nasc dlúth leis an dúlra. Sainmhíníonn línte glana agus pailéad de chloch liath, adhmad gallchnó neamhlonrach agus stucó bánbhuí an taobh amuigh. Tugann fuinneoga móra le gloiniú dúbailte solas nádúrtha isteach agus frámaíonn siad radhairc ar an tírdhreach ó gach seomra. Tá an fháiltiú, an t-ithlann agus na limistéir mhaireachtála laethúla ar an mbunurlár, agus tá na seomraí leapa suite ar an gcéad urlár ar mhaithe le príobháideachas. Cuireann deic lasmuigh le suíocháin, linn snámha agus giomnáisiam leis an spás maireachtála. Freastalaíonn bealaí isteach ar leith ar an teaghlach, ar aíonna agus ar an ngairdín.
