About Greystone Taigh

'S e taigh a th' ann an Greystone a tha suidhichte ann an Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Tha an dealbhadh a' cothlamadh chruthan mion-mheudail le ceangal dlùth ri nàdar. Tha loidhnichean glana agus pailead de chlach ghlas, fiodh cnò-gheanmnaidh neo-ghleansach agus stucco bàn-gheal a' mìneachadh an taobh a-muigh. Bidh uinneagan mòra le glainne dhùbailte a' toirt a-steach solas nàdarra agus a' frèamadh seallaidhean den chruth-tìre bho gach seòmar. Air an làr ìseal tha na raointean fàilteachaidh, ithe agus beòshlaint làitheil, agus tha na seòmraichean-cadail air a' chiad làr airson prìobhaideachd. Tha deic a-muigh le àite-suidhe, amar-snàimh agus taigh-spòrs a' leudachadh an àite-còmhnaidh. Tha dorsan fa leth a' frithealadh an teaghlaich, aoighean agus a' ghàrraidh.
