The Design

About Greystone Haus

Greystone ass en Haus zu Jeddah, Saudi-Arabien. Den Design kombinéiert minimalistesch Formen mat enger enker Verbindung zur Natur. Kloer Linnen an eng Palette aus groem Steen, mattem Nossbaumholz an offwäissem Stuck definéieren d'Baussenäusseres. Grouss duebel verglaste Fënsteren bréngen natierlecht Liicht eran a rummen d'Landschaftsvuen aus all Raum an. Am Rez-de-Chaussée befannen sech d'Receptioun, d'Iesszëmmer an déi alldeeglech Wunnberäicher, wärend d'Schlofzëmmer fir méi Privatsphär um éischte Stack plazéiert sinn. Eng Baussenterrass mat Sëtzgeleeënheeten, ee Pool an ee Fitnessraum erweideren de Wunnraum. Separat Entréeë déngen der Famill, de Gäscht an dem Gaart.
