About Greystone Māja

Greystone ir māja, kas atrodas Džidā, Saūda Arābijā. Dizains apvieno minimālistiskas formas ar ciešu saikni ar dabu. Eksterjeru raksturo tīras līnijas un pelēka akmens, matēta riekstkoka un gandrīz balta apmetuma palete. Lieli dubultstiklojuma logi ielaiž dabisko gaismu un ietver ainavas skatus no katras telpas. Pirmajā stāvā izvietota uzņemšanas zona, ēdamistaba un ikdienas dzīvojamās telpas, savukārt guļamistabas privātuma nodrošināšanai atrodas otrajā stāvā. Āra terase ar sēdvietām, baseins un trenažieru zāle paplašina dzīvojamo telpu. Atsevišķas ieejas paredzētas ģimenei, viesiem un dārzam.
