The Design
About Greystone Hus
Greystone er et hus som ligger i Jeddah, Saudi-Arabia. Designet kombinerer minimalistiske former med en nær tilknytning til naturen. Rene linjer og en palett av grå stein, matt valnøtttre og offwhite stukk definerer eksteriøret. Store vinduer med dobbeltglass slipper inn naturlig lys og rammer inn landskapsutsikten fra hvert rom. Første etasje rommer resepsjon, spisestue og daglige oppholdsområder, mens soverommene er plassert i andre etasje for å ivareta privatlivet. En utendørs terrasse med sittegrupper, et basseng og et treningsrom utvider oppholdsarealet. Separate innganger betjener familien, gjestene og hagen.
