The Design

About Greystone Bahay

Ang Greystone ay isang bahay na matatagpuan sa Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Pinagsasama ng disenyo ang mga minimalistang anyo at malapit na ugnayan sa kalikasan. Ang malilinis na linya at paleta ng kulay-abong bato, matte na kahoy na walnut at off-white na stucco ang bumubuo sa panlabas na anyo. Ang malalaking double-glazed na bintana ay nagpapapasok ng natural na liwanag at nagbibigay-tanaw sa magagandang tanawin mula sa bawat silid. Sa ground floor matatagpuan ang reception, kainan at mga pang-araw-araw na lugar ng pamumuhay, habang ang mga silid-tulugan ay inilagay sa unang palapag para sa pribasiya. Ang isang panlabas na deck na may upuan, pool at gym ay nagpapalawak ng espasyo ng pamumuhay. May magkakahiwalay na pasukan para sa pamilya, mga bisita at sa hardin.
