Greystone is a house located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The design combines minimalist forms with a close link to nature. Clean lines and a palette of gray stone, matt walnut wood and off white stucco define the exterior. Large double glazed windows bring in natural light and frame landscape views from every room. The ground floor holds the reception, dining and daily living areas, while the bedrooms are placed on the first floor for privacy. An outdoor deck with seating, a pool and a gym extend the living space. Separate entrances serve the family, guests and the garden.
