Late Princess Um Talal Palace – Jeddah

Designed for a total transparent facade overlooking the sea, yet protected from climatic elements, this villa was conceived as a carved solid block of marble, sheltering a playful composition of glass planes capturing in their reflections the sky, the sea and the surrounding gardens.

This unique and uncommon concept of mass and enclosure stands by itself as an architectural sculpture.
