Villa Al Attas

Designed around an internal court in the tradition of the Arab Omayade houses, this villa recalls a main feature of the old dwellings of Jeddah: The musharrabiya motif, an integrate lattice wooden work guarding the intimacy of the house and protecting its fenestrations from the heat of the sun.
The villa, with its white washed walls forming a background to the wooden motif, stands ageless within its environment.
