Mood & Style

Palette

Materials

• Walls — layered rammed earth and hand-trowelled mud plaster
• Floors & paving — honed travertine and natural limestone
• Timber — dark wood beams, doors and screens carved with Najdi triangles
• Metal — brushed brass handles, lanterns and coffee ware; slim bronze glazing frames
• Textiles — natural linen with Sadu weaving in red and black
• Landscape — date palms, sidr / acacia shade trees, desert grasses, natural lawn

Style principles

• Najdi geometry — triangle motifs on parapets, doors, beams and screens
• Deep, shaded openings — small windows outside, big glass only toward courtyards and lawn
• Warm grazing light — hidden LED washes on earth walls; lanterns, never bright fittings
• Water & shade — courtyards with sāqiya channels, palms and quiet seating
• Hidden comfort — glazing, cooling and solar present but never on show
