The house concists of a closed slab, facade, referring to tradition, this slab contains all service spaces. The dome breaks from this “traditional” slab through an open gallery, a hallway which gazes into the light. All eyes are to be pulled up to the light, almost blinding, to clear out thoughts and lead friends into the world of the family.

The well known city walls of Al-Diriyah inspire us for the traditional Arab facade and customs, from which the rest of the house brakes.
