Set on a generous 3,770 m² plot in Al-Qatif, the residence was designed around an H-shaped floor plan delivered by others. The brief for the exterior was to give that plan a quiet, unmistakable presence — restrained at the street, generous toward the garden, and consistent across two very different outdoor lives. A private pool courtyard at the center of the H sits opposite a wider garden with a tennis court and a separate guest wing. The exterior's role was to hold both worlds in the same calm, considered language.

The street-facing facade is reduced to a single move: a tall recessed portal, framed and unmistakable, set against otherwise unbroken white volumes. The garden side opens up — a cantilevered upper volume rests on diagonal supports above a covered terrace. At the heart of the plan, the private courtyard is treated as a quiet outdoor room: a still pool, a single pine, a louvered ceiling that screens the sun without closing it out, and a stone accent wall that grounds the otherwise white palette. Materially, the project commits to restraint — white render, dark fenestration, blackened steel, a single stone, and the planting doing the rest.
