Private Villa, King Salman District, Riyadh, KSA – Interior Design Service

Interior design of a private residential villa in Riyadh comprising four levels — basement, ground floor, first floor and roof annex — on a 360 m² plot. The project followed on from the villa's exterior architectural design for the same owner and used more than one design style: modern classic in the formal areas and Najdi style in the private majlis rooms. A highlight of the project is the glass swimming-pool wall that gives a panoramic view into a Najdi-style multipurpose hall in the basement.

The Project's Engineering Challenges

1. 01 Combining more than one design style within a single villa while maintaining a unified identity and visual harmony.
2. 02 Turning the pool wall into a panoramic glass façade overlooking the basement hall, with the structural solutions and precise waterproofing this requires.
3. 03 Using the Najdi style in modern multipurpose spaces without compromising their function.

The Engineering Solutions Adopted

1. 01 Assigning styles by the nature of each space — modern classic for formal areas and Najdi for the private majlis rooms — with transitional elements linking them.
2. 02 Coordination with the structural and mechanical disciplines to design a safe, waterproofed glass wall giving a panoramic view of the pool from the hall.
3. 03 Reinterpreting Najdi architectural vocabulary with contemporary materials and details suited to the hall's everyday use.
