Greystone House

Greystone

Greystone is a house located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The design combines minimalist forms with a close link to nature. Clean lines and a palette of gray stone, matt walnut wood and off white stucco define the exterior. Large double glazed windows bring in natural light and frame landscape views from every room. The ground floor holds the reception, dining and daily living areas, while the bedrooms are placed on the first floor for privacy. An outdoor deck with seating, a pool and a gym extend the living space. Separate entrances serve the family, guests and the garden.

Greystone House by Ahmed Habib has been selected as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Greystone House won the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2025. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition which honors excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
