Al-Makkiyah Residential Villa
Dr.sami Angawi
Location Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Architect/Planner: Sami Angawi
Date :1997
Building Type residential
Building Usage: private residence
Notes
The design of this residence combines modern construction techniques with traditional crafts (such as Turkish mosaic and Moroccan 'zillij') and largely local materials (Coral Sea stone, desert sandstone and granite). Natural ventilation techniques minimise the need for air-conditioning even at the height of summer, while a water-recycling system feeds the plants that are an integral feature of both the central internal courtyard and the roof gardens. The Islamic principle of 'sitr' (ensuring privacy for neighbours as well as inhabitants of the house) is accomplished by using 'rawasheen' bay windows and intricate woodwork over the openings.
