Mahdeya Family Estate

Residential | Multi-Family

Architecture + Interior-Design

28.8 acres

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Anchored by stone walls and cairns, the extended family residences are embraced by two crescents that reach across the land. Reception is centered on the Great Majlis with an open fire; family gatherings are collected in a wedge of rooms spanning the cliff, connected by an inclined lift and a promenade of gardens and pools. The houses are arranged in a fan around a dramatic belvedere, each marked with a luminous wind tower—welcome lanterns in the night.
