01 / The concept

Contemporary
authenticity.

A new villa shell in Riyadh, handed over bare, is given a restrained layer of Najdi hospitality: reclaimed railway teak, lime-wash in earth colours, Sadu textiles, carved gypsum, brass and rattan, all under warm concealed light — over the existing marble floors and walnut joinery, so the house feels rooted rather than decorated.

My role

All studies, design development, technical drawings and the BOQ (bills of quantities) for this project were prepared by Mohamed Bider for AMSY Group — the interior and exterior redesign concept, the material and lighting design and the visualisations.

North
Riyadh.

The villa sits in the new Khuzam district in the north of Riyadh, near King Khalid International Airport. It is a private home, so the map shows the district only — the exact address is withheld.

The shell
today.

The site visit of August 2026: a finished but bare shell — marble floors, walnut doors, a timber screen at the stair, white walls and an empty roof and courtyard waiting for a character.

04 / Design studies

Studies.

The house read as layers, a section, a light plan and a zoning study. Select a study.

Exploded axonometric — The villa taken apart: the roof terrace and pergola, the bedroom floor, and the ground floor with majlis, living, kitchen and the pool courtyard.
05 / Materials & colours

Texture.
Light. Character.

Eight materials carry the whole house: reclaimed railway teak, terracotta and sage lime-wash, the existing marble, Sadu textiles, carved gypsum, aged brass and rattan.
