Islamic building exteriors have always been renowned for their meticulous and symmetrical geometry, whereas modernity is represented by stark surfaces and clean lines. The CAS design team artfully merged these two aspects in the design of this white modern Islamic villa exterior design in Jeddah, KSA. The intricate mashrabah’s are framed by elegant pointed arch windows, and the tall order of the entrance is designed in the image of the ‘iwan.’ However, the traditional aspect of this villa exterior is balanced out with the clean geometry and austere white color scheme articulated with stone. Together, these two styles evoke a dichotomous aesthetic that captures the Islamic culture and gives the overall exterior a solid identity at the same time.
