Located on the coast of the Red Sea and to the west of Mecca, Jeddah has stood out since the 7th century for its important port, which has turned the city into a neuralgic and multicultural point with a historic center declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. In the midst of this unique setting, the MESURA architecture studio has built Villa AM, a single family home that unites tradition and modernity with furniture supplied by Lifra Contract by Idees.
MESURA has developed this formidable project keeping the traditional country construction and rethinking the way of living it. Incorporating a new typology of architecture in the Saudi city, Villa AM maintains the balance of the Arab house as a private sanctuary and with a certain character of a public meeting, transforming the characteristic structure into a “U” shape.
The house retains the division of spaces of the Arab culture between guests, family and staff and has an “L” shaped structure that allows maintaining the visual privacy through the strategic location of doors and windows and, at the same time, promotes social relations between the various inhabitants. In addition, MESURA has chosen to incorporate patios and openings to achieve dark, fresh and welcoming spaces, which make ecological and energy efficiency possible.
An unprecedented work that has large windows that interact with light and shadow of the day and the seasons of the year, thus creating true paintings with unique palettes within each room and allowing natural light to be enjoyed throughout the day. Light plays an important role in the interior design of Villa AM which, together with the furniture supplied by Lifra Contract by Idees, creates an environment of calm and serenity.
wooden furniture transport the warmth of nature inside this home minimalist lines which, combined with raw, white and gray details, create the perfect balance. Straight tables combine with chairs with wavy lines, curtains and lights rounded providing dynamism and movement in each room.
Villa AM is the result of five years of study, projection and immersion in a new city, construction and local culture. An exceptional work of architecture and interior design by MESURA that reinvents the construction history of the country, generating a unique home that listens and respects the environment and promotes human relationships within the home.
