Contemporary classic mansion in Saudi Arabia

HOUSE

This incredible mansion designed by Amal Qamber, founder of Atria #design studio, is located in Riyadh, the capital of #saudiarabia. Riyadh is a city known for its huge skyscrapers, strong sandstorms and high temperatures, due to the fact that it is located very close to the desert. When Amal designed this house, she took all these aspects into consideration, so that comfort was a detail that never failed, for this reason this house is built in stone and decorated with beautiful marbles, materials that are more resistant to high temperatures. In #saudiarabia, the upper class community greatly values its culture and expresses it in luxury, eccentricity and gilding. As this house could be no exception, its grandeur is seen not only in its size, but also in its high ceilings, majestic entrance, the gold finishes, the patterns on the walls, and the luxury furniture that has been used. With this project, Amal intends to pass the message that "in #design world we often get faced with seemingly impossible challenged but you always try and find a way to make it work and it is an endless learning process that never stops".

DINING ROOM

The dining room is on the right side of the entrance, a room that despite its neutral colors on the walls and floor is contrasting with the bold dark red and gold of Essential Home's Kerr and Patterson dining chairs. Kerr was inspired by six-time Oscar nominee Deborah Kerr, this unique dining chair in partnership with Masquespacio embraces the lead role in this fun and modern product selection due to its innovative shapes and multiple customization options. To complement it we have the Heritage dining table by Boca do Lobo with a beautiful hand-painted in the same tone as the chairs. Since glamour couldn't be missing and the room is spacious, we added a simple polished brass sideboard by Brabbu with a mirror to open up the space and reflect the wall covering on the other side. When it comes to decorative items, a more minimalist style was chosen, for that reason there are only a few plants to match the chairs and the underside of the table, which give a natural feel.

FORMAL LIVING ROOM

The formal living room was made with the purpose of welcoming guests without having to go into the living room where one privates with the family. The seating arrangement encourages intimate conversation, two large Marco armchairs from #essentialhome were chosen accompanied by the fantastic Sherman sofa from Mid Century Club, Sherman is an homage to mid-century sofas, a touch of modernity, style and the same high quality materials and craftsmanship. Comfort is behind all of Sherman's #design, but sophistication is the key word when looking at this mid-century piece. This sofa has a big presence in the space, accompanied by the Philip Center Table designed by Studiopepe for #essentialhome, which makes for an inviting get-together. To add a more classic and glamorous touch to the room we have a service cabinet with a high-gloss green finish, the Divine Armoire by Koket.

KITCHEN

The kitchen was designed based on functionality and the client's tastes. The preferred colors were black and white, so we see the contrast of the white cabinets with the black quartz countertops. Additionally, the green accessories bring some life to the kitchen. We also have a breakfast area with a large glass door that allows natural lighting, however a ceiling lamp, the Cosmo suspension by DelightFULL, was applied above the Vinicius dining table by #essentialhome with the glass top, easy to clean, and with a beautiful black marble base that gives it a luxurious look.

MASTER BEDROOM

The softer and calmer feeling evoked throughout the master bedroom set it apart from the rest of the home. The green décor gives you the sense of connection and a closer proximity to nature, leaving you with a profound peaceful sentiment. Composed by Essential Home’s furniture pieces such as the Zelda Daybed and Armchair, from the partnership with Studiopepe, their green tone and rounded shapes play beautifully with the prestigious side of this earthy palette space. Enhancing the luxury strand of the bedroom, the Perry Dining Chair and Kahn Nightstand with their somber and cooler tones are a premier addition to an already extremely marvelous division.
