Seven floors in the heart of Jeddah: shops and a cafe at the street, six floors of homes above, and on the roof — a room with a two-meter round skylight that paints the floor with a moving disc of light.
Old Jeddah houses kept their best room on the roof: the tayrama, a shaded loggia where the family gathered in the evening breeze. This building brings that idea back. Shops and a cafe hold the street alive at ground level; six floors of homes rise above; and the building is crowned by a tayrama with a two-meter round opening in its roof. At sunset, the opening throws a disc of golden light that slowly crosses the floor.
A building this dense has to pass a lot of rules — height, coverage, stairs, fire safety, the city's character guidelines for the Hejazi coast. We ran all of them through our checking system: 39 of 40 checks passed, with the one open item documented and resolved with the city's parking requirements.
The full permit set is 22 drawings, backed by the official digital building model the city now requires — independently verified.
