Architectural Beauty of the Hijazi Style House Inspired by Farasan Islands

A large house similar in style to the Shubra Palace in Ta'if, but in the style of the Farasan Islands. This means that the overall shape of the building is Hijazi in style (like Al-Balad in Jeddah), but the walls are bright white with geometric carvings. The building is five floors high, with each floor (except the top one) and window being identical in appearance from the outside. Each floor has a verandah, which is punctuated in the middle with a mashrabiyah (with bay windows). The windows are tall with white shutters, which are opened to reveal latticework, which has an octagonal geometric patterns. At the top of each window is a transom, above which is a fanlight, which is made up of brightly-coloured geometrical stained glass patterns. At the top of the building is a battlement, with a Najdi-style square pattern.
