ELEMENTSDESIGN & FURNISHING
Contemporary Saudi residence inspired by shaded Najdi courtyards

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Najd Courtyard

Desert residence · Commissioned design package — 3D visualization, not built photography

Saudi residential design · Scope & approach

From a courtyard concept to a coordinated design package.

Najd Courtyard explores privacy, shade and a warm material palette through a contemporary Saudi residence. Our project scope covered concept layout, mood board, 3D visualization and 2D drawings. The image above is a design visualization, not a photograph of completed construction.

The concept diagram and palette below were prepared to explain our approach in this case study. They are illustrative presentation material, not the original measured plans or an approved construction set.

01 / Scope

What the design package brings together

Concept layout

Establish the relationship between spaces, circulation and privacy before developing the visual details. For a new project, we work from the client's brief and verified plans or site measurements.

Mood board

Align the colour, texture and atmosphere. The Najd visualization uses warm mineral tones, dark timber accents, planted edges and deep openings as a coherent visual direction.

3D visualization

Review proportions, materials, lighting and the relationship between the courtyard and the residence. Images help the client discuss the design before committing to the next stage.

2D drawings

Translate the approved design into the agreed drawing scope. The room list, drawing schedule, detail level and handoff formats are confirmed in the written proposal for each project.

02 / Design thinking

Privacy, movement and a quieter centre.

How we approach a courtyard brief

  1. Arrival: discuss sightlines and the transition from entrance to living spaces.
  2. Shared spaces: test circulation and the relationship between indoor rooms and outdoor areas.
  3. Courtyard: explore shade, landscape and visual connections in the concept and 3D stages.
  4. Private zone: review separation, furniture clearance and access against the client's needs.

This explains our design process. Structural, environmental and authority requirements need the relevant qualified consultants and a project-specific review.

03 / Materials, texture & coordination

See the palette. Understand the decisions.

Material selection is more than matching colours. We use the mood board to align texture, contrast and atmosphere, then connect approved references to the 3D views and agreed drawing schedule.

M01 / WALL FINISH

Warm mineral texture تشطيب الجدران

Design role: a tactile, warm surface that works with the deep shadows in the courtyard visualization.

Review before selection: a physical colour-and-texture sample, lighting conditions, substrate suitability and the proposed junctions.

نراجع درجة الجدار وملمسه تحت الإضاءة، ثم نوضّح التقاءه بالأرضيات والعناصر المجاورة ضمن النطاق المتفق عليه.

M02 / STONE DIRECTION

Pale stone tones اتجاه الحجر والأرضيات

Design role: a quieter base for steps, circulation and the courtyard edge in this visual study.

Review before selection: finish, joint direction, maintenance, exterior suitability and the required technical specification.

نراجع اتجاه القطع والفواصل والتشطيب والصيانة، مع التأكد من ملاءمة الاختيار للمكان قبل اعتماد الخامة.

M03 / TIMBER DIRECTION

Dark timber accents الخشب والنجارة

Design role: darker accents frame the entrance and contrast with the mineral surfaces.

Review before selection: grain, stain sample, panel divisions, edge details and hardware within the agreed joinery scope.

نراجع لون الخشب واتجاه العروق وتقسيم الألواح والحواف والإكسسوارات، ونطوّر التفاصيل المطلوبة ضمن نطاق النجارة.

M04 / SCREEN DIRECTION

Layered privacy الشاشات والخصوصية

Design role: a patterned screen adds depth and filters views at the entrance.

Review before selection: pattern, transparency, finish, fixing concept and coordination with the relevant fabricator or consultant.

نوازن بين الخصوصية ودخول الضوء، ونراجع النمط والتشطيب وفكرة التثبيت بالتنسيق مع المختصين عند الحاجة.

M01–M04 are presentation references for this study. Final products, quantities, dimensions and technical suitability require project-specific selection and review; the palette does not specify a supplier or a tested assembly.

ماذا تضيف هذه المرحلة لمشروعك؟

04 / What a coordinated drawing scope can include

A clear bridge between the image and the drawing.

The scope is agreed before work starts. This example schedule explains how a room can be developed beyond the render; it is not a claim that every sheet below formed part of the original Najd handoff.

من الصورة إلى قائمة لوحات واضحة

نحدد في العرض ما يحتاجه مشروعك: توزيع الأثاث والحركة، مراجع الخامات، الواجهات الداخلية، تفاصيل النجارة، واتجاه الأسقف والإضاءة عند طلبها. نوضح محتوى كل لوحة ومستوى التفاصيل وصيغ التسليم قبل البدء، مع فصل مسؤوليات التصميم الهندسي والتصنيع والاعتمادات.

05 / From approval to handoff

What we agree before starting your project

  1. Brief and inputs: location, plans, design area, rooms, priorities and existing conditions.
  2. Layout and mood board: agree the spatial direction and material atmosphere before developing 3D views.
  3. 3D review: confirm the required spaces, viewpoints and revision rounds in the proposal.
  4. Drawing handoff: confirm the drawing list and delivery formats, such as JPG visuals and PDF presentation or drawings, according to the agreed scope.

Editable source files, animations, 360° views, structural design, permit submissions, construction and site supervision are separate items unless specifically included in the written quotation.

Hitomi is a different project in Bali. Its drawings show an example of our documented work; they are not drawings of Najd Courtyard.

فناء نجد · النطاق وطريقة العمل

كيف نحول الفكرة إلى تصميم واضح يمكنك مراجعته؟

فناء نجد دراسة تصميم سكني معاصر، ومحورها الخصوصية والظل والخامات الدافئة. شمل نطاق عملنا في المشروع التوزيع المبدئي Concept Layout، ولوحة الإلهام Mood Board، والتصوّرات ثلاثية الأبعاد 3D، ومخططات 2D. الصورة المعروضة ريندر تصميمي وليست صورة تنفيذ مكتمل.

أعددنا دراسة توزيع بالأثاث ولوحة خامات تفصيلية لشرح أسلوب تفكيرنا في الدراسة: نراجع المدخل والحركة والخصوصية، ثم نطوّر اتجاه الخامات والتصوّرات. الرسم ليس مخطط المشروع الأصلي، ولا مخططًا تنفيذيًا معتمدًا، ولا يُستخدم للبناء أو لاستخراج مقاسات.

  1. نفهم متطلبات مشروعك: ترسل الموقع والمخطط والمساحة والفراغات المطلوبة والأولويات.
  2. نراجع التوزيع والاتجاه: نتفق على التوزيع المبدئي ولوحة الإلهام قبل تطوير مشاهد 3D.
  3. نطوّر التصوّرات: تراجع الشكل والخامات والإضاءة؛ ويحدد العرض عدد المشاهد وجولات التعديل.
  4. نسلّم النطاق المتفق عليه: يحدد العرض قائمة اللوحات وصيغ التسليم بوضوح، مثل صور JPG وملفات PDF وفق الباقة المطلوبة.

التسعير حسب نطاق مشروعك، ويشمل العرض المكتوب المراحل والتسليمات والاستثناءات. التنفيذ والإشراف والتصميم الإنشائي والتراخيص خدمات منفصلة إذا لم تُذكر صراحةً في العرض.
