MO Villa

The MO Villa is a case study for a new typology on the common strip villas in the city of Riyadh in KSA. While the client opted for a neo classical appearance for his house, we were left free to develop a more dynamic floor plan.


The MO house enjoys an open floor plan dominated by a large kitchen that acts both as a kitchen, activity hub, living area, study room, and a library. By combining several activities, we hope the kitchen space will provide a dynamic and interactive zone can bring the whole family together.

The living areas are spread in front of the kitchen in a semi open scheme, with a double void and a high ceiling that also opens to an outdoor pool. The dining room took the corner space to provide serenity and additional privacy for guests.


The external pool was hidden in a slice between the living areas and the main fence, an largely covered by the top floor. This allows for higher protection from the harsh Saudi weather and additional privacy for the pool users. The bedrooms can be accessed via a central stair that pours directly to the main activity zone thus providing a direct connection between floors.


The facades were treated in a modernist / neo classical line, finished with travertine stone and modern simple moldings and engravings.
