“Oasis of Usra” – A Home Rooted in Warmth and Togetherness
Synergizing Human, Space, and Nature
The Alhussayni Residence was envisioned as more than just a house—it’s a sanctuary. Inspired by the concept of Usra (Arabic for “family”), this home was designed as an oasis—a nurturing, peaceful refuge amidst the pace of modern life. A place to return to. A space that grounds, heals, and reenergizes.
Design Philosophy
With a strong focus on family-centered living, the design blends serenity and functionality through an earthy palette, organic materials, and a warm, modern sensibility. We embraced a tropical calm—achieved through the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, complemented by natural light, tactile textures, and mindful spatial zoning.
Each room is tailored to support daily rituals and relationships, while offering its own moment of character and pause.

Oasis of Usra
A Sanctuary of Family, Warmth, and Modern Calm in Jeddah
More than a house, the Alhussayni Residence is a retreat—an Usra in form and feeling. Derived from the Arabic word for “family,” Usra anchors this home’s spirit: a space built not just to shelter, but to connect, restore, and embrace.

In a city pulsing with momentum, this residence offers stillness. It’s a modern-day oasis—an intentional pause in the rhythm of daily life.
Rooted in Design, Grown from Intention
Our vision for the house is to make a “home” that supports togetherness. The architecture weaves serenity and utility with a palette of earthy materials—limestone, travertine, lime-wash walls, and rich walnut cabinetry. These elements are softened by tactile fabrics, brushed bronze accents, and the quiet confidence of clean-lined design.

The spatial planning emphasizes flow—between people, rooms, and nature. Natural light filters through large openings, textures invite touch, and each space carries its own emotional temperature. There is calm without sterility, elegance without excess.
Spatial Narratives
Foyer, Living & Dining
A warm welcome sets the tone. The social heart of the home is composed with restraint—soft textures, loose furniture groupings, and nature-driven finishes form an atmosphere that’s relaxed, yet refined.

Kitchen & Pantry
More than just a workspace, the kitchen becomes a daily gathering point. The island doubles as a conversation hub, while materials echo the calmness found throughout the home. It's intimate, practical, and fully embedded in family life.

Swimming Pool Area
This is where the home breathes. An outdoor haven framed in wood and stone, lush with greenery and dappled light. Skylights and thoughtful landscaping draw nature in, creating a place for reflection and reset.

Private Quarters
Bedrooms and bathrooms carry the thread of comfort further. The master suite is layered with green marble, walnut wood, and warm travertine—drawing spa-like tranquility into everyday life. Potted plants and soft lighting amplify the feeling of retreat.

The Man Cave
Tucked away yet unapologetically expressive, this is the home’s most personal space. Moody lighting, curated shelving, dark wood, and stone finishes form a cocoon for solitude, hobbies, and quiet reflection.

A Living Expression of Family
In the Alhussayni Residence, architecture becomes more than shelter—it becomes an experience of family, belonging, and grounded luxury. Every surface, material, and spatial gesture reinforces the central idea: home is not just where we live, but where we return to ourselves and each other.
