Traditional style in a new house

A very traditional style desert house, but obviously recently built. I've seen restaurants and such in this style, but never a private dwelling.

Opposites attract, posted earlier:

1/250s f/10.0 at 44.0mm iso100 full exif

Looks like an old fortress more than a house.V.

It looks very secretive. It fits in with how Saudi society seems to be. The house looks like it holds many secrets. V

To me, it looks rather intimidating. I understand why the homes are built like this, but it isn't for me. Oh, and I never tire of your architecture photos. V

not quite a welcoming façade, yet the trim is interesting..

Looks like a well fortified compound. Clean lines and a very crisp photo. Nice earth tones. Vote.
