Mediterranean Villa Garden in Amman

K.B. lives in Riyadh. His villa is in Amman. He asked for an outdoor area that feels simple, elegant and luxurious, and he wanted to shape it without being on site.

The garden is 400 m². That sounds generous until you list what a family wants from it: a pool, a place to sit in the evening, shade, privacy, and as much green as possible. The first list did not fit. So we went through it with K.B. and ranked every item. He chose what to keep and what to let go. What stayed got room to work.

The neighbours could see into the garden. A pergola over the lounge closed that view without closing the garden in. The wall behind the lounge carries handcrafted stone wall art by Stones Luxury.

K.B. wanted green everywhere, but the floor was already spoken for. So we raised the planting. Planters in Jordanian stone, set at different heights, run along the walls. The garden reads green from every seat, and the paving stays clear for walking.

The paving is non-slip porcelain, chosen for wet feet coming out of the pool. At night, light comes from low in the planters and from strips on the walls. The garden glows without glare.

We designed it over three months in 2021, all of it remotely. K.B. saw every decision in 3D before it was drawn in detail. The lighting, irrigation and hardscape drawings are complete. Construction is planned for 2027.
