Bayt Al Sharqi: Bridging Timeless Tradition and Modern Artistry

Today, Bayt Al Sharqi is home to the creative space known as Zawiya97, named after the house’s 97-degree orientation toward the Kaaba.

Within its walls, traditional crafts are celebrated and revived, especially manjour, the intricate wooden carpentry that defines much of Jeddah’s historic architecture.

At the junction of old alleyways, Bayt Al Sharqi stands out with its distinctive angle—an embodiment of local architectural precision that leaves no doubt this house was no accident, but the result of a thoughtful and integrated vision of both housing and art.

Over time, this house has preserved its stature, evolving into a platform where art is continually reimagined and heritage is brought to life in a modern form that honors its authenticity.

Its design is more than aesthetic; it is a physical translation of generations of inherited knowledge, shaped by a deep mastery of construction. The house feels alive, speaking to passersby and captivating all who step inside.

Bayt Al Sharqi is more than just historic walls; it is an open page in the book of time, telling every visitor how the past endured and how the present can embrace it without erasing its essence.
