One of my favorite architectural features of Jeddah's unique buildings are the carved lattice work window coverings called roshan (single), or rawasheen (plural). These allow for privacy and conducting air flow throughout the buildings.

The details in those lattices are really pleasing to the eye.
It looks almost like lace!
Nice photo! Its very nice to look at.
Wooden lattice is used for the same purpose, even on our deck and our neighbours, although not as beautiful as these!
These are really unique. I'm intrigued.
Hi William - I have posted many photos of this architectural feature in Jeddah. Some are painted in blues and greens and they look awesome. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks, Mama Zen. I think so too.
Hi Judy - Yes, they do have a lacey effect to them. Great to hear from you.
Hi Janet - and thanks for visiting my blog!
Hi Karen - I've always liked lattice work, but hadn't ever seen it used in this way before until I moved to Jeddah.
Hi Yogi - I find them intriguing too. There is an air of mystery about them.
Beautiful. - Margy
A beautiful architecture.
