Bayt Al-Suhaymi
description: The Bayt al-Subyami is a 17th-century Ottoman house located in Cairo, Egypt. The house is rather rectangular, with a courtyard at the center of its three-story foundation. Primarily made from stone, the upper levels are made of timber and brickwork. Latticed screens allow privacy and light into the main rooms, adding a rich elegance to the spaces. The rooms are also decorated with painted beams and tiled ceilings/walls utilizing geometric patterns and floral motifs.
