Project Riad:

Our dream is to build a traditional riad in our hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Online resources that we need to help us in our planning process are scarce, so we are documenting our own research process from start to finish to help other people who might also want to build a riad home. We love to travel and learn, so if you have any suggestions or knowledge to share, please contact us.
