THE STERLING

Site: The Sterling by Omniyat, Burj Khalifa District

Type: Penthouse

The penthouse residents were a family of five. The design brief’s key point was to have a modern design with natural materials. The client wanted to include the following features: a double height fireplace in the formal living room. Alongside that, they wanted separate formal and casual dining areas, show and dirty kitchens, a lounge area with a library and a family room which also serves as a playroom. Two highlighted features were to have the kitchen of the Italian brand Poliform & a walk-in closet in Master Bedroom.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Considering the client’s preference for wooden and cream tones, their keen interest in art collection, and high-end furniture, the design was tailored to reflect these tastes. The design includes a travertine fireplace for a grand look, marble elements, light oak flooring, and a doubleheight space for an impressive faux fireplace. Motion sensor automation, layered lighting, and a serene ambiance are integrated throughout the house.

The penthouse features a dirty kitchen and a show kitchen with a breakfast nook, on the ground floor. The show kitchen is adjacent to the main dining area.

The show kitchen design includes black wood veneers, Calacatta Viola marble, and a brass laminate accent hood.

The 3 villas overlooking Jumeirah Beach, were meticulously designed, each identical in its embodiment of raw luxe or organic luxury. Commissioned by the client for family and friends’ holiday gatherings, the design of these residences featured outdoor pools and showcased high-end Italian furniture, embodying an organic luxe interior design concept. They offer a seamless blend of natural elements and refined aesthetics, providing an inviting retreat for relaxation and connection amidst luxurious surroundings, all the while enjoying the beach.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

The design concept, based on the Raw Luxe theme, incorporates light oak wood, concealed LED accent lighting, natural stone like travertine, and bronze metal accents. This design theme is consistent throughout the house, featuring wooden wall cladding behind beds, light oak herringbone parquet floors, and wooden TV units.

The material palette for all 3 villas was kept the same as the client wanted all 3 to be designed in a similar manner.

Since the theme was inspired by Japandi paired with Contemporary, lots of light oak wood tones were used throughout. These were complemented with black metal, travertine & use of marble for accents.

THE NOVIKOV

Site: The Galleria Mall, Abu Dhabi

Type: High End Restaurant & Bar

Novikov Abu Dhabi is a luxurious restaurant and bar with Russian origins, offering a unique dining experience in the heart of the city. While the Dubai branch is known for its sleek and modern aesthetic, the Abu Dhabi location embraces a completely different design theme. Drawing inspiration from ancient Mayan architecture and heritage, the space is a vibrant blend of bold colors, intricate patterns, and rich textures. The design incorporates ambient lighting to create a moody and immersive atmosphere, offering guests a distinctive and captivating environment to enjoy world-class cuisine and cocktails.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Novikov Abu Dhabi was conceived to provide a luxurious dining experience that combines sophistication with liveliness, much like the Russian tradition of enjoying good food and drinks in an elegant yet vibrant atmosphere. The design of the space was developed around this concept, incorporating elements that reflect both opulence and energy. Bold, colorful materials such as Vitoria Regia marble and Red Travertine were carefully chosen to bring warmth and richness to the environment. These luxurious finishes, combined with intricate patterns and textures, create a visually dynamic space that enhances the ambiance.

DIDI DUBAI COMPETITION

Site: Common spaces in Dubai

Type: Furniture design

The brief was to redefine seating by using one of the themes: Arab Culture, Sustainability or Futuristic. I chose to work with Arab Culture & titled the project Marbuut. In Arabic it means bound. fastened together, coalescent. Marbuut is an ode to the value given to connection, hospitality and kinship in the Emirati Culture. It celebrates individuality as well as the coming together of a community where each individual is considered one part of a whole.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The idea for the design stemmed from the concept of the Majlis, a communal gathering space in Emirati culture where the community assembles to socialize, resolve problems, receive guests or engage in thoughtful conversations.

The setup consists of a floor seating arrangement often with repeated units.

The idea was to design a modular seating where one module can be attached to another to continue the chain. Inspiration: the essence of the Majlis, where individulas come together, forming one group.

The design of the module was inspired by patterns of Sadu, a traditional Emirati embroidery in geometric shapes, particularly triangles. Usually found on covers of Majlis seating.

The final form was selected to be a transparent square with 1 side made of an opaque material to give hierarchy.

2 sides (one transparent, one opaque) were to have patterned surfaces derived from triangles of Sadu.

The pattern was derived using computational modelling.

MATERIAL SELECTION

Red clay (mixed with binders) - locally sourced.

Reasoning:

• Inspired by sand dunes of the desert.

• Sustainable

• Strength

Acrylic - easily sourced.

Reasoning:

• Transparency - to show joining of one module with another depicting the human connection in majlis.

• Strength

• Stiffness

• Easy to fabricate

METHODS FOR FABRICATION

A) Dovetail Interlocking Joints: To join acrylic sheets

B) Mould/Cast/CNC Milling: For shape and patterns of the clay

Patterns derived from Sadu shown in all the elevations. The patterns on the opaque side are extruded outwards with geometric scoring done on the backside. Fluidity of the clay depicting sand dunes of the desert.
