in the world – and third in Arabia – Kuwait is also one of the hottest. e country, made vastly wealthy from its oil resources, attracts residents, developers, and investors from across the world, despite its summer temperatures that can reach a staggering high of 54C. Bordered by Saudi Arabia and Iraq, Kuwait has a coastline of 500 kilometres and a population of 4.67 million. According to the United Nations, the population is expected to increase by 50 per cent by 2100. Currently, 83 per cent of the population resides in the capital.

Hessah District, located in the capital, is the first-ever comprehensive, mixed-use district in Kuwait. It comprises two parts: the Residential District and the Commercial District. In turn, the Residential District comprises two

components, Hessah Towers and Byout Hessah, and the Commercial District five: Hessah PLAZA, Hessah HEALTH, Hessah WORK, Hessah HUB and H Suites. Hessah is also the first development to take on the monumental challenge of creating a walkable district in the desertous country. This is accomplished with an architectural focus on efficiency, connectivity, community, and accessibility, and an approach that can be summarised as a symbiosis of natural and man-made features. The result is a uniquely one-of-a-kind sustainable living and working environment.

The holistic project boasts an enviable location adjacent to the Arabian Gulf, within vicinity to Kuwait’s business center and cultural attractions. It consists of living areas, shopping and grocery stores, food & beverage outlets, professional offices, medical clinics, and

Hessah District

Hessah Residential District

Hessah Commercial District

Hessah Commercial District

serviced apartments – all clustered in one urban neighbourhood and interconnected through a string of courtyards and green open spaces.

Just over half of the components in the project are designed as a system of stacked layers, implemented to maximise efficient use of space and to both harness and combat the elements. On the ground level are the pedestrian paths, aligned with wind corridors and punctuated by lush green landscaping and water fixtures. Above this level are suspended podiums that house parking structures and offer shade and shelter to the pedestrians below, creating a walkable urban haven for Hessah’s inhabitants. The podiums are adorned with living walls that absorb the sun’s rays and reduce temperatures through evapotranspiration. From the top of the podiums the towers soar regally, providing unobstructed vantages over the

surrounding areas. To reduce the impact of the sun, the buildings’ external envelopes increase ventilation and achieve shading with an artful combination of porcelain tile cladding, vertical aluminium louvres, deep recessed windows, and perforated metal screens. And where Kuwait’s harsh sun cannot be subdued with clever design, it is instead converted into energy. At least 10% of the total required demand for power for the project comes from solar photovoltaic panels located on the roofs.

In addition to the car-free pedestrian zones that link the Residential and Commercial Districts, the design affords ample vehicular accessibility for non-residents. The development is nestled between two major highways and avails six entry points. Each component possesses both public and private multi-level parking and drop off and pick up points.

Hessah Towers Hessah Towers

The hallmark of the District is Hessah Towers. At 40-storeys, the two twin towers will be the tallest residential towers in Kuwait and are designed to maximise both views and living space. With 102 units per tower, the largest number of beautiful apartments have a direct waterfront view, and each floor holds no more than four apartments.

While Hessah Towers is the hallmark of the Hessah Residential District and indeed the District as a whole, Byout Hessah is not to be overlooked. The unique structure comprises a combination of 40 stand-alone four-bedroom townhouses and two identical 12-storey towers that house 104 apartments.

Hessah District’s residential towers are luxury exemplified. In 2021, they won three fivestar awards at the Arabian Property Awards. Both afford their patrons 360-degree floor-to-

ceiling sea and city views. The smart technology features in each residence and the concierge services streamline, simplify and enrich their lives. Each tower is a vertical compound with independent amenities exclusively reserved for their residents’ use. The swimming pools, health centres, multi-purpose rooms, kids play areas and terraced gardens serve to exceed the clients’ every need as well as to provide organic opportunities for community building. Finally, the residences are conveniently located within walking distance to Hessah’s Commercial District – a base for inspired businesses and forward-thinking entrepreneurs.

While Hessah District is in proximity to Kuwait’s business hub, the district is itself positioned to become the country’s newest commercial hub. Conceptualised by Nikken Sekkei, a world-renowned architecture,

Byout Hessah

engineering, and planning firm headquartered in Japan, the Commercial District will introduce a new dimension of the live-workplay experience. Skilled professionals from fields such as law, architecture, finance, and specialised medical fields will be concentrated in the district that spans a gross construction area of 145,250m. The award winning Hessah WORK comprises two buildings containing 80 core and shell offices and a total leasable area of 16,496m. Hessah HEALTH, also comprising two buildings, houses 68 core and shell polyclinics for a total leasable area of 12,305m. Within walking distance to both is the awardwinning Hessah PLAZA , offering up to 16 F&B outlets and 10 retail stores, and Hessah HUB, which services the district’s everyday needs in the form of grocery stores, electronic shops and more. Finally, H Suites serviced apartments

is perfectly located to cater to the businesses headquartered in the Commercial District. A stay here has international business travellers within walking distance to their associates, reducing transit time from hotel to boardroom. Outpatients are able to swiftly check out of the clinics and into their rooms worry free.

The varied services and interconnected nature of this luxury district allow Hessah the formation of an exclusive community. Here the occupants of the Residential and Commercial Districts are each other’s neighbours, colleagues, clients and associates, their lives interwoven together for as long as they are inhabitants.

Hessah District was developed by United Real Estate Company (URC), a subsidiary of Kuwait Projects Company (Holding) – KIPCO, one of the largest holding companies in the Middle East and North Africa.

residential estate in the Waterfall mixed-use node in Northern Johannesburg by Balwin Properties and LYT Architecture. e project is also by far the largest residential estate in Waterfall and will eventually offer 5020 homes, consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, together with a mixed-use lifestyle centre, a hotel, a sports lifestyle centre, sports fields and facilities, and a pre-primary school.

Situated along the Jukskei River, the estate offers a variety of mini precincts within it including river frontage zones, multiple individually themed internal parks, the sports precinct in Phase 2 and the central lagoon. At the outset it was decided that the introduction of a Crystal Lagoon would give the estate a unique focus and ambience and it is from this that Munyaka derives its name (Munyaka is the Venda name for crystal or crystalline).

Set in the southern suburb of Johannesburg, Thaba Eco Village offers a new eco-friendly lifestyle. Boogertman and Partners Architects were briefed to design a four-storey multipleresidency with one- to three-bedroom apartments. The architecture incorporates Transvaal architectural elements, including vertical sheeting, broad-spanned balconies and pitch roofs. The project features cutting edge amenities including a restaurant, indoor gym, Thaba trails, laundromat, outdoor swimming pool, and a kids play area.

Adding value to Gordon’s Bay are the ultramodern, meticulously designed one-, two- and three-bedroom open plan studio homes for project GreenBay, which flow seamlessly into the landscaped outdoor area. With its communal facilities, including a restaurant, swimming pool, laundromat, indoor gym, children’s play area and sportsfield, one can truly experience and appreciate a wonderous lifestyle.

design firm based in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. It specialises in interiors, fabrication, curated furniture collections and art.

The company offers tailored and comprehensive design services catering to a wide spectrum of tastes, preferences and styles. With a firm desire to conceptualise, orchestrate and devise multi-functional spaces that are flexible and pragmatic yet stylish, the founder Al Anoud Khalid Mishaal set-up A Interiors to do more than just design residences, but to define lifestyles.

The design firm’s growing success is the result of Al Anoud’s contagious enthusiasm, keen eye for detail and hands-on styling approach. With an uncanny ability to grasp the true essence of client’s design preferences, Al Anoud develops a definitive style for each

project. It is this capacity for understanding the true nature, desires and driving forces behind each assignment that ensures A Interiors longevity and loyalty among clients.

The company’s design of a private residence (the ABA project) combines modern sleek lines with traditional Islamic influences to create a sense that is both calming and comfortable.

The palace interior design project applies a minimalist design and an aesthetic inspired by the oriental movement. This is enhanced through the strategic appliance of geometric shapes. The project requirements entailed high ceilings, and big windows in all areas to enhance natural light as much as possible, three bedrooms on the first floor, daily living on the first floor, a guest room on the ground floor, a formal dining area that could accommodate up to 30 people, a second dining room on the

ground floor for daily use, a daily living area on the ground floor, a large formal reception area on the ground floor and light colours used across all areas.

The breathtaking handcrafted ceilings were designed in Beirut by expert wood craftspeople Nest. This incredible feature gives a sense of muted elegance that elevates the height of each room.

The private client wanted to mix the old with the new, so wooden elements were reinforced throughout the interiors to create a primary design foundation and subtle accents that animate the space.

Korean artist Cha Seung and curator and art consultant Raneem Farsi, co-founder of the AR Art Advisory collaborated with A Interiors to select the perfect pieces for the space. There is also a beautiful custom designed elevator with

Pierre Frey wallpaper to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Maintaining clean, neutral colours, the rooms cohesively blend into one another, allowing for unity in design, but also enabling the unique vintage collectibles hand curated to stand apart and shine.

Purposeful splashes of colour and accessories artfully selected by Rabat Manzil draw the eye around each room.

Lavish, gilded mirrors pay homage to Islamic and Middle Eastern traditions while also creating a magical symmetry. Bespoke furniture sourced from Greek designers Karageorgiou complete the minimalist design, fusing together function with art.

Sculptural tiles designed by Tiles of Ezra and delicately placed within the swimming pool harmonise and completes the overall look.

the United Arab Emirates, between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, lies Jubail Island.

Just a short drive from downtown Abu Dhabi and with more than 30 kilometres of waterfronts sprawled across 5,000 hectares, Jubail Island is poised to become Abu Dhabi’s leading idyllic sanctuary, with a stunning collection of villages designed to attract wellness and nature enthusiasts.

With a sense of being a world apart, Jubail Island itself has six distinct villages seamlessly situated across the natural environment. It seeks to be known as a low impact, low density settlement which has a unique approach to community living. It’s incredible ecosystems allow you to watch and experience nature on your doorstep. Its

wetlands play a role for roosting and feeding many migratory birds so exotic bird sightings are commonplace. Residents may also be able to enjoy occasional sightings of elegant gazelles wandering close by due to the island’s position.

The tranquil landscape of winding water channels and lush mangrove forests are what makes Jubail Island a popular destination and its qualities can act as an antidote to the fastpaced urban life of Abu Dhabi.

The Marina District, situated in Marfaa Al Jubail, is a luxury neighborhood with a 66-berth marina built along a stretch of shoreline. It is complete with large open spaces, walkways, and water features. This exclusive and secluded area will offer high-end waterfront Al Marsa villa’s and unrivalled amenities, anchored by a

The development includes 41 elegantly designed Marina villa’s among some of the UAE’s most beautiful landscapes and surrounded by mangroves and wildlife. They will feature spacious interiors of up to 290m in size and available with up to three bedrooms.

LEAD Development knows that wellness is a priority for residential planning, and

environments can have a positive or negative impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. Designing communities to foster a sense of wellness can pay dividends in both savings and in earning – societal savings found through less demand for hospitals and treatments and personal savings through more ability and opportunity for the population to live well and earn.

The company has focused on sustainable approaches and materials to ensure there is a harmonious balance between the natural landscapes and the architecture. Locally sourced natural materials enhance this relationship such as clean stone volumes with accents of wood to create a soft atmosphere that respects its context. The same principles relate to interior design which focuses on both light and minimalism.

Four grand 50- and 70-floor towers define Al Sa’ad Plaza premium district, a fully pedestrian, connected and dynamic urban realm with impressive sea views. The four towers feature low-level podium buildings at their bases, creating a series of interconnected unique public spaces that host a wide range of activities and venues.

The buildings were designed by Foster+Partners, a world-renowned architectural and engineering firm.

At the tranquil waterfront of The Seef, Qatari Diar is also developing nine distinctive residential towers. These residences enjoy beautiful, uninterrupted sea views and overlook the majestic Qetaifan Islands, as well as Lusail’s skyline. The alluring scenery of this landmark project is supplemented by unique designs and amenities, contributing to an irresistible experience.

Lusail Boulevard’s linear thoroughfare connects three main areas: the western gateway, the avenue itself, and the station plaza. Lusail Boulevard’s masterplan was also carefully drawn into five distinct sub-districts. The Gateways, Art and Design, Education District, Entertainment, Media and Tech, Hotels and Offices zones stand as beacons of Doha’s evolving economic landscape, culturally rich demographic and nationwide ambitions to attract an international audience.

Throughout the property, XBD Collective applied layers of materials for added luxury and opted for high-end marbles and luxuriously textured paints mixed with elements of champagne metal undertones.

Upon entering, you are met with huge living and dining areas with an abundance of natural light and a hanging crystal glass pendant in the form of the flying leaves illuminated from above. The formal living area has a warm, neutral colour palette with elements of colourful accents throughout, bringing a pop of personality. In addition, the bespoke designer furniture set from luxury

Italian brands allows for a comfortable yet social seating arrangement.

Upon entering the property, an impressive entranceway greets you with plush white volakas marble and surrounds you with the warm wood.

The nature-inspired coloured accents and custom bubble lights represent the ocean surrounding the property. XBD created a massive double-height mirror feature with fluted wood and indirect lighting on both sides to make the space feel voluminous yet creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A bespoke marble staircase has a unique handrail feature comprising wood and metal. An elegant combination of materials with thoughtful

From the first meeting with the clients, REESHA Interiors had a clear vision about the design concept, which was to use Jordan & Levant architectural elements, presented in a contemporary way. REESHA decided to have the owners’ personalities represented throughout the space: the rooted sweet mum, the energetic smiley chef, and the musician/ marketing guru. In addition, REESHA Interiors blended the backgrounds, lifestyles as well as the owners’ individuality, and their vision for the restaurant as these were all important concepts behind the design.

The previous linear layout along with the limited number of tables, the dark staircase, and the unpleasant and uninviting transitional space to reach the second floor were all revamped. REESHA Interior Design created additional space to house more

tables for guests, along with a pleasant and welcoming entrance.

Other changes included creating open counters to house a juice bar, bakery and oven, and a dessert preparation counter. Previous partitions were removed to create a freeflowing area, and a ground floor wall was removed to house an inviting staircase with more natural light. The company also extended a sandwich panel to add a proper reception and landing area with a grand piano. Large windows to allow maximum natural light were incorporated throughout and the facade was enhanced by adding attractive signage.

Overall, the blend of the owners’ personalities and levant architecture created an attractive spot for UAE residents and visitors to Dubai. These elements were key to the business’s identity and success story.

The Diamond in City Project, a one-ofa-kind contributor to the contemporary

urbanisation undertaking in West Africa, is located in one of the most desirable residential areas in Accra, Ghana’s capital.

The complex is noteworthy for numerous reasons: it offers unique, modern living spaces to its users, it displays architectural brilliance in its form, and verdant landscape, and it cocoons its inhabitants from all external noise. This complex was built to maximise its users’ satisfaction. In the design, the company actively embedded nature both indoors and outdoors. For instance, Acacia built the complex around multiple large trees on the land, rather than uprooting them.

The mixed-use development comprises four blocks, all of which are equipped with underground car parks, intentionally disconnecting the transportation routes from

the common green areas. Acacia designated the ground floor units of blocks A and B, facing the road, to varying commercial shops to serve both the residents and the neighbourhood at large. On the side of the building facing the road, the company have set up a continental restaurant, a supermarket and pharmacy, a laundromat, café, hair salon and spa, and a giftshop. From the parking garages to the apartments, a load carrying elevator is provided alongside a passenger one. On the side facing the road, Acacia connected blocks A and B to create a crownlike form.

On top of the crown sits a swimming pool. By constructing a pool with glass flooring on the roof, the company have provided an unparalleled experience for the residents. A swimming pool with a pedestrian bridge

is present in the middle of the common green area. The outdoor space is completely disable-friendly and fully accessible to all. The residents’ kids will thoroughly enjoy their beautifully built play area where they can submerge into the pool via a waterslide, or alternatively weave through the giant trees by way of an extensive canopy walk.

Acacia have reserved areas for active outdoor sports, including walking and running tracks, and rock climbing facilities. The company have also created a general sports field, tennis and basketball courts, and a fitness hall. Residents will also have access to a comprehensive indoor gym, and for further convenience there is a conference and cinema hall, guest reception hall, meeting room, video game hall, among many other amenities that residents will enjoy for years to come.

is a six-phase masterplan development spanning a total area of over 1.5 million m. It is the first gated residence in Sharjah and overlooks the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates.

Al Lilac, one of the neighbourhoods in Al Zahia, has been beautifully and meticulously designed by DSA Architects International. DSA designed the villas for two major stages of development, Al Lilac phases 4A & 4B. In addition, DSA supervised the construction up to the handover stage. This was achieved within the construction program as set out at the beginning of the project.

The homes are designed to reflect local and regional traditions with a variety of layouts and sizes among other options, buyers can choose from four-, five- and six-bedroom villas, three-

bedroom courtyard villas, and outstanding three-bedroom townhouses.

The architectural and interior design concept is a combination of modern aesthetics with timeless details. It moves away from exterior facades that only read in 2D by incorporating shutter elements to give the walls some depth. There are also cantilever slabs and overhanging balconies, and an outdoor area with overhead shading that can be used for al fresco dining.

The Al Lilac neighbourhood also includes an innovative 5,700m sensory park and accessible pedestrian walkways. It is envisioned as a home for everyone; from those who are buying their first home or just starting a family, to those who are enjoying life’s easier pace. Sharjah has the most diversified and fastest growing economy in the UAE, so Al Lilac is more than investing in a home; it’s an investment for the future.

Jumeirah, the project consists of the full interior design of a new spa and fitness centre in the Taj Exotica Resort.

The spa’s design is contemporary, minimalist yet luxurious in design with subtle Indian cues in line with the hotel’s roots – all achieved through finely crafted artefacts and design elements.

The design of the space blends effortlessly with nature thanks to the use of natural materials with an emphasis on organic forms and curves. The spa’s ambience accentuates serenity and softness to bring about a mystical and magical atmosphere. This is achieved through design elements such as natural ambient lighting, a seamless indooroutdoor connection and the use of natural

and high-quality materials such as American walnut wood, golden mosaics, travertine marble and Terra Chiara (composed of quartz and granite).

The importance of being connected to nature is a key element of the spa creation and design. One example is the use of Tadelakt – a traditional Moroccan wallsurfacing technique composed of lime plaster and finished with olive oil soap. It is ideal for use in wet areas such as showers and baths. The history of the technique has its origins in the ancient city of Marrakech at the foot of the high Atlas Mountains.

Wherever possible the outstanding views of the Arabian Gulf have been given prominence to allow guests to take advantage of their location.

The company identifies private real estate opportunities for their clients, while breaking market boundaries and limitations.

    rebrand his existing hotel to a new exclusive St. Regis luxury property. Working closely with the client and the Marriott/St. Regis team, WA International needed to elevate the existing hotel to this premium luxury brand. Signature bespoke experiences that are part of the St. Regis heritage needed to be conceptualised into all areas. A design narrative for the rebranding was created using references from both the historical old souks on Dubai’s Creek to the St. Regis location on the new Dubai Canal and its adjacency to the largest exclusive shopping mall in the world.

The St. Regis brand emulates timeless elegance with a reputation of exquisite taste and impeccable service. The WA International team decided the arrival experience for the property needed the first uplift. The existing exterior stainless steel clad columns were reclad in polished black marquina marble flutes. Two new extended black and bronze metal canopies

were introduced to the porte-cochere and a row of large burnished golden pots with manicured topiary align the arrival driveway.

For the entrance areas, a large locally commissioned painting of Dubai’s skyline immediately greets the St. Regis guests. New bronze trimmed and leather clad desks have been positioned in front of the golden bronze drapery. The existing chandeliers have been reshaped to resemble a golden necklace inspired by Dubai’s Gold Souks. The tall wing back chairs were reupholstered in emerald green velvet, while additional sumptuous seating groups replace the earlier concierge area.

A signature St. Regis ‘Long Gallery’ featuring works from three prominent artists has been allocated to the central circulation area. A library and tea lounge featuring the legendary St. Regis afternoon tea service has been reimagined into the lobby lounge area and to top it off, the all day dining restaurant was stripped out and replaced with a glamorous new ballroom.

Award Winner HOTEL INTERIOR DUBAI The St. Regis Downtown, Dubai by WA International

The St. Regis Downtown Dubai

single-use space where guests arrived and checked in or out of the establishment. Innovative hotel design concepts have taken this space and made it functional in new and more useful ways for the modern traveller.

In response, lobbies have evolved into multiuse spaces for casual and formal meetings, for guests to catch up on work or catch a quick meal while they wait for friends or an appointment. With this in mind, Mouhajer International Design focused on creating a luxury dream home feel for the Sheraton Abu Dhabi. The result was a fantasy space where you feel welcome and relaxed, and are able to enjoy all the upsides of a getaway while still having all the practical benefits of a private home.

Elements of the home away from home luxury hotel concept also include warm and

cosy features, eclectic furnishings, fireplaces, the ability to catch your favourite show or play your favourite music, personalised food services, and even flexible layouts for furnishings. Nothing is cookie-cutter, yet nothing is overwhelming – everything is about mental and physical comfort, and the Sheraton includes all these elements and so much more.

Today, local experiences are a huge trend, influencing every aspect of a hotel’s design and services. This includes using local art, materials and décor to make luxury hotel rooms and spaces reflect local culture, local produce and cuisine on the menu, and sightseeing tours for local events and points of interest. Mouhajer International ensured that all these aspects were included throughout the common areas and rooms to create exceptional settings.

Sheraton Abu Dhabi

to the south of the Central Business District of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is nestled between the two main road corridors that funnels daily traffic into and out of the city.

The building was part of the ABSA Bank Campus which was the largest structure on this campus.

The mothballed structure was transformed into a safe mixed-use building for all income levels through this spectacular intervention by the development team and AMA Architects.

The low-income apartments are not exclusively for ABSA employees, and it houses a mix of people who live, work, play, shop, gym, enjoy childcare, entertainment and exclusive dining all overlooking this dynamic city.

The connection with the well-developed Maboneng Precinct also supports foot traffic through to Fox Street ; planting and resting

benches are placed en route to ensure a green and pedestrian friendly experience.

Within the ABSA Precinct, the Village Park, is a community focal point for ABSA employees, the local residents and visitors. The concourse highlights the notable sculptures and the very first public bleacher in Johannesburg for outdoor entertainment.

The ground floor retail areas, the art gallery, the crèche and the 15th floor social amenities attracts activity on a daily basis.

The design language of this intervention will pervade the surrounding sidewalks, through collaborations with ABSA, the Johannesburg Development Agency and the newly established Village East City Improvement District.

The transformation of this tower block by AMA Architects acts as a development catalyst to create identifiable pedestrian friendly mixeduse facilities across Johannesburg.
