THE ART OF SPACE AND SUBSTANCE BY ADELI

STANDING AMONG THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD FOR 2025, AWARDED BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS, THERE IS ADELI. FOUNDED BY SIAVOSH ADELI, THE FIRM CARRIES A DISTINCTLY SWISS CHARACTER, REPRESENTING A REFINED APPROACH TO DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE, GROUNDED IN RELIABILITY, PRECISION, AND EXCELLENCE. THOUGH COSMOPOLITAN IN SCOPE, ADELI’S CREATIVE EXPRESSION REFLECTS THE DISCIPLINE AND INTEGRITY THAT DEFINE SWISS CRAFTSMANSHIP, ENSURING EVERY PROJECT CONVEYS AUTHENTICITY AND PURPOSE.

“It’s a great honor and a proud moment for me and my entire team. This recognition celebrates years of dedication and passion for creating meaningful spaces that combine Swiss precision, emotion, and global inspiration,” commented the company.

From Vision to Reality

Under the philosophy of Inspiration in Architecture & Design, Adeli bridges imagination and functionality. Each space becomes a story, carefully conceived, structurally sound, and emotionally engaging. “My philosophy is built around ‘Inspiration in Architecture & Design.’ For me, architecture is not just about structure: it’s about emotion, balance, and storytelling. Every project begins with an idea, a feeling, and evolves into a dialogue between art and function,” shared the company.

The studio’s ethos is rooted in close collaboration with clients, where every element serves a thoughtful intention. Materials are chosen for their integrity, proportions are studied with care, and environments are composed to stand the test of time.

Adeli’s team remains closely involved at every stage of production, working directly with artisans and selecting the finest specialists in each field. This hands-on process ensures an exceptional standard of quality and authenticity that has become synonymous with the Adeli name.

Defining Spaces of Distinction

Since its founding in 2008, Adeli has created a wide array of architectural and interior projects that go beyond traditional design. The firm’s work often transforms spaces into cultural and functional landmarks.

“One of the most meaningful projects for us was The Emirates Room at the United Nations in Geneva. It was an incredible journey; we competed in an international design competition among several European architects, and winning it was a true milestone,” the company reflected. “The challenge was not only to design something exceptional but also to deliver it on time, within a strict international schedule. We traveled across countries to source the best specialists and materials, coordinating every detail to ensure the project was completed exactly on the day of the official inauguration, and we did it.” Explained the team.

Among these are:

• The Emirates Room (United Nations Office in Geneva)

• Fédération Equestre Internationale Headquarters (Lausanneclient Princess Haya)

• UNHCR (Tech Coffee)

• First Abu Dhabi Bank (Geneva)

• UAE Permanent Mission Offices

• Miraal Dunes Hotel (Abu Dhabi – project under development)

• Villa Dubochet (famous historical Villa in Clarens – Montreux)

• Mövenpick Ice cream Pavillon - Montreux

Each of these projects illustrates the firm’s ability to merge creativity with purpose, turning architectural challenges into meaningful environments that reflect both local and global perspectives.

Designs that Speak of Innovation

Beyond architecture, Adeli explores the relationship between form and function through product and furniture design. His creations balance sculptural presence with practical use, transforming objects into conversation pieces. Some of these signature designs include:

• ALLIANCE – A concept for a sofa set inspired by 3 key design eras: Louis XV, Bauhaus, and Vintage.

• AQUARIUM – Furniture concepts inspired by the grace and fluidity of the most beautiful fish.

• STRING GAME – A furniture collection exploring the tension and elasticity of form, echoing the playfulness of string and movement.

• INTOTHEPERS – Furniture concepts inspired by the geometry and rhythm of deconstructivist forms.

• F-EGG TABLE – A table concept inspired by the natural purity and balance of a fried egg, merging organic form with contemporary design.

• RUG DESIGN – A series of rugs featuring graphic compositions and deconstructed shapes, turning texture and pattern into storytelling.

• LOUIS VUITTON – Conceptual showcase for the famous brand

• EBEL – Watch display & presentation concepts.

• BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO – Creation of premium retail environments.

These works illustrate Adeli’s passion for authentic materials and pure forms, where design serves both expression and experience. “The challenge is to create something truly authentic in a world of trends. Every project must have a soul. We focus on craftsmanship, material honesty, and emotional resonance, ensuring that each space remains timeless, not just beautiful,” added the company.

Between Vision & Reality

Adeli’s work exemplifies the precision, creativity, and reliability for which Swiss design is known. His approach, rooted in collaboration, guided by inspiration, and executed with rigorous attention to every detail, transforms architecture and interior design into an enduring art.

“I believe the future of architecture lies in sensitivity, creating spaces that connect people, culture, and emotion. Our goal is to continue expanding globally while staying true to our Swiss roots: precision, integrity, and excellence,” concluded the company.

Through his projects across Switzerland and beyond, Siavosh Adeli continues to define a distinctive language of design that connects innovation with authenticity, creating spaces that resonate far beyond their walls.

FOUNDED BY VISIONARY DESIGNER BOTHINA SULIMAN, THIS SAUDI-BASED STUDIO HAS MASTERED THE ABILITY TO TURN SPACE INTO EMOTION, CREATING INTERIORS THAT SPEAK THE QUIET LANGUAGE OF SOPHISTICATION.

THEIR RECENT RECOGNITION AS ONE OF LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS’ TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS FOR 2025 IS A REFLECTION OF A PHILOSOPHY THAT FUSES INNOVATION, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND HEART INTO EVERY DESIGN NARRATIVE.

A Journey of Distinction

w ip-interior-design.de

From its earliest days, Bothina Design anchored its promise on bespoke craftsmanship, intimate client engagement, and a layered aesthetic that marries Middle-Eastern cultural nuance with refined contemporary design. The firm provides not only design but full consultation, furnishing, and project execution, enabling clients to visualise and live their aspirations with ease. That commitment has borne tangible recognition. In 2025, Bothina Design won the LLA title of Best Luxury Residential Interior Design in Saudi Arabia for their “Al Malqa” project.

Signature Style and Approach

What sets Bothina Design apart is a refined methodology that balances grand vision and human-scale lived experience. From initial consulta

tions and full 3D visualisations to meticulous supervision, the practice describes its process as deeply collaborative: clients are invited into the creative journey, with options for custom furnishings, material palettes, and spatial configurations. Within the portfolio, one sees hallmark features: fluid open-plan living spaces, plush textures, and rich finishes interwoven with warm neutrals. Gold-toned accents, velvet upholstery, and statement rugs emerge in several villas and premium residences, reflecting both luxury and comfort. The design language speaks of layered elegance, not ostentatious show-pieces, but refined environments that feel lived-in yet exceptional.

Operating in Riyadh gives Bothina Design a unique vantage point: a city where tradition and global dynamism meet. In this context, the studio’s work honours regional architectural heritage while embracing international quality and luxury benchmarks. Being featured among the 20 Best Interior Designers in Riyadh by a leading design publication underlines this local-to-global trajectory. This duality, rooted in place, yet expansive in vision, aligns perfectly with the Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ ethos of recognising world-class design that doesn’t lose its sense of identity. The listing among the TOP 100 Interior Designers not only underscores Bothina Design’s aesthetic excellence but also its operational maturity and market relevance.

What This Means for Clients

Choosing Bothina Design means more than selecting a supplier of finishes; it means embracing a partner in design who stewards the full journey from concept sketch through procurement and installation to that final, elevated moment of reveal. With a track record

of awards, carefully crafted environments, and an ethos rooted in both design integrity and client-serving precision, the studio offers a compelling proposition for premium residential clients. Whether you’re commissioning a downtown Riyadh penthouse, a Mediterranean-style villa, or a bespoke fit-out driven by art, culture, and craftsmanship, Bothina Design has the credentials, experience, and creative fluency to bring your vision into exquisite reality.

Looking Ahead

With 2025 recognition in hand, the studio appears poised for further global visibility. As boundary-pushing luxury design continues to evolve, driven by sustainability, personalisation, and immersive materials, Bothina Design’s foundation in thoughtful innovation positions it to lead not just locally but internationally. For clients seeking interiors that transcend the expected, yet are rooted in place and personality, this is a design house to watch.

Cultural Context Meets Global Standard

WORLD FOR 2025, A RECOGNITION POWERFUL PRESENCE WITHIN THE

APPROACH TO CREATING SPACES

Founded in 2008 by the creative duo Sarah and Gilbert, the studio’s dual base in Beirut and Dubai reflects a cross-cultural versatility that defines their work. Over the years, BUS Architects has become synonymous with architectural integrity and sensory storytelling, designing homes, restaurants, and hospitality spaces that connect people to place in imagi-

The Philosophy of Duality

At the heart of BUS Architects lies a philosophy that merges two disciplines, architecture and interior design, into one coherent experience. Sarah and Gilbert believe that one cannot exist in isolation from the other; their process begins with a narrative, a purpose, and a feeling.

This approach results in spaces that are not only visually engaging but also emotionally charged. Each project begins with research and conversation, listening to clients, understanding context, and exploring the surrounding environment. Whether it’s a refined residence in the hills of Lebanon or a contemporary hospitality venue in Dubai, their designs evoke a sense of belonging that feels both modern and grounded in

From Concept to Completion

BUS Architects is a full-service design firm that manages every stage of a project from concept to completion. Their portfolio spans a wide range, from private residences and offices to restaurants and cultural spaces. The studio’s versatility is perhaps best seen in Beirut’s celebrated house of butlers, leo la terrace , lucyLu, and Mimi.

For BUS Architects, context is not a constraint; it’s inspiration. The studio’s Beirut origins play a central role in shaping its design language, informed by a city that thrives on contrast: resilience and fragility, history and innovation. This cultural interplay informs every project the team undertakes, allowing them to design with sensitivity and sophistication across geographies. In Dubai, their work reflects a similar balance between modernity

The synergy between Sarah and Gilbert defines the firm’s creative rhythm. Gilbert leads the architectural and spatial narrative, ensur ing structure and proportion are precise and expressive. Sarah refines that foundation through her mastery of FF&E, the furniture, finishes, and details that bring warmth and intimacy. This collaboration is more than a professional partnership; it’s an artistic dialogue. Each project becomes a conversation between two perspectives, one rooted in spatial geometry, the other in sensory experience. The result is work that feels balanced, intuitive, and deeply human.

Experience Their World

From Beirut’s trend-setting dining scene to Dubai’s modern architectural canvas, BUS Architects continues to influence how spaces are imagined, inhabited, and remembered. With each project, they prove that architecture is not only about form but about feeling, a dialogue between structure and soul.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF EMOTION: INSIDE CLAIRE DOMINICS BURO’S SENSORY APPROACH TO

DESIGN

A Vision Rooted in Multisensory Design

At the core of Claire Dominics Buro’s work lies the belief that interiors should engage far more than the eye. Each space is conceived as an emotional landscape — one that unfolds through light, texture, acoustics, scent, and spatial rhythm. Designing for all five senses, the studio crafts immersive atmospheres that shape how people feel, move, and connect within a space. The result is not a singular aesthetic signature, but a carefully orchestrated experience — environments that resonate on a psychological as well as visual level.

Rather than imposing style, Claire Dominics Buro curates mood, memory, and meaning.

CLAIRE DOMINICS BURO HAS BEEN SELECTED AMONG THE LUXURY LIFESTYLE

AWARDS’ TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD 2025, RECOGNISED FOR ITS DISTINCTIVE DESIGN

PHILOSOPHY ROOTED IN SENSORY STORYTELLING, BIOPHILIC THINKING, AND CULTURALLY LAYERED LUXURY ENVIRONMENTS.

Art as Spatial Narrative

Art curation is central to the studio’s creative process. Spaces are envisioned as immersive galleries, where collectible design pieces, commissioned artworks, and cultural artefacts become integral components of the architectural narrative. Collaborations with artists and makers introduce layers of identity and storytelling that transform interiors into living cultural expressions.

Within Claire Dominics Buro’s environments, art is not decorative — it is spatial, emotional, and contextual.

Biophilia & Sustainable Luxury

Nature forms an intrinsic framework within the studio’s design language.

Biophilic principles guide spatial planning, material selection, and environmental flow. Natural light, organic textures, living greenery, and tactile finishes are integrated to foster well-being and sensory balance.

Sustainability is approached as an extension of luxury — expressed through responsibly sourced materials, artisanal fabrication, and an emphasis on longevity over trend. Each project reflects a commitment to environmental sensitivity without compromising refinement or experiential richness.

Culture, Context & Global Perspective

Working across international luxury destinations, the studio’s approach is deeply informed by cultural dialogue. Local craftsmanship, heritage references, and regional materiality are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens — ensuring that each project remains globally sophisticated yet locally grounded.

This balance between cultural authenticity and modern expression defines the studio’s design signature across hospitality, residential, and experiential environments.

A Look Ahead

Recognised among the Top 100 Interior Designers of the World 2025 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, Claire Dominics Buro continues to shape a design trajectory defined by sensory innovation, cultural dialogue, and experiential depth.

The studio’s ongoing exploration of multisensory environments and art-driven spatial storytelling points toward a future where interiors transcend function — becoming immersive landscapes designed not only to be seen, but profoundly felt. Each forthcoming project reflects a deepening commitment to emotional resonance, environmental sensitivity, and the evolving rituals of contemporary living.

With an expanding international presence, Claire Dominics Buro operates through a network of creative studios spanning Europe and the Mediterranean. Established bases in Como and Barcelona anchor the studio’s European design dialogue — drawing inspiration from heritage craftsmanship, architectural history, and rich material traditions.

The Buro has also been firmly present in the Middle East for several years, with its Dubai studio serving as a key hub for regional projects. Building on this foundation, the past year marked the opening of an additional creative showroom and art gallery in the city — an important step in the studio’s continued evolution.

Conceived as both a design space and a curatorial platform, the venue reflects Claire Dominics Buro’s sensory and culture-led philosophy. It brings together architecture, interiors, and carefully curated artworks within one immersive environment, supporting the studio’s growing body of work across the MENA region and internationally.

Final Thoughts

Claire Dominics Buro exists as a creative atelier where architecture, emotion, and craftsmanship come together in quiet balance.

Each project is guided by the pursuit of harmony across all five senses — spaces where light, materiality, nature, and art are thoughtfully composed to create immersive, emotionally resonant environments. Rooted in biophilic thinking, sustainable values, and cultural authenticity, the studio’s work reaches beyond aesthetics into something more deeply human.

As its international footprint continues to grow — from its European studios in Como and Barcelona to its established and expanding presence in Dubai and the wider Middle East — Claire Dominics Buro remains dedicated to shaping a more experiential language of contemporary luxury.

For those who encounter its spaces, the impression is lasting — an experience that lingers well beyond the physical environment itself.

Bringing Vision to Life in Challenging Conditions

Despite the complexity and high level of precision required, the project was delivered in full and stands as a showcase of the studio’s technical understanding, coordination skills, and resilience.

• Luxury loose furniture, bespoke lighting, window treatments, rugs, outdoor furnishings and accessories

Every element is sourced directly from trusted producers, ensuring efficiency, authenticity and quality at every stage.

THE CULTURAL ELEGANCE OF GCR DESIGN: A

NEW ERA IN NORDIC INTERIORS

RECOGNIZED AMONG THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD 2025, GCR DESIGN AS / GUNVOR C RØKHOLT CONTINUES TO GUIDE NORWAY’S CONTEMPORARY DESIGN LANDSCAPE WITH A CULTURALLY ROOTED PERSPECTIVE. THE STUDIO HAS BEEN CELEBRATED BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS FOR ITS DISTINCTIVE APPROACH, HONORING HISTORY, ELEVATING CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND PLACING EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE AT THE FOREFRONT. WITH THE ACCLAIMED FRØYENHUSET, KNUTHOLMEN PROJECT, FOUNDER GUNVOR CATHERIN RØKHOLT DEMONSTRATES HER TALENT FOR MERGING CULTURAL DEPTH WITH FORWARD-THINKING INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS. LED BY RØKHOLT, THE STUDIO BRINGS NORWEGIAN HERITAGE INTO THE PRESENT THROUGH THOUGHTFUL ATMOSPHERES THAT FEEL CONNECTED TO PLACE, MEMORY, COMMUNITY, AND NATURE.

A Coastal Treasure Reborn: FRØYENHUSET, KNUTHOLMEN

One standout example of the studio’s philosophy in practice is FRØYENHUSET at Knutholmen, a project that has been recognized as the Best Luxury Apartment Interior Design in Norway. Once a lively coastal trading point where fishermen stocked goods and locals gathered, the building has been thoughtfully renewed into three characterful apartments that honor its origins while embracing refined modern living. Rather than reinvent history, GCR Design allows it to guide the experience. Architectural charm and historic texture remain present, while comfort, function, and atmosphere are elevated through natural materials, considered lighting, and warm, expressive tones.

The intent was not only to restore the structure, but to let guests feel connected to the life it once held. Each apartment reflects the personality and era of key historical owners from 1860 onward, including Mr. Frøyen, Mr. Fosse, and Mr. Fosse Jr. Wallpaper choices, color palettes, and stylistic details echo their time periods, creating playful contrasts and visual storytelling moments that invite curiosity. These subtle cues ensure every space carries a distinct identity, rooted in the building’s legacy. The result is an interior environment where coastal heritage and contemporary ease coexist in balance. Bold accents, authentic materials, and artisanal touches bring richness and texture, while the overall feeling remains calm, welcoming, and deeply connected to Norwegian culture. FRØYENHUSET stands as a meaningful demonstration of how history, humanity, and modern comfort can live side by side in a space that feels personal, storied, and truly lived in.

The Design Philosophy: Culture, People, and Quiet Depth

At the core of the studio lies a belief that spaces hold meaning and memory. Led by Røkholt, GCR Design shapes interiors that feel soulful and relevant, celebrating Norwegian culture while embracing contemporary living. Collaboration plays a key role in every project, ensuring the final result reflects both its users and its context. Her interior approach supports wellbeing and balance. These are spaces that encourage calmness, joy, connection, and creativity. Through organic textures, soft tones, and an elevated yet understated aesthetic, the studio creates environments that feel warm, grounded, and genuinely luxurious. These interiors are lived experiences, not static showcases.

ID WORKS GLOBAL

SAUDI ARABIA

SAUDI ARABIA ID WORKS GLOBAL: THE POWERHOUSE BEHIND THE REGION’S MOST INNOVATIVE WORKSPACES

IN AN ERA WHEN ARCHITECTURAL FAÇADES MAY CAPTIVATE INITIAL ATTENTION, IT IS THE INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS THAT BREATHE LIFE AND MEANING INTO BUILT SPACES. AT THE INTERSECTION OF BOLD VISION AND TECHNICAL PRECISION STANDS ID WORKS GLOBAL, A DESIGN-AND-BUILD STUDIO THAT TURNS SPATIAL INNOVATION INTO IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES. BASED ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST WITH STRONG PRESENCE IN SAUDI ARABIA, THE UAE, AND JORDAN, ID WORKS GLOBAL HAS STEADILY BUILT A REPUTATION AS A LEADER IN WORKPLACE ARCHITECTURE, COMMERCIAL FIT-OUT, AND INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION.

Their holistic approach, from early concept development through to onsite execution, positions them uniquely among firms that merely design or merely contract. They are equally skilled at spatial programming, material selection, concepting, and the technical rigors of build.

A Milestone

In 2025, ID Works Global was selected among the Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ TOP 100 Interior Designers of the World, a recognition reserved for firms that combine aesthetic originality, consistency in quality, and visionary leadership.

Notably, their project CNTXT Headquarters in Riyadh was awarded Best Contemporary Interior Construction & Fit-Out under the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. This award amplifies their strength not just in design, but in delivering turnkey fit-out solutions that exceed luxury standards.

Such accolades serve as global validation. For prospective clients, it signals a partner who is recognized by international peers and juries for refined execution and forward thinking.

Design Philosophy & Workflow

One of the most defining aspects of ID Works Global’s practice lies in their process: they marry creativity with discipline. From their “Design” stage, the team generates full 3D models, concept palettes, material boards, cabinetry and furnishing schemes, and detailed

technical drawings, creating a clear, visual roadmap early on that helps reduce ambiguity downstream.

They also emphasize “innovative thinking on how interior space is used”, in other words, form must follow function, and flexibility is a key ingredient.

Moreover, the integration of interior construction in their scope means that design is never abstract; instead, every concept is rooted in buildability, procurement logistics, and on-site realities. This bridges the frequent gap between architectural intent and the delivered environment.

Signature Projects & Recognitions

Beyond the CNTXT headquarters, ID Works Global has made its mark in multiple domains:

• Their work in office environments has been a core strength, transforming workplaces into inspiring settings that can elevate productivity, creativity, and brand identity.

• On social media, the firm presents itself as a “leading fit-out company for commercial office spaces” across Riyadh, Dubai, and Jordan, emphasizing regional reach and capability.

• They were also recognized as Best Interior CGI Company, Saudi Arabia, for their excellence in 3D visualization, underlining their technical and presentation prowess.

• ID Works has also been shortlisted for awards like Interior Design Firm of the Year, Fit-Out Firm of the Year, and CEO of the Year in regional design awards circuits.

• These highlights reflect a trajectory that balances visual flair, technical depth, and local/regional influence.

Why ID Works Global Stands Out

1. Full-Service, Integrated Capability

Many design firms stop at the schematic level; many contractors execute but lack creative vision. ID Works bridges both realms. This integration yields smoother coordination,

better accountability, and fewer gaps between intent and output.

2. Strong Technical & Visualization Tools

Their in-house CGI and 3D modeling prowess ensures that clients can “see” a project before it is built, which helps in decision-making, avoiding reworks, and managing expectations. Their earlier award for CGI excellence underscores that strength.

3. Regional Relevance with Global Standards

While rooted in the Middle East, ID Works operates with global sensibilities; their enrolment in international awards, alignment with luxury trends, and ability to meet global standards (materials, finishes, detailing) give them an edge in projects that demand world-class delivery.

4. Recognition & Credibility

Being named as one of the Top 100 Interior Designers of the World by Luxury Lifestyle Awards functions as a mark of trust, a differentiator when clients compare firms. Their award-winning CNTXT headquarters project shows they back up recognition with execution.

Looking Ahead: Opportunities & Growth

With rising demand for premium workplace settings, lifestyle office campuses, branded corporate identities, and hybrid workspaces, ID Works Global is well-positioned to capture growth. Their ability to scale across multiple geographies (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan) and deliver end-to-end services makes them a compelling partner for developers, corporates, and institutions aiming for distinction.

In summary, ID Works Global is a maturing force in premium interior design and fit-out, with a rare combination of creative vision, rigorous execution, and strategic recognition. Their inclusion in the 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Awards Top 100 Interior Designers of the World is a milestone that celebrates past successes and serves as a launch pad for future ambition. For clients seeking a partner who can design, build, and deliver spaces of distinction, ID Works Global stands as a name to trust.

INSIDE JAQUE BETHKE

DESIGN’S HUMANCENTERED APPROACH TO LUXURY INTERIORS

FOUNDED IN 2017, JAQUE BETHKE DESIGN HAS EMERGED AS A DEFINING FORCE IN CONTEMPORARY LUXURY INTERIORS, EARNING GLOBAL RECOGNITION AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS. THIS DISTINCTION REFLECTS A BODY OF WORK THAT MOVES FAR BEYOND AESTHETICS, SHAPING ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE INTUITIVE, IMMERSIVE, AND DEEPLY PERSONAL. RATHER THAN IMPOSING A SIGNATURE STYLE, THE FIRM APPROACHES EVERY PROJECT AS A UNIQUE EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPE, CRAFTED WITH SENSITIVITY, PRECISION, AND INTENT.

Personalization as a Design Foundation

At Jaque Bethke Design, personalization is not a feature added at the end of the process. It is the starting point. The firm operates as a luxury architectural design build studio, working across hospitality, residential, retail, and commercial spaces with a methodology rooted in observation. Each project begins with a close study of how people live, move, gather, and feel within a space. Daily rituals, service flow, guest behavior, and subtle emotional cues are all carefully analyzed before a single material is selected.

Design decisions are guided by how a space should feel rather than how it should photograph. Lighting, acoustics, spatial rhythm, and materiality are orchestrated to support emotional resonance. The result is an environment that feels instinctive and natural, even when it is technically complex. These interiors do not simply reflect the client’s identity. They elevate it.

The result is an environment that feels instinctive and natural, even when it is technically complex. These interiors do not simply reflect the client’s identity. They elevate it.

Sustainable Luxury With Longevity

Sustainability at Jaque Bethke Design is approached with restraint and intelligence. The firm prioritizes longevity as a core environmental strategy, selecting high quality materials designed to endure both visually and functionally. By reducing the need for frequent replacement, projects minimize long-term waste while maintaining a refined aesthetic over time.

The firm works with manufacturers who share its values around ethical production and responsible sourcing. When aligned with a client’s objectives, energy-efficient systems, certified materials, and low-impact construction methods are seamlessly integrated. Sustainability is never treated as an aesthetic compromise. Instead, it becomes part of a cohesive, forward-looking design strategy where beauty and responsibility coexist.

Engineering the Extraordinary

One of the firm’s most demanding projects involved a sculptural installation for The House of Alchemy and Air. The vision centered on three monumental geodes, including two amethysts and one rare pink specimen, each weighing over 3,000 pounds. The goal was to transform the foyer into a space of spiritual presence and architectural clarity.

Structural walls were removed to create uninterrupted sightlines and allow natural light to interact with the crystals. Custom motorized platforms were engineered to rotate each geode, revealing its interior as kinetic art. Installation required removing exterior windows and using cranes to place the stones with precision, while discreet reinforcements ensured structural integrity. Integrated control systems allowed the platforms to function seamlessly within the home’s automation framework. Guided by sacred geometry and Feng Shui principles, the final result balances engineering rigor with emotional depth.

A Human-Centered Design Ethos

Founded by award-winning designer Jaque Bethke, the firm draws on decades of experience spanning hospitality, residential, and lifestyle design. Her background includes formative work with the Wynn Corporation and iconic properties such as Bellagio. Today, her work continues to explore the relationship between space and self, creating environments that heighten awareness and experience.

Design at Jaque Bethke Design is people first. Each project is a collaboration built on trust, curiosity, and shared vision. The result is not just a finished interior, but a place that holds meaning long after completion.

KIRA DESIGN LIMITED

HONG KONG

KIRA DESIGN LTD: HONG KONG’S PREMIER LUXURY INTERIOR AND ARCHITECTURE STUDIO

WHEN A DESIGN HOUSE EARNS ITS PLACE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE OF LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGN, IT’S BECAUSE IT CONSISTENTLY MERGES AESTHETIC BRILLIANCE WITH TECHNICAL MASTERY, CLIENT FOCUS WITH PROJECT DISCIPLINE. THIS IS PRECISELY THE ACHIEVEMENT OF KIRA DESIGN LTD, A HONG KONG–BASED FULL-SERVICE INTERIOR AND ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE THAT HAS NOT ONLY CREATED STANDOUT RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES ACROSS HONG KONG AND CHINA, BUT HAS NOW BEEN HONOURED BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD 2025.

An Integrated Approach: Design Meets Construction

At the heart of KIRA Design’s appeal lies a faultless integration of design and delivery. The firm specialises in interiors, architecture, contracting works, home furnishing, and lighting products, and is backed by its own in-house construction company, Times Creative Construction Ltd, and their own furnishing company, MOI Home Collection Ltd. This means from initial concept, through detailed design, procurement of furnishings and lighting, construction, and on-site fit-out, the client deals with one cohesive team. That kind of end-to-end capability is rare and becomes a major differentiator in high-end luxury projects.

Excellence in the Luxury Realm

KIRA Design’s pedigree is deeply anchored in the luxury residential and commercial sectors. The team has successfully worked for major property developers in Hong Kong and China, and on bespoke private residences of discerning clients. Within this demanding sphere, KIRA’s design and project management teams are noted for their “wealth of experience and knowledge” and for operating to the highest standards of quality, time management, and cost control.

Projects That Speak Volumes

KIRA Design is an all-rounded interior firm whose work encompasses various types of projects, including apartments, houses, sales offices and galleries, clubhouses, etc., for commercial purposes.

These projects reflect KIRA’s design philosophy: fuse creativity with functionality; pay meticulous attention to detail; always respect budget and timeline.

Creating a Unique Client Experience

What truly elevates KIRA Design is their client-centric approach. From the very start, the team invests time with each client to understand their needs, dreams, and lifestyle. They then craft tailor-made design solutions that match aesthetic ambitions with practicality, cost-effectiveness, and project rigor.

This close-knit collaboration ensures the client’s vision becomes tangible, beautiful to look at, but also lived-in, functional, and

comfortable. The result is that projects feel like custom-created chapters of a homeowner’s story.

Why the TOP 100 Recognition Matters

Being selected among the TOP 100 Interior Designers of the World by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards is a significant endorsement. It signals that KIRA Design stands among the very best globally. For clients in Asia, or those investing in Hong Kong and Greater China luxury real estate, working with such a design house offers reassurance: design distinction, streamlined delivery, and premium service.

Looking Ahead: Inspiring Tomorrow’s Luxury Spaces

In an era where luxury means more than opulence – it demands authenticity, individuality, and integration – KIRA Design is wellpositioned. Its portfolio shows a willingness to innovate (the use of custom furniture, unique lighting solutions, material transitions), while its structure supports full delivery. The built-in construction arm means fewer hand-offs, likely fewer delays or mismatches, and a cohesive vision from sketch to finish.

UAE LIGHT, TEXTURE, AND INTENTION: INSIDE LEI INTERIOR DESIGN

FOUNDED IN 2023 AND HEADQUARTERED IN DUBAI’S BUSINESS BAY, LEI INTERIOR DESIGN HAS RAPIDLY EMERGED AS A DISTINCTIVE FORCE IN THE REGION’S DESIGN LANDSCAPE. THE STUDIO, LED BY CEO AND ARCHITECT SARAH MONTI, BRINGS A MEASURED SENSIBILITY TO RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES, COMBINING ARCHITECTURAL CLARITY WITH A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR TEXTURE, LIGHT, AND MATERIAL. WITHIN JUST A SHORT SPAN, THE COMPANY’S WORK HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION TO ITS THOUGHTFUL APPROACH, RECOGNIZED BY THE LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS 2025 AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD.

A project worth highlighting is the Mina Azizi, Palm Jumeirah project in Dubai, UAE. It represents the firm’s design philosophy in full expression: restrained, functional, and quietly luxurious. Originally constructed in 2021, the apartment had good structural potential but lacked a connection to its surroundings. LEI Interior Design approached the renovation as an opportunity to create a living environment that resonates with the rhythm of coastal Dubai.

Mission, Vision, and Values

At the core of LEI Interior Design lies a philosophy that unites architectural precision with creative ambition. The studio’s mission centers on maintaining advanced technical knowledge across engineering systems, materials innovation, and construction methodologies to ensure every project meets the highest standards of design excellence. Its vision extends beyond aesthetics, seeking to set new benchmarks in both quality and imagination, producing spaces that inspire while addressing real human needs. With a team of international designers and specialists, LEI Interior Design is guided by values of integrity, innovation, and collaboration, principles that shape environments where individuality and functionality coexist in equal measure.

One-on-One Consulting

LEI Interior Design offers a personalized consultation service designed for clients seeking expert guidance before initiating a full design commission. These one-on-one sessions with the studio’s lead

architect or designer allow for a deep exploration of each client’s vision, lifestyle, and expectations. The process focuses on spatial optimization, design feasibility, and tailored aesthetic direction, ensuring that every project begins with clarity and confidence. Consultations may be conducted on-site or virtually, providing flexibility for international clients and ensuring that each recommendation reflects both practicality and aspiration.

Specialized Services and Project Highlights

The studio’s service portfolio illustrates its holistic approach to design and delivery. Through 3D visualization, LEI Interior Design brings ideas to life with photorealistic renderings and conceptual studies that communicate every nuance of a space, from materials and finishes to light and proportion. This capability extends across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, helping clients make informed design decisions before construction begins.

Its turn-key project service transforms concepts into completed spaces with precision. From procurement and custom fabrication to white-glove installation, the studio oversees every stage with rigorous quality control and a strong focus on client experience. Meanwhile, project management ensures that schedules, budgets,

and construction standards remain aligned with the original design intent. Weekly reporting, site supervision, and coordination with contractors and suppliers guarantee smooth execution from initial demolition to final handover.

Together, these services reflect LEI Interior Design’s comprehensive and disciplined approach, where creativity is balanced by technical mastery and every project is guided from concept to completion with clarity and care.

Building a Thoughtful Future

Though still a young practice, LEI Interior Design’s trajectory suggests a clear sense of purpose. With its base in Dubai and plans to expand within the UAE, the studio positions itself as part of a new generation of design firms focused on restraint, precision, and environmental awareness.

LEI Interior Design’s growing portfolio continues to reinforce its philosophy: luxury as a matter of intention and clarity, where every element earns its place, and every decision shapes the experience of modern living.

ROMANIA NOBLESSE GROUP INTERNATIONAL: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO INTERIOR DESIGN

DESIGN, AT ITS MOST MEANINGFUL, GOES BEYOND AESTHETICS – IT SHAPES THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, AND INTERACT WITH SPACE. FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES, NOBLESSE GROUP INTERNATIONAL HAS APPROACHED INTERIOR DESIGN AS A DISCIPLINED CREATIVE PRACTICE, GROUNDED IN ARCHITECTURAL LOGIC, MATERIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ENVIRONMENTS INFLUENCE EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE. THIS MEASURED AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH HAS LED TO THE COMPANY’S RECOGNITION AMONG LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS’ TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD FOR 2025.

Founded in 2007, Noblesse Group International operates as an integrated design studio, providing interior architecture and turnkey solutions for residential, commercial, hospitality, and office projects. Each project is conceived as a complete ecosystem, ensuring that space planning, finishes, furnishing,s and lighting work as a unified whole to support refined and meaningful lifestyles.

An Integrated Studio Model Focused on Lifestyle Value

Noblesse Group International distinguishes itself through a multidisciplinary structure that allows the studio to manage projects from concept development through final implementation. Rather than separating creative vision from execution, the firm maintains oversight across every phase of a project, coordinating design intent with technical precision. This approach ensures continuity, efficiency, and clarity, qualities particularly valued in complex, large-scale interiors.

The group’s ecosystem includes several complementary entities, such as Noblesse Interiors, Studio InSign, Primas Home, Fusion Arts, Noblesse Academy, and Palatul Noblesse – Lifestyle Palace. Together, these entities support a broad spectrum of activities ranging from bespoke interior design and architectural services to design education and cultural programming. This structure enables the studio to operate both as a commercial practice and as a platform for professional exchange within the design community.

Residential, Hospitality, Commercial, and Well-Being Expertise

Noblesse Group International’s portfolio reflects a wide range of typologies, with projects spanning private residences, hotels, wellness retreats, restaurants, offices, and mixed-use spaces. Across these varied contexts, the studio maintains a consistent design language rooted in proportion, material selection, and spatial clarity.

Residential projects are characterized by thoughtful layouts that prioritize comfort and long-term usability, often combining contemporary lines with classic references tailored to individual lifestyles. In hospitality and wellness environments, the firm focuses on atmosphere and flow, using light, texture, and spatial rhythm to support guest experience. Commercial and office interiors are developed with attention to functionality, brand identity, and employee well-being, balancing aesthetic restraint with operational requirements.

Notable Projects and Design Direction

Among the studio’s recognized works is the Alma Health & Spa Retreat, a wellness destination where architecture and interior design are closely aligned to support relaxation and restoration. The project incorporates natural materials, subdued color palettes, and carefully calibrated lighting to create a calm and immersive environment. Dining spaces within the retreat demonstrate the studio’s ability to adapt its design approach to different functions while maintaining overall coherence.

The studio has also delivered award-winning hospitality interiors for Radisson Blu Bucharest and Mercure Brasov, projects that demonstrate Noblesse Group International’s ability to interpret international brand standards while adding local character, warmth, and lifestyle-driven experiences.

Other projects, including high-end penthouse residences and adaptive reuse interiors, illustrate Noblesse Group International’s sensitivity to architectural context. Whether working within contemporary structures or historic buildings, the studio approaches each space with respect for its structural framework while introducing modern functionality and refined detailing.

These projects reflect the studio’s expertise in crafting environments that resonate emotionally with guests while meeting the highest operational standards.

A Tailored Approach to Materials and Furnishings

Material selection plays a central role in the firm’s design methodology. Noblesse Group International works with a broad range of international furniture, lighting, and surface manufacturers, integrating premium products into custom design solutions. Rather than relying on trend-driven aesthetics, the studio prioritizes longevity, craftsmanship, and tactile quality.

This curatorial discipline allows each interior to feel considered and purposeful, with furnishings and finishes selected not as focal points but as integral components of the overall spatial composition. The result is interiors that age well and remain adaptable to evolving needs.

Cultural Engagement and Design Education

Beyond project work, Noblesse Group International maintains an active role in cultural and educational initiatives. Palatul Noblesse, a restored historic building, serves as both a showroom and a venue for exhibitions, lectures, and industry events. Through this space, the firm contributes to ongoing dialogue around architecture and interior design, supporting professional development and public engagement.

The company’s educational efforts extend through Noblesse Academy, reinforcing its commitment to nurturing future design professionals and encouraging informed design practices.

Global Recognition in 2025

The LLA’s recognition among the TOP 100 Interior Designers of the World in 2025 reflects Noblesse Group International’s sustained contribution to the field. The recognition recognizes not only the studio’s diverse portfolio but also its structured approach to design, one that values clarity, consistency, and careful execution.

As the interior design industry continues to evolve, Noblesse Group International remains focused on creating spaces defined by balance, usability, and architectural integrity, but also creating spaces that support meaningful living, refined hospitality, and elevated lifestyles, solidifying its position as a respected voice in the international design landscape.

OE DESIGN LTD:

TORONTO’S MASTER OF

MODERN SOPHISTICATION

OE DESIGN LTD HAS BEEN HONORED BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD IN 2025, A DISTINCTION THAT CELEBRATES THE COMPANY’S SIGNATURE APPROACH TO REFINED, HIGH-END LIVING. BASED IN TORONTO, THE FIRM HAS EARNED RECOGNITION FOR ITS HOLISTIC VISION, WHERE ARCHITECTURE, INTERIORS, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP CONVERGE TO FORM RESIDENCES THAT EXUDE SOPHISTICATION, ARTISTRY, AND INDIVIDUALITY.

Founded by Omid Taba, a creative force whose eye for proportion, texture, and innovation has shaped the firm’s identity, OE Design LTD has built its reputation on the philosophy that true luxury is not an addition, it’s inherent in every decision. Over the past two decades, Taba has evolved a distinct design language defined by purposeful details and an instinctive understanding of how people live within their spaces. His projects go beyond structure and décor; they express narratives that unfold through light, form, and materiality. For Taba, a home should not merely accommodate, it should inspire. Each residence he designs tells its own story, shaped by its owners yet elevated by OE Design’s mastery of spatial balance and visual rhythm. This balance of artistic vision and technical precision has cemented the company’s place among the most respected design studios in North America.

From Blueprint to Masterpiece

Every OE Design project begins with deep understanding. The team invests time in learning about their clients, their routines, desires, and the subtle ways they define comfort. This insight fuels designs that are personal, practical, and profoundly beautiful. The firm’s multidisciplinary approach spans architectural design, interior design, furniture selection, finishing, equipment, and construction project management. Whether clients seek a complete turnkey experience or wish to engage OE Design for a specific aspect of their build, they are guided through a process that is both refined and highly collaborative. The result is a home that feels not just finished, but complete, crafted for living, yet worthy of admiration.

The Vision of Omid Taba: Redefining Luxury Living

Architecture at OE Design is conceived as a dialogue between form and feeling. Each structure is envisioned to enhance its environment, combining strength and grace through carefully composed geometry and materials. The firm’s portfolio includes grand estate properties and modern urban sanctuaries, each distinguished by a thoughtful use of proportion and light. Rather than imposing a style, OE Design shapes every home around its inhabitants’ way of life. This sensitivity ensures that every project feels authentic, an architectural signature uniquely attuned to the people who live within it.

Interiors That Speak Volumes

Inside, OE Design’s spaces balance sophistication with intimacy. The interiors reflect an artful layering of textures, materials, and tones, where marble, wood, glass, and textiles interact in refined harmony. Each element is intentional, serving both function and emotion. From expansive open-plan living areas to private retreats, OE Design’s interiors radiate quiet grandeur. Their work across Toronto’s most exclusive neighborhoods captures the essence of elevated urban living, offering both serenity and drama in equal measure. These are interiors that do not follow trends, they define them.

While Toronto remains its foundation, OE Design’s influence extends far beyond. The company’s portfolio spans North America and the Caribbean, demonstrating its ability to adapt to diverse architectural landscapes and client aspirations. Whether designing a lakeside villa or a cosmopolitan penthouse, the team brings the same precision, artistry, and respect for context. This global reach reflects

OE Design’s philosophy that true design excellence knows no borders, it is guided by creativity, not geography. Every project, regardless of scale or setting, upholds the company’s defining principle: luxury as a standard, not a feature.

What sets OE Design apart is its ability to transform a vision into a sensory experience. Every project is treated as a living canvas, an exploration of proportion, light, and texture that stirs emotion and evokes presence. For Omid Taba, the purpose of design extends beyond visual beauty; it lies in creating a connection between people and their surroundings. At the core of his philosophy is the belief that a home should not be static. It should evolve with its inhabitants, responding to their moods, habits, and milestones. This human-centered approach is what makes OE Design’s spaces resonate deeply with those who inhabit them.

The Art of Modern Sophistication

Over 200 completed projects later, OE Design continues to push the boundaries of luxury living. Each new endeavor reinforces its position as a leader in bespoke residential design, a studio where creativity and construction exist in perfect synchrony. Its spaces are more than architectural achievements; they are expressions of contemporary artistry, built to inspire and endure. As luxury living continues to evolve, OE Design remains steadfast in its pursuit of innovation, crafting homes that speak to both the senses and the soul. From architectural concepts to final flourishes, every detail is handled with precision and purpose, ensuring that each creation feels uniquely personal.

RAMY BOUTROS ARCHITECTS LEBANON

LEBANON DESIGN WITH CHARACTER: THE INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE OF RAMY BOUTROS ARCHITECTS

IN 2025, RAMY BOUTROS ARCHITECTS HAS EARNED ITS POSITION AMONG THE TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD, AN HONOR GRANTED BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS. THE STUDIO’S PHILOSOPHY IS SUMMED UP IN THE WORDS OF FOUNDER RAMY BOUTROS, WHO EXPLAINS: “I SEE REALIZATION IN DREAMS, AND DREAMS INSIDE EMPTY SPACES COMING TO LIFE. I BELIEVE THAT LUXURY LIES WITHIN COMFORT, AND COMFORT WITHIN LUXURY… OUR DESIGNS BREATHE LIFE INTO SPACES, EMBEDDING A STORY INSIDE EVERY PROJECT.” THIS GUIDING PERSPECTIVE SHAPES EVERY INTERIOR THE FIRM CREATES.

A Practice Built on Atmosphere and Emotional Connection

Headquartered in Beirut, the studio navigates exterior and interior architecture; from residential, hospitality, commercial, landscape projects to product design, including furniture and jewelry, with a commitment to creating not merely interiors, but lifestyles.

Rather than following a single aesthetic direction, the firm prioritizes atmosphere, how materials, textures, and objects influence mood, comfort, and sensory experience. Founder Ramy Boutros leads the practice with an understanding that design should reflect both the client’s aspirations and the cultural context of the project.

Sensitivity & Intention

Ramy Boutros Architects is known for architecture where texture, color, and natural materials work together to shape character. Wood, stone, metal, and fabric are treated not merely as finishes, but as expressive elements that contribute to the identity of a space.

Light plays a crucial role across the studio’s projects, guiding the overall feel and influencing how materials come to life throughout the day. The Team's purpose is to meticulously craft an identity for each project by injecting depth, individuality and soul into every space.

BT Bizri Apartment

The BT Bizri Apartment in Lebanon, completed in 2024, is a defining example of the studio’s philosophy. The homeowner envisioned a place filled with sunlight and warmth, with wood playing a central role in shaping the environment.

The design introduces a wrapped-wood interior, covering both walls and ceilings in light-toned timber to create a calm, enclosed feel. This “box effect” supports a sense of comfort and intimacy, while the large windows allow daylight to become an active design element. Throughout the home, eclectic furnishings, textiles, and personal pieces enrich the space without overwhelming its simplicity.

The result is a residence that feels expressive, grounded, and inviting,an interpretation of the client’s lifestyle brought to life through material warmth and thoughtful layout.

Em Sherif Restaurant, Muscat

At the St. Regis Hotel in Muscat, the studio approached the design of Em Sherif Restaurant with an aim to honor the brand’s identity while responding to the coastal environment of Oman.

A palette of blues and whites reflects the sea and sky, helping the interior feel fresh and open. Custom Moucharabieh screens, patterned surfaces, and handmade accents refer to regional heritage, while modern forms and generous glazing keep the space contemporary. The outdoor terraces and winter garden extend the dining experience into different seasonal settings, inviting guests to explore the space beyond its interior.

This project exemplifies the studio’s ability to interpret cultural influences thoughtfully while maintaining a clear, modern narrative.

Jewelry & Furniture

In addition to its architectural and interior design work, Ramy Boutros Architects channels its creative energy into furniture and jewelry collections that echo the same poetic sensibility. Through the pieces, the studio marries wearable art with architectural awareness, offering clients not only spaces to inhabit but objects to treasure, each design bearing a fragment of Ramy Boutros’s vision and the distinct personality of the wearer. Collectible pieces that tell a story, and functional sculptural art are the future of Design.

Firm’s Position in 2025

Several qualities distinguish Ramy Boutros Architects within the global design landscape:

• Crafting lifestyles and spatial identities.

• Expressive Use of Material: Natural surfaces provide warmth, personality, and texture, giving each project depth and presence.

• Strong Sense of Atmosphere: Light, color, and spatial flow are orchestrated to create interiors that influence mood and elevate daily living.

• Highly Personalized Concepts, each project reflects the client’s personality, never a repetition of a previous design.

• Cultural Awareness: The firm approaches international work with sensitivity, ensuring that each project aligns with local context while retaining a unique artistic signature.

As the studio explores new territories and unique commissions, its core philosophy remains unchanged: to breathe life into interiors, honor the essence of material, and reveal stories that connect people to the spaces they inhabit.

AUTHENTIC.

RAW INTERIOR DESIGN STANDS OUT AS A PREMIER INTERIOR DESIGN FIRM BASED IN DUBAI, UAE, OFFERING A COMPELLING COMBINATION OF CREATIVITY, PRECISION, AND LUXURY. THE COMPANY SPECIALISES IN INTERIOR DESIGN, DESIGN

SUPERVISION AND ARCHITECTURE, COVERING RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, RETAIL, HEALTHCARE AND HOSPITALITY ENVIRONMENTS.

Adding further prestige, the global accolade from Luxury Lifestyle Awards (LLA) highlights RAW among the elite designers worldwide. LLA’s TOP 100 Interior Designers of the World represent the most exceptional in luxury interior design studios whose vision, innovation, and quality set new standards.

Distinctive Philosophy & Approach

What sets RAW apart is their holistic philosophy. Their practice isn’t just about decorating a space, it’s about creating environments with purpose, character, and “distinctive design”. Each project is guided by a clear process: from initial vision, through concept and planning, to execution and supervision, ensuring the integrity of design throughout.

The firm emphasises versatility across sectors, not only luxury residences but also corporate offices, retail outlets, healthcare clinics, and hospitality projects. This breadth underscores their adaptability to varied contexts while maintaining luxury standards. Worth mentioning are the company’s past finalist and winner entries for the (UAE-based) Index Architecture & Design Awards and Design Middle East Awards across healthcare, retail, and F&B sectors.

Why the LLA Recognition Matters

Being selected by Luxury Lifestyle Awards in their TOP 100 Interior Designers of the World is a noteworthy achievement. The LLA selection criteria reflect rigorous evaluation of design vision, project portfolio, client impact, and global influence.

For RAW, this recognition signals to clients and the design community alike that they operate at an internationally competitive level. It brings external validation to their commitment to luxury, innovation, and high-end execution.

Portfolio Highlights—Luxury That Speaks

Even a glance at RAW’s project gallery reveals interiors that combine refined materials, thoughtful layouts, and elegance in execution. From high-end residences with bespoke finishes to retail and hospitality spaces that demand both atmosphere and performance, they illustrate the firm’s capacity to realise ambitious visions.

What’s especially commendable is how they bring luxury within functional requirements. Healthcare clinics, corporate offices, and retail units, often not associated with deluxe interiors, are handled by RAW with the same level of craft as a luxury residence. This speaks to their professionalism and range.

Client Promise & Experience

RAW emphasises the promise of seamless coordination, consistent delivery, and design excellence from concept through construction supervision.

For clients seeking turnkey interior solutions in the Middle East (and beyond), RAW offers a one-stop proposition: design vision, detailed planning, supervision, and delivery to the highest standards.

Their track record of finalist and winner awards in regional design competitions further reinforces their experience and credibility in the market.

From concept to completion, from residences to corporate, RAW’s promise is clear: create environments that reflect their clients’ ambition and the lifestyle they aspire to.
