Design Features
- That wall of glazing on one side does something clever, pulling the palms and greenery outside almost into the room itself, so the seating area and the garden barely feel separate.
- Over on the far wall, a framed piece of Islamic calligraphy in gold sits quietly as the room's one real focal point, the kind everything else naturally seems to arrange itself around.
- Sofas stretch along three of the walls here, which tells you this room was built with a proper gathering in mind rather than just a quiet chat between two or three people.
- The paired ottomans near the coffee tables pick up the same grey blue as the scatter cushions, working as either extra seating or somewhere to rest your feet without breaking the room's rhythm.
- Underfoot, a rug in sweeping cream and blue lines softens what would otherwise be a fairly rigid room of straight sofas and fluted columns.
