Signature details

shadow skirting

A recessed metal trim that creates effect of floating walls, protecting them from moisture.

marble frame

To protect wooden flooring from sun and moisture exposure around the windows, we frame the rooms with marble strip, terminated with brushed brass metal trim.

concealed sockets

To avoid spoiling a beautiful countertop or a marble backsplash, we use concealed sockets in such areas.

FULL height doors

Full height doors without top architraves and without thresholds create an effect of rooms flowing one into another uninterruptedly, and visually adds height to the room.

AC & Light tracks

25mm slick AC diffusers are disguised as lighting tracks, while combined with those of the same width.

black shadow gap

15mm shadow gap painted in black, terminated with the same of the door architrave creates a feeling of floating ceilings, visually adding height to the room.

fabric wardrobes

Crafted in best Italian tradition by our local UAE manufacturers, wardrobe shutters stretched with fabric and protected with a metal frame add warmth and texture to one of the most important rooms.

Floating steps

Minimalists at heart, we love our staircases to be floating. The glass handrail is fixed to the steps with metal bolts, which are covered with pieces that resemble continuation of each step.

Concealed Toilet Brush

A custom made metal box clad with the same marble / tile is installed next to the WC water tank, and hosts the toilet brush and toilet paper while hiding it for every day use.
