With a long history in the Interior Design Industry, and a portfolio spanningfrom commercial and office spaces to private residences, I have gained a greatamount of experience and extensive background in managing interior projects,from inception to completion. With a sensitive approach to creative and inno-vative ideas and a high degree of competence.

An Independent Design Consultant since 1994, I have strived over the years todevelop a design language that offers a contemporary interpretation of spacesanchored in time. Whilst a modern solution may be my personal preference, Irecognize the importance of achieving a design that is appropriate to the client’sneeds. This led to the development of a wide range of projects from ultra mod-ern to classical.

All my projects share the same rational approach that guided the creativeprocess. While they integrate subtle design elements that introduced modernvariations on textiles, lighting, fittings and technology, they remain faithful totheir architectural and urban context.

Quality is the key principle to reach a high level of design excellence. Leadingprojects with honesty and integrity ultimately formed the foundation of all thelong-term business relationships I have endeavored to build and sustain allthrough the years.

Villa Hariri

The arched hallways, reminiscentof Abbasid architecture, connectand entwine the inner and outerenvironments in a direct dialoguewith the exterior architecture.They infuse instant grace to theinterior and add a layer of luxuryand grandeur to the whole space.The walkways, generous andconvivial, seem to extend beyondtheir walls to create a frameworkhighlighting spectacular outdoorviews, while acting as a focalpoint, a portal from one area tothe next.

Rawche Residence

The directional orientation of the interior isdetermined by the views of the surroundingseascape where the transition between insideand outside has been expertly choreographed.The graceful patterns and muted brown huesof the walnut wood set the stage for the con-trast with the light shade of the walls, while theback painted glass gives the space an etherealglow with its sleek modern lustre-coating. Thewhite Estremoz Portuguese marble adorns thefloor, and complements the timeless and classicfeel reigning in the house.

The onyx backlit stone serves to lift this freestanding bathtub. With light transmitted through the stone, the effect isdramatic. The backlit component with chrome fixtures, thewooden shelves and cabinetry, and the sea view in theforeground result in a striking master bathroom.

Me. Khadije Office

Inspired by the traditional English Regency design ideas andornamental details, the style is anchored by the use of one colorscheme, which optimizes the sharp contrast and bold patterns thatcharacterize the Regency interiors. This carried through the useof rich textiles, ornate forms, and decorative inlays. The Walnutwood has an ancient quality about it, articulated by lights andmotifs, a greater finesse is afforded to create this private ambiance.
