CLI: We always approach our client’s interiors as if they were our personal projects, and always fuel our interiors with creativity and function. For us to receive this award means that our passion is translating into our designs the way we had hoped.

CLI: the design industry in Qatar is booming. We want to be catalysts to the change in the design scene in Doha, ensuring that all our designs are unique, and that of international standards.

CLI: We’re definitely off to a good start with all our current clients being aesthetically aligned with our signature designs that are contemporary, simple and that mix functionality, art, and collectible design.

CLI: One of us (Shaikha) is an interior designer and spent the last decade or so of her career working on luxury hospitality projects in Doha. (Cathrine) is a practicing architect. She earned her experience in interior design from various projects in Qatar, UK and Singapore where she showcased her expertise in classical, Islamic and modern contemporary designs.

CLI: We are both pleasantly surprised at the pace at which the design scene is currently growing. We are also quite selective with the projects we sign on – as we always search for that confident client who is willing to take risks because as we previously mentioned, we are here to set the standard of design for Doha.

CLI: Our passion and motivation to continuously create beautiful timeless interiors are what makes us stand out.

CLI: We follow design trends only when it makes sense to us and to the client/project. We love creating timeless interiors so even when we do follow trends, we make them work with our aesthetic in design.

CLI: neutral palettes and material honesty are two trends that never go out of style. Collectible design is how we like to add uniqueness to our designs and express our client’s tastes and mannerisms.

CLI: Our starting point for designs always starts with our client. They feed us our inspiration! We take the brief they give us and express our design through their eyes. That is why each design we work on is exciting and new for us.

CLI: Our project Caramel House is one of our favorites so far because we worked on the architecture, spatial layouts, room adjacencies, and then also the interiors. It is truly a Casa Lujo project.

CLI: We keep in constant contact with our clients every step of the way. This is to ensure that we are achieving their intent and that we are heading in the right direction. This works perfectly for both us and the client, as it ensures we are on track with our committed schedule.

CLI: We are a boutique studio and we like to ensure quality in all our work. We are a team of 5 designers/architects, each with a specific role to play for each project.

CLI: We are mainly focusing on luxury interiors at the moment and have a couple of project leads for luxury commercial projects which we are also very excited about.
