Merging Elements of Convenience and Style
March 13, 2020
Led by Marianna Piccolo, My Pick One created the interior for the Fairooz Apartment for a targeted demographic in the Dubai Marina.
This project refers to the niche group of homeowners who dislike the concept of a one-sizefits-all design for residential apartments. It's a unique concept, where the apartments are not just residential, but partially commercial as well. Here, business never sleeps – so the revered design firm aimed to style it in a similar way, so that elements of work, comfort, and leisure, go hand in hand.
Designed by their team of professional interior designers, they first drafted a concept that retained aspects of luxury as well as minimalism for a futuristic and innovative vibe. Each palette, statement luminaire, and material are selected to develop the space’s ‘creator’s aesthetic.’
Implementing Sustainability in Bespoke Designs
As countries try to meet goals of reducing their carbon footprint, businesses and organizations are quick to follow. Consumers and homebuyers’ eco-consciousness is growing by the day as they learn about the negative impacts their choices can make on the environment.
As countries try to meet goals of reducing their carbon footprint, businesses and organizations are quick to follow. Consumers and homebuyers’ eco-consciousness is growing by the day as they learn about the negative impacts their choices can make on the environment.
To implement the concept of sustainability into their design philosophy, they selected a range of energy-efficient and environmentally responsible materials that, during the building’s lifespan, will have a lesser impact on the environment. By reducing the building’s overall carbon footprint, their design choices lead to healthier spaces for homeowners.
Designing the Interior and Details
The apartment has moderately high ceilings for optimal light distribution and proportionate dimensions that are conducive to all sorts of tasks and activities, whether you’re working, holding an informal meeting, enjoying some leisure time, or cooking a delicious meal. The interior is marked by sophistication and elegance so that homeowners can simply relax. But to add a commercial aspect, they crafted a distinct space, highlighted by an environment that’s productive to work. My Pick One developed it this way using ergonomic furniture, comfortable lighting, and minimal distractions. This is where homeowners can create a personalized workspace.

Nonetheless, this bookish, work-themed interior is hidden by an inviting façade that boasts all the warm comforts of home. This way, it should never look like you’re constantly at work. The apartment, with its range of amenities and carefully calculated interior design, is truly an embodiment of the phrase ‘something for everyone.’
