Mc Queen Abayas (retail design)

This was actually the first shop i designed, the concept was to design a modern sleek shop inspired by the logo. i really enjoyed designing this shop, my plan was to give it this round shape, which gives it that modern look i was going for. I added a great feature behind the desk, where you have a cutout shape that mimics the logo with dimmed lighting beneath it, which gives the shop the wow factor. i met all the clients need by adding a storage room and a fitting room. 

Later in the process i added a small section for (devous collection) i designed something relevant yet different, to give it the look that it belongs but at the same time its a private section.

Creativo Gifts (retail design)

I was hired to design the second branch of Creativo Gifts, the initial plan was to design a 28sqm shop, but later in the process the owner decided to extend and take over the shop next door. As for the design, the main idea was to have wall hanging painted frames, which i continued using. for the new plan, i've added a back wall the has two semi rooms behind it (an office and space for a refrigerator). 

The colors that i used is inspired by the logo, its very funky and fresh:) I have custom designed the reception desk as well as the sitting area to match the space, I bought an Ikea coffee table and turned into a funky piece by painting it torques. As for the chair, i chose Louis chairs so it can give a mix of a vintage and modern look, which goes well with the classic frames. It was very challenging to find the right colors for the upholstery of the chairs, so what i did was that i chose three different material colors and had them stitch them together, so it looks as one piece and used it for the chair! The shop looks Vibrant and fresh!

Grafika boutique- elegant and chic!

Grafika has reopened in a new place with a new image. For this project I have decided to go a little green by reusing most of the items Grafika had in it's previous shop, it was exciting and challenging! Before starting any project I always start with an inspiration, either a picture, a logo or even a furniture piece. And for the new grafika, my inspiration piece was a vintage French round settee:) and from there I have designed a custom made round settee as a modern interpretation of the original one. With that piece I was inspired to choose a very calm and classy color pallet and add wall moldings to the space to give it a cozy French boutique look!

McQueen Abayas booth design (The bride show exhibition)

I have designed a booth for McQueen Abaya shop, which turned out amazing!,, I was going for soft and elegant which I achieved successfully. I've done the whole thing from A to Z, and custom made some furniture pieces that I'm very proud of :) the design consist of a sitting area, a changing room and a stand to display the Abayas :)

My Thesis

My Thesis topic is "Shaping Islamic design into the modern century within a hotel". I have worked on it for a whole year. My first year in Grad school was studio classes and my second year I focused on just research and design for my thesis. The idea is to reshape Islamic design and modernize it to fit our modern time. 

 I redesigned an existing hotel in Dubai, and applied my modern Islamic design ideas into the Lobby, Lounge, a standard room, and a suite. Other than just designing and space planning, I have custom designed some chairs and rugs to suit the rooms. I have added most of the renderings and room floor plans.
