Soul Notes

The maiden/ virgin archetype appears in popular culture in movies, animation and art. Here you can see see her embodied in (clockwise) Venus in the painting ‘The Birth of Venus’ by Sandro Botticelli, ‘Wonder Woman’ player by Gal Gadot, Mia Wallace played by Uma Thurman in ‘Pulp Fiction’, the Virgin Mary by Giovani Ambrogio Bevilacqua and finally Kiki in ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’.

يظهر نموذج العذراء في الثقافة الشعبية في الأفلام والرسوم المتحركة والفن. هنا يمكنك رؤيتها مجسدة في فينوس في لوحة "ولادة فينوس" لساندرو بوتيتشيلي و "المرأة المعجزة" لغال غادرت وميا والاس التي لعبت دورها أوما ثورمان في "الخيال الرخيص" و العذراء مريم لجيوفاني أمبروجيو بيفيلاكوا وأخيراً كيكي في "خدمة كيكي للتوصيل".

Interior design for a residential renovation and extension project in Seeb. We hope you like it.

We pride ourselves on not committing to a set style and enjoy working with our clients to realise their dreams and honour their own tastes. This villa is cleverly organised to maximise the site potential and has a classical decoration. Soon to be constructed in Muscat.

Residential villa interior renders part 1

Neo-classic Majlis with a neutral, organic-warmth colour palette. We hope you like it.

The residential villa at Muscat aims, in short, to establish a new relationship between the landscape and the city; a place of return to a time where buildings were homely, haptic and locked into the landscape. A building that creates a refuge to balance the hyper-connected technological activity of the 21st century.

The floor of the building unfolds two hugs for those who visit and those who live, creating a building articulated around two meaningful landscaped courtyards. These volumes alternate interior spaces of two types: those that are crossed by the landscape and those that are sheltered inside the haptic stone volumes, framing visual fragments of the outside. The entire construction is a humbling return to the essential. The volumes are low and the finishes are raw: the timber beam ceilings, the rustic plastering of the interior walls and the polished concrete floors connecting with the logic of the landscape and memory of the traditional.
