The Designer

About Mahdi

Where nursing taught me to listen, and London taught me to be bold.

I grew up in Syria surrounded by pattern, colour, and texture. The hand-painted tiles, carved stone, and latticed screens casting geometric light across the floor. I didn’t know it was design; it was simply home. This same appreciation deepened watching my mother, an exceptionally talented tailor. Her masterful work with textiles and fabrics filled our home with creativity, inspiring my passion for luxury interiors and exquisite design taste.

When I moved to London, everything changed. Not just the geography, but me. For the first time, I could be fully myself. Coming out wasn’t just about who I loved; it was about finally trusting my own eye, my own taste, my own instincts.

Luxury, to us, is not excess.
It is depth. It is proportion. It is permanence.

Arches are not trends. Stone is not surface. Light is not incidental. Every element carries intention. We design houses that endure.
