Good to know

Designed and executed by one team

Classical interiors fail when the design and the ornament are handled by different people. Panels drift off centre, cornices collide with ceilings, arches miss the chandelier line. We draw the room and carry out the decorative gypsum works ourselves.

Questions

Common questions about classical & Maghrebi interiors.

Can't find what you need? Our team answers on WhatsApp, usually the same day.

What is Maghrebi gypsum work?

Maghrebi gypsum, also known as Moroccan gypsum (جبس مغربي), is carved or cast gypsum decoration in geometric and floral patterns from the Maghrebi tradition, used on ceilings, arches, walls and niches.

Can a classical interior work in a modern villa?

Yes. Many villas use a classical majlis or reception hall alongside contemporary living spaces. We design the transition between them.

Do you supply furniture and chandeliers?

Our scope covers the interior design and building works. Furniture and lighting selections can be included in the design for you to procure.
