Andalusian Roof Arabic Majles

Andalusian Roof Arabic Majles is an award-winning interior design project that masterfully blends traditional Andalusian architectural elements with contemporary Arabic aesthetics, creating a sophisticated gathering space that pays homage to both Roman and Arab cultural heritage. The design, conceived by Egyptian designer Engy ElGohary, encompasses an expansive area of 8000mm by 16000mm with a commanding height of 3700mm, featuring distinctive elements such as decorative gypsum arches adorned with intricate Andalusian motifs, traditional stucco walls, and high-quality Moroccan ceramic tile flooring. The space is characterized by its open, high ceiling with exposed natural wood beams, strategically designed to capture and distribute Arabian sunlight, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The interior seamlessly integrates vintage elements with modern furniture, employing a thoughtfully curated palette of bright colors and neutral finishes that respect the historical context while meeting contemporary functional requirements. A central fountain serves as both a focal point and a source of ambient relaxation through its gentle water sounds, while botanical elements add natural dimension without overwhelming the carefully balanced design scheme. This innovative interpretation of Spanish-Mediterranean design principles, recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, demonstrates exceptional spatial organization, incorporating elements such as decorative tiles, patterned surfaces, and carefully selected materials that appear to possess historical character, all while maintaining perfect functionality for modern usage.
