Set among a landscape of mangroves and coastal waterways on Abu Dhabi’s Jubail Island, Alamira Noor Bani Hashim of ANBH Interiors (@anbh.interiors) has made room for the distinct personalities of a family of five: Khulood Hafez and Dr Mohammed Majed AlHattab, and their three adult children, Mohanad (@mohanadalhattab), Rama (@curatedbyramahattab) and Sara.
Completed in 2026 after approximately one year of work, the four-bedroom villa was newly built when the family acquired it. “The home was standard builder-grade and totally lacked personality,” Bani Hashim says. “We decided to fully gut everything and start over.” The #AD100 designer reconsidered the layout, extended the kitchen and formal living room, and designed almost every piece of furniture herself, having them all fabricated locally. “The family has a lot of personality, and they are quite bold in their aesthetic,” she says. “That became the starting point for me: how far could I push my own restrained boundaries without making the home feel too overwhelming?”

Inside Khulood Hafez and Dr Mohammed Majed AlHattab’s newly transformed home, one design decision remains contested: no, not the pizza oven, but the size of the kitchen table. “Every time my father sits down, he says, ‘It’s so big, I can’t reach you guys,’” their daughter Rama (@curatedbyramahattab) laughs. Her response is invariably the same: if it were any smaller, how would the whole family fit?
Set among the mangroves of Jubail Island, the home has been designed by #AD100 designer Alamira Noor Bani Hashim of ANBH Interiors (@anbh.interiors) to reflect the distinct personalities of the couple’s three adult children, Mohanad, Rama and Sara, while giving everyone a reason to keep coming back.

داخل منزل خلود حافظ والدكتور محمد ماجد الحطّاب، الذي خضع لتحوّل كامل، يبقى قرار تصميمي واحد موضع خلاف: لا، ليس فرن البيتزا، بل حجم طاولة المطبخ. تضحك ابنتهما راما قائلة: “كلما جلس أبي إليها، قال: إنها كبيرة جدًا، لا أستطيع الوصول إليكم”. أما ردّها فلا يتغيّر: لو كانت أصغر، فكيف ستتّسع للعائلة بأكملها؟
وسط غابات القرم في جزيرة الجبيل، صمّمت عالاميرا نور بني هاشم، مؤسسة ANBH Interiors والفائزة بجائزة #AD100، هذا المنزل ليعكس الشخصيات المتفرّدة لأبناء العائلة الثلاثة، مهند وراما وسارة، ويمنح الجميع سببًا للعودة إليه والاجتماع فيه من جديد.

“I feel really cocooned here. It’s my safe space,” says curator and stylist Rama AlHattab (@curatedbyramahattab).
As a fashion stylist and the family’s principal design liaison, Rama gravitated towards more expressive choices for her bedroom in the family’s Abu Dhabi home on Jubail Island. Wrapped across the walls and ceiling in deeply grained plywood, and offset by moiré silk curtains and a mustard-coloured headboard, the room was designed to evoke the feeling of being drenched in sunlight — and it certainly seems to have achieved it.

“أشعر هنا وكأن المكان يحيطني بدفئه ويمنحني الطمأنينة”، تقول القيّمة الفنية ومنسّقة الأزياء راما الحطّاب.
وبحكم عملها في تنسيق الأزياء ودورها في التنسيق التصميمي للمنزل العائلي في جزيرة الجبيل بأبوظبي، اختارت راما لغرفة نومها تفاصيل أكثر جرأة وتعبيرًا عن شخصيتها. تكسو ألواح الخشب الرقائقي ذات العروق البارزة الجدران والسقف، فيما تضفي الستائر الحريرية بنقوش المواريه ولوح رأس السرير بلونه الخردلي لمسات دافئة. وقد صُمّمت الغرفة لتستحضر إحساسًا بالانغمار في ضوء الشمس، ويبدو أنها نجحت في ذلك تمامًا.

#HotelsByDesign: Following an 18-month restoration and with a renewed, romantic Renaissance allure, Villa San Michele (@villasanmichele) offers a fresh reason to head into the hills.
With Florentine architect Luigi Fragola (@luigi_fragola_architect) responsible for its new interiors, his approach was to preserve the building’s irregularities rather than correct them. “There is always a temptation in restoration projects to make everything perfect,” he says. “But perfection can erase memory.” Across the 39 rooms and suites, patinated stone and uneven walls have been retained, with new interiors built around them. A botanical thread runs throughout, expressed in chalky greens, deep yellows and rusts, alongside striped and floral upholstery, velvet, silk and local terracotta from Impruneta. “The building itself gave us the palette,” Fragola says.

بعد 18 شهرًا من الترميم، وبحلّة متجددة تستحضر سحر عصر النهضة ورومانسيته، تعود Villa San Michele لتقدّم سببًا جديدًا للصعود إلى التلال.
تولّى المعماري الفلورنسي لويجي فراغولا تصميم الديكورات الداخلية الجديدة، واختار الحفاظ على عيوب المبنى وتعرّجاته بدلًا من محوها. يقول: "غالبًا ما يغري الترميم بجعل كل شيء مثاليًا، لكن الكمال قد يمحو الذاكرة". وهكذا، احتفظت الغرف والأجنحة الـ39 بالحجر المعتّق والجدران غير المستوية، لتنسج حولها تفاصيل داخلية جديدة. وتتجلّى الطبيعة في لوحة ألوان نباتية من الأخضر الهادئ والأصفر العميق والدرجات الصدئة، تتكامل مع أقمشة مخططة وزهرية، والمخمل والحرير، وفخّار إمبرونيتا المحلي. ويضيف فراغولا: "المبنى نفسه هو من أوحى لنا بلوحة الألوان".

#HotelsByDesign: Around two hours southwest of Cairo lies Tunis Village, long celebrated for its pottery studios and craft traditions, and now home to Villa Fayoum, a 12-room private villa that’s the newest addition to The Moudira Collection (@egypt_beyond), a growing portfolio of distinctive stays across Egypt.
Inside, Zeina Aboukheir’s interiors build on architect Dina Abou Alia’s restoration, which uses local stone, earth and brick while preserving many of the house’s original details, including mashrabiya screens and antique handrails. Outside, the 6,000-square-metre garden is almost as seductive as the interiors. Mature palms shade a 16-metre pool lined in golden granite and Sinai marble, with red-and-white-striped loungers and a timber pavilion at one end, and views stretching towards Lake Qarun.

على بُعد نحو ساعتين جنوب غرب القاهرة، تقع قرية تونس، المعروفة منذ زمن بمراسم الفخار وتقاليدها الحرفية العريقة. وهنا، تنضم Villa Fayoum إلى مجموعة The Moudira Collection، لتكون أحدث إضافاتها؛ فيلا خاصة تضم 12 غرفة، ضمن مجموعة متنامية من أماكن الإقامة الاستثنائية في أنحاء مصر.
في الداخل، تستكمل تصميمات زينة أبو خير عملية الترميم التي وضعتها المعمارية دينا أبو العلا، مستخدمةً الحجر والطين والطوب المحلي، مع الحفاظ على تفاصيل المنزل الأصلية، من مشربياته إلى درابزينه العتيق المصنوع يدويًا. أما الحديقة الممتدة على مساحة 6,000 متر مربع، فلا تقل سحرًا عن الداخل؛ إذ تظلّل أشجار النخيل الوارفة مسبحًا بطول 16 مترًا، تحيط به أرضيات من الغرانيت الذهبي ورخام سيناء، وكراسٍ للاستلقاء مخططة بالأحمر والأبيض، وجناح خشبي في أحد أطرافه، فيما تمتد الأنظار نحو بحيرة قارون.

More often than not, a neat office corner at home nowadays ends up claiming a corner of the bedroom, the living room or the landing, and as these spaces were never intended for work, they need to earn their keep to be worth the space. It also often means asking a simple question: where do you put a desk when there isn't an entire room to spare? At the link in bio, Interior designers and architects share the smartest ways to turn an overlooked corner into a comfortable home office.

غالبًا ما يجد المكتب المنزلي الصغير مكانه اليوم في زاوية من غرفة النوم أو المعيشة، أو حتى في مساحة العبور بين الغرف. ولأن هذه المساحات لم تُصمّم أساسًا للعمل، فلا بدّ أن تستحق المساحة التي تشغلها. وهنا يبرز السؤال: أين نضع المكتب حين لا تتوفر غرفة كاملة للعمل؟
عبر الرابط في البايو، يشاركنا مصممو الديكور والمعماريون أذكى الأفكار لتحويل الزوايا المنسيّة إلى مكاتب منزلية مريحة وعملية.
