“Guests often describe the first salon as having a homelike feel,” says Ahmad. “We wanted to carry that through while creating a space that would also support more complex services. The aim was to design a place that feels personal and welcoming, while being fully functional for both guests and staff.”

The lookout cabin is perched on the eastern sea cliffs of Lunawuni (Bruny Island, Tasmania)—an island, off an island, off an island. Framed by dense bushland to the south and the vast Tasman Sea to the east, the cabin is immersed in raw landscape, designed to offer privacy, connection, and expansive views.

The idea for the interior was born during the designer’s very first visit to the residential complex where the house is located. Inspired by the clean, modern architecture and the surprisingly calm atmosphere — like a small oasis among the concrete jungle of the city — she envisioned an interior that would naturally extend that feeling indoors.

Tucked into the dense urban fabric of Koregaon in Satara, the H-House is a 2850 sq.ft. residence crafted on a constrained 33’ x 78’ site. The linear proportions of the site drove the architectural response, culminating in a plan organized around three longitudinal lines that run parallel across the site.

This 80m² apartment in the new "Sobytie" residential complex is more than just a home—it’s a reflection of its owner: a 24-year-old woman who adores pastel tones and delicate details. The challenge was complex: to blend classical aesthetics with the lightness of minimalism, transforming the space into a "jewelry box."
