Doha Family Majlis
The interior of a reception majlis in Doha, linking Gulf traditions of hospitality with the finesse of Persian stucco.
In Gulf culture the majlis is the principal room for receiving guests. The client wanted a space that felt both formal and calm.
Filtered light
Windows are screened with geometric girih timber lattices that turn harsh desert light into delicate patterns on the floor. The ceiling, a simplified plaster muqarnas, was executed with Isfahani stucco craftsmen. Low seating around the perimeter is upholstered in hand-woven wool.
Cooling is delivered through grilles hidden in the skirting, keeping all mechanical elements out of sight.
