4. CC House Residential Single Dwelling by Muhammed Naseem M

The CC House, designed by Muhammed Naseem M, is a residential single dwelling that harmoniously integrates with its lush, vegetated surroundings in Thamarassery, Wayanad, Kerala, India. Inspired by the site’s dense vegetation and the family’s agricultural heritage, the design prioritizes the conservation of existing trees and plants, many of which were cultivated by the owners themselves. The house features a minimalistic approach, with two mirrored C-shaped forms centered around a focal tree, creating a unique architectural signature. The dark, natural material palette complements the site’s ambiance, while the open courtyard and wide sit-outs surrounding the rooms ensure a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Transparency is maximized in semi-private areas, while bedrooms maintain moderate transparency for privacy. Constructed with curved RCC walls and a carefully chosen material palette, the house reflects the socio-cultural and climatic context of the region. Completed in 2022, the 270-square-meter residence exemplifies tropical modernism, blending functionality with a deep respect for nature and the client’s lifestyle, resulting in a home that feels authentically rooted in its environment.

5. Al Moosa Pediatric Clinics Interior Design by CALINE MORCOS INTERIORS

The Al Moosa Pediatric Clinics, designed by Caline Morcos Interiors, is a captivating interior design project inspired by the enchanting imagery of the desert, oasis, and the concept of mirages. The space is crafted to create a dream-like, ethereal environment that is both soothing and stimulating for children. Key design elements, such as an enchanted tree, mushroom-like pods, a peek-a-boo wall, and a marshmallow rainbow arch, are incorporated to spark curiosity and support cognitive development. The use of reflective ceilings and floating spheres blurs spatial boundaries, enhancing the magical atmosphere. Designed to be child-friendly rather than childish, the clinic features a calming and natural material palette with pops of vibrant colors inspired by desert landscapes. Dynamic lines in the flooring and ceiling add movement and distraction, creating a positive and comforting environment essential for children’s emotional well-being. The project, which began in December 2023 and was completed in February 2024, overcomes the challenges of healthcare design constraints, such as material restrictions and safety requirements, to deliver a poetic and innovative space that redefines pediatric interiors.
