On our holiday in Sri Lanka, we stayed for three days in the city of Colombo.  We went to this park near a University were local artists sell their paintings on the street. We bought one and had it removed from the frame, rolled & placed on a tube container and took it back to Dubai.  Because of this we had to fix up one area of the living room to put up the painting. We bought this white modern - rustic  console from  Marina Exotic Home Interiors . Placed the  Krishna sculpture (also from Sri Lanka) on top of the console with the antique head of a Chinese man that Chief bought from Singapore.  Of course our photos on one side :) Marina showcases a few nice modern furniture pieces. It's one place we go to as designers to look for unique things. Branches of the shop can be found at Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Mirdif City Center, etc. Pay them a visit one of these days :) CIAO! -CARMI

Here's my website list of inspirations for Modern & Contemporary Architecture: 1.  ArchDaily           Archdaily is more like "THE" website for us architects. It features works of designers from today as well as the old, articles about architecture whether old or new, they also feature architects, news on architecture and design technologies and a whole lot more. They cater to Arc...

A Colleague of mine asked me to design a home that he wants to build for his family in the Philippines.. It's quite small but he gave me the details that he wants for this new home..This will be built in Iloilo City, Philippines Here's the Facade... They have a budget for the house that's why we didn't elaborate too much and made it simple but nice. I also made a proposed interior for the kitchen of this home. Will post other works soon! Please feel free to make some comments. Thanks for viewing!
