KING’S MANSION

MUSEUM OF ABYSS

A 2 Story Mansion in King Mariout which is owned by a very respected family working in pharmatics. House was built in the early 2000s using Islamic vaults, arches and colours. The owner’s goal was to renovate the house while keeping its vintage look and feel with a contemporary touch

The house will accommodate 4 families mainly for occasions and gatherings such as weddings and vacations. A cozy memorable feel needed to reach the families as they used to live in it as children. Hence maintaining all heritage details, vaults and even cornices was my goal to help them relive their lovely childhood

Furniture Layout 1:100

Existing Build

The Layout was designed to accommodate 4 families and a maid room. At this stage of creating the portfolio, the highlighted areas area the space where the design is complete.

South facing bedroom and living room overlooking the back yard where there is not lots of activity. While the Master Living and kitchenette were facing the front yard and entrance.

Design Guide

Using a colour palette where wood and warm tones are the main focal point of the design. Tints of green added to integrate the Islamic palette used before in the house which is obvious on the tinted glass and coloured cornices.

Domes

Domes suffered some weathering as the mansion was left long periods without maintenance. Restoring them using paint and plaster was the obvious solution as they weren’t severely damaged.

Some domes had green or red paint on them from the old colour, So the decision of having them all painted white to keep their presence and implement these colours in the spaces themselves to still maintain the same old vibe the spaces had before.
