EXECUTIVE OFFICE
INVOKING THE FEELING OF WALKING INTO AN EGYPTIAN THRONE ROOM, THE MULTILEVEL CEILING AND COLUMNS MAKE THE ROOM FEEL MAJESTIC. USING LIMESTONE TILES ON THE FLOOR, A NATIVE AND IMPORTANT MATERIAL TO THE REGION, GIVES ELEGANCE AND FORMALITY TO THE OFFICE. EGYPTIANS HAVE A WAY OF FUSING THE BEAUTIFUL WITH THE PRACTICAL. COMBINING THE EGYPTIAN LOVE OF ORNAMENTATION, MODERN FURNITURE, AND WORN CLAY TEXTURE ON THE WALLS HELP THE ROOM TRAVERSE THROUGH THE ERAS. DARK WOODS AND BLUES ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH TOUCHES OF BRONZE METALS AND GOLD TO EXCITE THE FEELINGS OF ANCIENT TREASURES.
