INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO of Samah Kilani Samahalkiani92@gmail.com +962 799114261 Jordanian, 4/July/1992
Those who have the passion and the observation towards what they do, These projects were not designed to astonish or impress. Rather, they propose a thought; of amplifying the details and applying the characteristics of the space.

CUT THROUGH STONE‌ MENA Carbon offices design was inspired by Carbon’s mining concept, and the cut through stone, leaving an intersection between two elements of different origins dependent on each other.
From zoning to design elements, just like earths forming, everything is in the state of relaying or being controlled by something or someone else.
That moment when you capture the essence of the space, is the moment of which you'll be able to take your vision right to the end. For I imagine‌ the space determents how you would want to live your life.

THE INDUSTRY OF WHATS FRESH Bless Burgers and Fries design was mainly based on the identification and the recognition of two moving living forms; the industrial path that is mainstream and has conquered todays world, and what is living and fresh.
As soon as those two intersect, the restaurant dining hall forms, separating the industry form what's healthy and fresh, combining a clean environment with fresh raw materials; being kind to costumers as well as nature.
All you have to do is to listen to what the space is saying … you can’t change what that space wants to be, the stories it wants to tell… its history and future.

A BRANCH IS WHAT WE ARE‌ Our bodies are the branches of life continuing to thrive and raise its potentials and stakes, never stop growing up, always aiming high. With the support of Lab Zone Laboratories and clinics People get their immediate medical care in an inspiring environment that helps boost-up the body, urging it to thinking upwards, allowing it to reach its full power.
A soft pastel color scheme flows through the space providing relaxation and a calm atmosphere, while borrowing the green elements of nature, assuring visitors of health and body importance.
Suddenly . . . I realized that I somehow had a different and a deeper understanding about the same problems!!! It's not about just putting things in a room. It's much deeper and broader. It's about self-discovery.

ITS MORE THAN JUST A HOME ! Al Rawashdeh Residence is a project that contemplates nature’s beauty and clarity aspects in a modern contemporary way, reflecting the coziness and warmth
that fill the wild, while abstracting clear pure lines of it’s trees, giving their home the meaning and uniqueness it was meant to have.
“The exterior cannot do without the interior since it is from this, as from life, that it derives much of its inspiration and character…” Stephen Gardiner
The continuous movement that shows in the design, gives the house a dynamic feel all through the year. We allowed each room and function to represent its character and nature; with the material variation and fabric layering we were able to show cozy and warm atmosphere in the private areas in comparison with more fancy design of guest and host rooms.
You can find the strange in the familiar..... As long as you're welling to look beyond what is already been brought to light that you can see what’s below the surface, hiding in the shadows, and recognize that there can be more there, than meets the eye!!!!!

CLEANSING EACH CELL‌ Mall Pharmacy- Abdali Mall Branch speaks the language of bodies, the foreign tongue of cells, and literate the journey of healing and body
cleansing as a portrait of color enlightening your body and cells into relief.
A gradient celled ceiling represents the process of healing and getting cured as journeying to the way out of the pharmacy.
The distance between now and the past, the already existing traditional classical designs and the future, generates a spiritual space for us to reflect something M e a n i n g f u l......

DETAILING THE DETAILS “Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future..� -Robert L. Peters Designing Muhammed Al Khalid mansion required the classical details and aesthetics; as per keeping in touch with their lifestyle and traditions, which brought an opportunity to continue telling a story where we bring the content into focus. Detailing the details, giving all the little pieces a geometric attentive care, borrowing the glamour of the classical elements, for a never aging design.
“I see artists bored by light-without-heat, irked at gigantic galleries' pushing out art-as-product, leaving behind the over determined for the undetermined, guided by interior voices and bringing us out of a long tunnel to new blueness… “ Jerry Saltz
“Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light…” Dylan Thomas
