VÄI Luxury — Architecture and Interiors, Riyadh
Warm, quiet, exactly made.
Scroll
Tradition
Warmth is a discipline, not a mood
Our work is warm, contemporary and quiet. Walnut and travertine, plaster and bronze, light kept low and concealed. The restraint is the point: with a short palette and honest joints, proportion is what you notice.
The studio works from Riyadh across Saudi Arabia. Architecture, interiors, documentation and procurement sit under the same roof, which is why a detail drawn in the second month is the detail installed in the twentieth.

Materials
A short palette, used well
Six materials carry most of our work. Restricting the palette is what lets proportion be read.
Philosophy
Philosophy
Detail is not decoration. It is the argument a room makes for being lived in.
We take a small number of commissions each year. Clients deal with the people who drew the building, and the studio attends site until the last room is signed off.
