The International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers annually recognises the remarkable power of Design as a vehicle for human betterment and productive improvement, this year honouring World Interiors Day on the 29^th May, with various initiatives celebrated during the month of May. 

This year’s theme of ‘Design as a Global Conversation’ has provided an appropriate platform within this unusual pandemic year for discovering the varied circumstances and experiences we have all been facing, as well as opens discussion on the impact spaces have on our behaviours and societies. 

We asked a few of the Compass Team to share their inspiration pieces:

Deema Alhoumodi, Graduate Project Manager at our Riyadh office shares that she was inspired to study Interior Design during a trip on the Disney Cruise Line in her youth, where she shares: ‘’each tiny design detail greatly contributed to the immersive passenger experience, creating a unique escapism atmosphere whilst balancing luxury and adaptability for a vast international following.  To successfully achieve these goals, the designer would have had to truly identify with the guests’ mindsets and transform wishes into dreams and dreams into reality’’. 

Khalil Ayyoub, Senior Project Manager at our Dubai office has been greatly influenced during his secondment role at the Dubai Expo 2020, where he has been stationed for the past two years, overseeing a range of project deliveries.  Khalil shared he has ‘’marvelled at the Al Wasl Dome  – designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture – as an architectural icon, which begets a greater appreciation and wonder at just what the design and construction industry can do.  The Al Wasl Dome is a genius piece if architecture which will host a variety of encounters in which the international public will be able to fully immerse themselves in.’’

There are really no limits creativity!  With brilliance to be found in so many places, which interior designs or architectural splendors make you tick?
