Timber, gypsum and the staircase

The finishes use timber, gypsum and textiles: sculptural gypsum “stalactites”, curved timber structures and fabrics with traditional ornament. The columns follow the carved wooden columns of Uzbek architecture. The focal point of the interior is a staircase with fluid lines and integrated lighting.
