In 2024, By Design House earned global recognition by winning a coveted Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Office Design & Build for their transformative renovation of the Zahra Law Firm Office in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Under the leadership of lead interior designer Dalia Najim, the project aimed to reflect a contemporary yet understated aesthetic, enhancing productivity while remaining true to the firm’s core values.

A Look into Zahra Law Firm Office Project

The Zahra Law Firm Office project, which commenced in February 2023 and concluded in April 2023, initially posed unique challenges. The original space housed the principal lawyer’s office, a small storage area, and an entrance that lacked both character and cohesion. The brief was to create an environment that enhanced productivity, offered a welcoming atmosphere, and reflected the client’s personality and work culture—without being overly ostentatious. The inspiration for the renovation was grounded in contemporary design principles, emphasizing a calming aesthetic and using natural materials to evoke a sense of professionalism and warmth.

Key Design Goals and Inspirations

From the outset, By Design House aimed to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. The central goal was to transform the office into a workspace that fosters productivity while reflecting the law firm’s sophisticated yet approachable nature. Drawing inspiration from the use of wooden materials in warm tones, the design team sought to ground the space while simultaneously injecting it with modernity. The result was the perfect morphing of natural elements and clean lines that create an atmosphere of calm, concentration, and professionalism.

The renovation scope covered several crucial areas within the office, including the entrance and waiting area, the principal lawyer’s office with an integrated small meeting space, and the employees’ working area. Each of these spaces was thoughtfully designed to create a fluid connection between them, giving a sense of openness and collaboration while maintaining clear functional zones.

Key Features and Enhancements

One of the most significant alterations made during the renovation was the installation of a sleek glass door with fixed window panels. This simple yet transformative feature served multiple purposes. Not only did it create a visual connection between the various office spaces, but it also amplified the feeling of space, making the office appear larger and more open. This sense of connection and enlargement is a hallmark of By Design House’s approach, ensuring that every design element serves a functional purpose while enhancing the overall experience.

In addition to improving the office’s layout and flow, By Design House placed a strong emphasis on sustainability. The firm carefully selected environmentally friendly materials, ensuring that the office renovation aligned with eco-conscious practices. To complement the sustainable materials, energy-efficient LED lighting was installed throughout the office. Natural light was also maximized, with large windows allowing for plenty of daylight, further reducing the need for artificial lighting. This sustainable approach not only benefits the environment but also creates a more pleasant, healthy workspace for the law firm’s employees.

Uniqueness Through Innovation and Attention to Detail

By Design House stands out in the world of interior design and architecture because of their ability to incorporate innovative design elements that are as practical as they are aesthetically pleasing. The Zahra Law Firm Office renovation is a prime example of this innovation in action. By prioritizing the use of sustainable materials and incorporating energy-saving technology, By Design House elevated the office’s commercial appeal while adhering to the firm’s values of creativity and compassion.

The incorporation of glass throughout the office also lends a chic, contemporary feel to the space, without sacrificing privacy or functionality. Another standout feature of this project is its approachability. While the design of Zahra Law Firm Office is undoubtedly sophisticated, it was executed in a way that is both cost-effective and accessible, demonstrating that luxury design doesn’t always come with an extravagant price tag. By Design House’s ability to deliver affordable luxury has made them a sought-after firm across Saudi Arabia and the GCC region.
