Gaby Hakim Design Studio has been awarded Best Luxury Architect Visualization & Design for Mayal in Saudi Arabia for 2025 by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. This recognition honors the studio’s visionary concept for Mayal, a project distinguished by its immersive design inspired by the elemental forces of water and stone that shape the ancient Ashar Valley landscape.

“This award highlights our commitment to harmonizing architecture with the natural world. Mayal is a reflection of the delicate interplay between water, stone, and land, captured through advanced design and visualization technologies. We are thrilled to have our vision recognized for its respect toward the environment and its forward-thinking approach to luxury architecture.” Says Gaby Hakim, Founder & CEO.

Based in Beirut, Gaby Hakim Design Studio is renowned for modeling dynamic structures and refined interiors through a multidisciplinary approach that includes architecture, interior design, 3D visualization, and project management. In Mayal, the studio explored organic forms that engage directly with the surrounding topography, using advanced parametric design and rendering technologies to mould a futuristic vision that remains grounded in nature’s influence.

Every curve in the Mayal project reflects an in-depth study of erosion, movement, and geological rhythm. Rather than altering the landscape, the design honors it, elevating architectural expression through respectful spatial interaction. The result is a fluid, conceptually rich design that resonates with the spirit of Ashar Valley.

Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, commented: “Mayal is a standout example of architectural innovation rooted in natural context. Gaby Hakim Design Studio shows how modern design can be both forward-thinking and responsive to place.”
