AlMalqa Project by Bothina Design

Bothina Design, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has emerged as one of the country’s most distinctive interior and architectural studios, renowned for crafting luxurious residential spaces that merge cultural heritage with contemporary sophistication. Founded in 2010 by Bothina Suliman, the boutique studio operates from its headquarters on Anas ibn Malik Road and has built an impressive reputation across the Gulf and internationally for interiors that tell a story and evoke emotional resonance.

Specializing in bespoke interior architecture, full residential fit-outs, custom furnishings, 3D visualization, and on-site consultancy, Bothina Design focuses on creating spaces that reflect a philosophy of understated luxury. Each project is approached as a narrative journey, where design elements, from materials to spatial flow, are thoughtfully created to transform high-end villas and private homes into immersive, personalized environments.

The studio’s acclaimed AlMalqa Private Villa in Riyadh exemplifies this approach. Covering roughly 1,300 sqm on a 900 sqm plot, the residence is composed of a series of interconnected pavilions that morph indoor and outdoor living. Its signature features include a sculptural master suite, a refined Majlis, versatile family zones, and an entertainment wing, all complemented by concealed mechanical systems that maintain spatial purity. The design combines warm walnut veneers, polished terrazzo, statuary marble, and brushed brass, while a modern reinterpretation of the traditional mashrabiya filters light and ensures privacy. Minimalist desert-inspired geometries and layered lighting enhance the sense of serenity, reflecting Bothina Design’s commitment to harmonizing regional influence with contemporary elegance.

Bothina Design has earned recognition from prestigious platforms such as Luxury Lifestyle Awards, which named it Best Luxury Residential Interior Design in Saudi Arabia in 2025, and the International Property Awards, which honored the studio for Best Custom Residential Execution in the Middle East in 2023. These accolades celebrate the firm’s attention to detail, coherent spatial storytelling, and thoughtful integration of smart technologies with locally sourced materials.

Through each project, Bothina Design continues to reconceive the possibilities of luxury living, manifesting residences that are not just homes but living works of art, where every element contributes to a rich, meaningful experience.
