Airstream creates interiors for Qatar bank

Appointed in the summer following a concept presentation, consultancy design director Michelle Le Masurier says Airstream was asked to consider the high-end context and location of the development and design a space which would be ‘luxurious and push boundaries’.

Using the 6m-high ceilings, a free-standing mezzanine island will be introduced comprising interconnected angular forms.

A conference room is ‘cantilevered’ over the reception desk says Le Masurier, who says the other mezzanine areas comprise a first-floor VIP lounge and offices, supported by a sculptural feature staircase.

Bronze finishing, marble flooring and timber have been used throughout the space. Wall panelling will be introduced and a veneered textured effect applied to columns. Chain-mail screens are to be hung and etched glass designs introduced.
