Shahriar, what brought you to Dubai?
I’ve been living in the city for about
14 years. My family moved here from
Australia about a year before that when
my father decided to set-up our business
(Al Aqili Furnishings). I actually came
over to Dubai to visit my mum, who I
missed, and my father then tricked me
into buying a car and then staying on and
running the business!
our interior furnishings business it also
really gave me the chance to do whatever
I wanted using my own resources. I
also loved JBR as an area; it gives you
a different feel to the rest of Dubai as it
makes you feel like you’re living in Spain
or the South of France. For that reason,
I chose a property with a Marina-facing
view, which means I get to soak up some
of the city’s lights from my window, too.
What made you decide to buy a
property in JBR?
I was always interested in lofts as I really
like that ‘loft living’ style; being in a
spacious, open environment. So, when
I heard about the lofts here I was very
keen to have one of my own. Because of
Do you see it as a good investment,
despite the fall in prices?
I bought this loft two or three years ago
and although I probably paid around
double the price, I do still see it as a good
investment. The area overall here is a
popular one, with great amenities so,
despite prices being lower than what they
were, in the long run it’s an asset. Right
now I’m not 100% whether to rent it out
or sell it because it was designed as a
bachelor pad and now I’m engaged I’m not
sure it’s the right style for married life!
How do you find the facilities at JBR?
They’re great; everything you need is
here. The variety of shops and restaurants
along The Walk is also amazing – you can
just step outside, and stroll along it, next
to the beach, and find exactly what you’re
after, and have a nice meal as well. We
often head to Scoozi on ground level and,
every now and then when I feel like being
unhealthy I’ll get a donar kebab from the
Fish and Chips shop on the corner!

‘The views here
make it the best
place I’ve ever
woken up in – I
think it’s the best
place to wake up
in the world’
What are the local residents like here?
I think there’s a real mix of demographics
living in JBR. We have fantastic
neighbours – those opposite are Indian
and Dutch, while on the other side the
couple are from Finland and have just had
a baby. There’s definitely a mix of couples,
individuals and families living here, too –
professionals and parents – it’s a good mix.
Do you feel that there’s anything
lacking at JBR?
The only area it falls short in is the
building maintenance; I think that needs
to improve. There are communal areas
which aren’t in the best shape and when
you have a premium apartment you
don’t want to see cracks in the walls, and
such like. The elevators could improve
aesthetically too and it would be great to
have windows that actually open in the
apartment. But, other than that I can’t
complain; it’s really nice.
Talk us through the apartment, how
did you take it from an empty shell to
what we see today?
When I first got it, I really wasn’t sure what
I wanted to do with it. The idea came at
January 2011
an interior awards dinner. I was sat with
an interior designer called Chris Barnes
from Broadway Interiors and I said to him,
‘I’ll give you my loft as an empty canvas
so you can come and do your work of art’.
My only stipulations were that it had to
be styled for an executive bachelor, and
reflect my lifestyle. Plus, when people
walk in I wanted them to say ‘wow’.
From there, Chris did the work and all
of the interiors you see are from my own
company, from furniture to lighting and
fabrics. We did bring in other partners
for certain elements, though, as we don’t
handle features like kitchens. For that we
brought in names like Porsche Design by
Poggenpohl, Subzero for the fridge and
Platinum Vision for the home automation.
Did you make any structural changes
to the loft?
Yes; it came with one floor, for the
bedroom and the master bathroom but
I wanted a gym and a study area too.
Although it’s big for a one bedroom
loft, we didn’t have enough space so we
applied for permission to put in a second
floor, on the opposite side and added
another 200 square feet. Normally a fit out
like this would only take two to three
months maximum, but awaiting approvals
and bringing designs in from overseas –
the Porsche Kitchen, for example, came
in from Germany and was the first to be
installed outside of the US and Europe –
meant that it all took around nine months
to complete.
Now that you and Nastaran have
moved in, where is your favourite place
to spend time?
If I throw a party or have people round we
all tend to gather in the kitchen, around
the bar, and have drinks and snacks
there. But, when I come home after work
the majority of my time is spent in the
bedroom! Everything in the apartment
is controlled by an iPod, so I can head up
there and watch movies or TV or relax on
the chaise longue, which moves up and
down. What I love most, though, is the
way the bed is positioned, diagonal to two
windows. When you press the ‘up’ button
and the blinds pull back, the sun comes
in from the Marina and it’s just amazing.
The views make it the best place I’ve ever
woken up in – I think it’s the best place to
wake up in the world.

Saturday - Thursday 10 am to 9 pm
If you dream of life by the beach, you’ll
be just a stone’s throw away from it in
one of Jumeirah Beach Residence’s 40
buildings, which tower over The Walk,
Dubai’s famous outdoor hub of shops,
hotels and restaurants. Known by locals
as ‘JBR’, the 6 billion dirham project was
completed in 2007 and now offers an
abundance of apartments, from studios
to penthouses. The development is made
up of six blocks – Murjan, Sadaf, Rimal,
Bahar, Shams and Amwaj – soaring,
sandy-coloured towers in an Arabicmeets-Mediterranean style. Within each
zone are landscaped greens and water
features as well as numerable residentonly swimming pools.
Shopping and a bite
JBR’s pedestrianised layout means daily
amenities are hugely accessible and each
block is home to a scattering of cafes
and shops at plaza level. Al Maya is the
prevalent supermarket here – find one in
Murjan, Sadaf and Bahar. Murjan’s plaza
gives way to a Caribou Coffee branch, an
independent coffee shop; Tiffany Royal
Café and Flavours (04 448 6454), which
offers a quick home delivery service.
For shopping, men can head to Savile
Row (www.savilerow.ae) for tailor-made
suits, while women can bag designer
bargains galore at Style Outlet. Stroll
to neighbouring Sadaf and you’ll find
a Costa Coffee by the newly opened
Dungeon Billiards (04 447 3856) –
where you can have a game of pool or surf
the net over drinks. Alternatively, grab an
epic burger at Fudruckers (04 437 0203).
A fabulous shop is nestled here for little
ones and party-planners too; Tickles &
Giggles (www.ticklesandgiggles.com).
Next along is Bahar, followed closely
by Rimal. The former is home to a large
Starbucks and a fab French-style café
that’s perfect for breakfast; Le Pain
The swimming pools and beach create
an outdoor lifestyle on your doorstep.
The Walk is also home to a number of
world-class hotels including Sofitel
Dubai Jumeirah Beach (www.sofitel.
com), the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah Resort
(www1.hilton.com), the Movenpick Hotel
Jumeirah Beach (www.moevenpickhotels.com) and Amwaj Rotana (www.
rotana.com). Each one opens its doors to
a plethora of restaurants, bars and spas.
If you’re feeling active, sign up to the Red
Dragon Gym (04 439 0327) or the new
fitness centre Studio Fitness (04 439
0403) at Murjan. For pampering, women
can head to Hair Works in Rimal for
your hair and beauty needs or N-bar
(04 437 0277) in Shams for manicures
and pedicures. Men, meanwhile, can try
specialist barbers, like Man Age Spa (04
435 5780) in Bahar.
Schooling
Marina Village Nursery (www.
jebelalinursery.com) in Bahar, is Jebel Ali
Nursery’s largest branch and comes with
a shaded outdoor area. A new addition
to Sadaf, meanwhile, is Fun and Play
Nursery (www.funandplay.ae), which
cares for newborns through to six-yearolds using a UK childcare system. Elder
kids can try Emirates International
School Meadows (www.eischools.ae/
meadows) a private school for infant and
primary students in the Meadows. Or, try
GEMS Wellington International School
(www.wellingtoninternationalschool.

secondary and sixth form education.

The Burj Khalifa enjoyed positive publicity in the last quarter of 2010 thanks
to visits from celebrities and royalty from across the world. The occupancy
in the building has doubled since Q3 2010 as tenants took advantage of the
lucrative rental rates on offer: studios started from AED 75,000 per annum;
one bedrooms from AED 110,000; two bedrooms from AED 170,000; and three bedrooms from
AED 280,000. Sale prices have also become more affordable. - the number of apartments sold
in December was higher than at any time in 2010 - and we predict a rosy outlook for 2011.

ASK THE AGENT
STEPHANIE PAASKE, RESIDENTIAL SALES AND LEASING CONSULTANT
Dubai Marina continues to be one of the most popular areas in Dubai in which
to rent and buy an apartment. Like other districts, property rates have dropped;
however, Dubai Marina in particular has seen prices stabilise, particularly for
the more popular developments located right on the water. Occupancy levels
for units with waterfront views are high and this popularity is expected to continue; Emaar’s two
bedroom waterfront apartments are currently leasing at AED 110,000 per annum, whereas one
street behind, the Marina Waterfront, you could easily find the same quality for AED 80,000.

Go This Shui
For the most harmonious of homes in 2011 traditional Feng Shui practitioner Vicky
Moane tells us how we can let positive energy roam free, room by room...
Feng Shui: In Brief
THE BEDROOM
Restful thinking The bedroom is a
place for rest; it should be a space of ‘yin’
as opposed to ‘yang’ – a space that is both
peaceful and restful. This will ensure
calm and induce sleep. To achieve it,
avoid televisions, mirrors and exercise
machines, as well as a work desk: all
of these are too ‘yang’ and represent
activity rather than rest.
Health matters Never position a bed
against a bathroom wall that contains
water pipes as these can unknowingly
cause sickness and Feng Shui is all about
achieving and maintaining optimum
health and well-being.
Round and round Avoid circular shapes
in the bedroom. Roundness represents
the element of metal and is considered
too yang – the opposite of what you are
trying to achieve.
Sleep away Try not to sleep underneath
a window, as when air comes through it
can cause disturbance to you. The cure
is to move your bed but, if this really
isn’t possible, be sure to hang some thick
curtains to resist incoming airwaves.
THE LIVING ROOM
Forward-facing Avoid sitting with your
back to the door and instead sit with
your back against a solid wall, facing the
door. This is called the ‘Honoured Guest
position’ and it allows you to see a person
enter the room. With your back against
it, you will be subconsciously aware that
anyone can enter the room without being
seen which can cause unrest.
Less is more It’s of key importance to
make way for a smooth path for the ‘qi’
(energy) to flow freely around the living
room. With this in mind, avoid having
too much furniture.
Open house Keep windows and doors
clear and unobstructed to allow the qi to
flow in to the house.
Desk job If you have a desk of any kind
in your living room, be sure to position
the chair against the wall so that you can
look into the room as you work and are not
facing the wall.
Feng Shui is an anicent Chinese
art and science that’s existed for
over 4,000 years and is used
to analyse the energy structure
belonging to every building.
THE KITCHEN
Complex formulas are used to
balance the energy (‘qi’) of a
building (for example, through
the positioning of furniture)
so that the qi can flow freely
and bring health, harmony and
wealth to its occupants.
Its name derives from the art’s
study of two elements – wind
(‘Feng’) and water (‘Shui’).
The right elements When designing
a kitchen try not to position the stove
opposite the sink. The two elements of
‘fire’ and ‘water’ do not mix well together.
If this has already been done, simply add a
green mat between them, which will act as
a ‘bridge’ of the element of wood.
In your sights When you are cooking
it is best to have the door in view. If this
isn’t possible in your home, add a mirror
‘The main benefit of Feng Shui is having a home
that’s healthy and happy, with everyone living in
relative harmony and with wealth and success’
or erect a line of stainless steel cooking
utensils which will allow you to see behind
you as you cook away happily.
Fire hazard Do not paint your kitchen
red as the room itself already contains a
lot of the ‘fire’ element and this will tip the
balance and feel overbearing.
Bright and bountiful According to Feng
Shui, filling your kitchen with fresh food
will give you emotional and nutritional
health. Simply put fresh fruits in a bowl on
the kitchen counter each week to gather
good energy.
THE BATHROOM
Prime position If you’re having a home
designed from scratch, ask a practitioner
to use a method known as ‘Flying Stars’
where they will assess where the ‘qi’ is not
good – and position your bathroom there
January 2011
to enhance a positive flow.
Closet case When designing the layout
of a house, the guest washroom should
not be facing the front door. Doing so
will cause a drain of energy. If your home
is already laid out in this way, close the
bathroom door to stop this occurring.
Washed out If you have any leaking taps
don’t ignore them, fix them right away.
Practically speaking it’s a waste of water
and from a Feng Shui perspective it’s
sending money down the drain.
Put a lid on it The question of whether to
have the lavatory lid up or down usually
has a simple answer but if your ‘wealth
area’ (where the energy flows at its best)
is found in the bathroom, always flush
the toilet with the lid down. When the
bathroom is not in use, leave the door ajar
so that the qi can flow through the house.
The purpose of Feng Shui is to
trap and pool beneficial qi and
deflect any negative qi from a
site, whether it’s applied to the
planning of an entire city or a
studio apartment.
In traditional Feng Shui, the
forms surrounding a building
are analysed to assess the
impact they will have on each
structure. Water near a home,
for example, can activate qi in
a beneficial way – great if your
Dubai home is by the sea. This
method uses yin and yang, the
five elements, dates of birth
of occupants, its internal and
external environment, the
age when the property was
constructed and its compass
bearing at the front to build a
Flying Star chart which then
analyses the health and wealth
of the people living there.

Better…Living Rooms
Whether you crave an über-cool space or ultra-cosy retreat, take tips
from these four looks and create a room you can’t wait to lounge in…
SILVER SERVICE
The first step to creating your
dream room is laying the
foundations by choosing one
base colour – in this case, light
grey – then building upon it
using key pieces of furniture in
a complementary finish – the
silver hues of these stainless steel
designs work perfectly. For the
final step, bring the room to life by
dressing it with accessories and
colour. If you’re tired of popular
beige and cream shades, grey
makes an oh-so-cool alternative,
giving you a whole new look for
the new year.

Home Décor stores throughout

Mix & Match: Give plain lounges a
playful edge with a colourful print
SLICK STORAGE
Want a living room low on clutter
and high on style? When it comes to
the matter of storage, there are some
seriously slick solutions on the market,
like this cabinet and contemporary-style
shelving by Zanette. Its clean lines and
no-fuss detail make them one for the
most modern or minimalist of homes.
Add them to the length of one wall and
you’ll not only leave the rest of the room
open for the rest of your furniture, but
make a real feature of your storage, too.
Align them precisely (seen here) if you
prefer a sense of symmetry, or place units
off sync for an offbeat edge.
Get the look: Buy ‘Casablanca’ by
Zanette at Western Furniture, Sheikh
Zayed Road. www.westernfurniture.ae
Top Tip: For a look that stands
the test of time, go for a neutral
colour scheme which will allow
you to mix furniture styles and
materials as trends change
Zanette
Lounge Around: Add a burst
of colour to more minimalist
rooms for a funky finish. We
just love this orange Fashion
sofa by Natuzzi.
DECADENCE IS
BLISS
COTTAGE CHIC
It’s easy to create the cosiest of living rooms through
the use of fabrics and texture. This traditional shapedsofa is made for classic comfort; while added extras
like knitted throws (just made for curling up beneath)
and cushions (use them to introduce a soft accent
hue) make it all the more inviting. Continue the feel
with accessories made from natural materials (note
the sturdy wooden mantlepiece and thick-woven
wicker), as well as colour. Neutral tones in stone, cream
and brown will evoke a soothing ambience – plump
for those in rich tones, like conker browns and the
creamiest of whites for a warmer feel.
Get the look: Buy the Ashbury Sofa (pictured) at
Freedom, Mirdif City Centre. www.freedom.com.au
Exhibitionists should throw caution to
the wind this year and dive headfirst
into a heady mix of colour. The aim
of this look is simple: to create your
very own lap of luxury. It’s a look that
evokes a regality reminiscent of a
more opulent era thanks to its use
of grandiose details and luxurious
textures (velvet is a must!) while its
playful use of colour (check out the
two-tone chair) brings it straight into
the 21st century. Achieve it by mixing
prints, tones and textures – just avoid
colour overload by sticking to three or
four tones and you’ll have a look that’s
less ‘mess’ and more ‘shabby chic.’
Light up: Add a touch of ‘Cottage
Chic’ to your lounge with this
woodland-inspired ‘Aspen’ lamp by
THE One.

Practical solutions for your
household dilemmas
How do I…
revamp my
old furniture?
Seven style updates
UNDER COVER Spruce up an armchair
or the cushions of your dining room
chairs by having them reupholstered in
a standout print, like decadent damask,
or a block colour. Interior designers and
upholsterers can do the job for you. Try
Arredo Casa Mia (04 347 7475).
FINE FINISHES Tired of those oldfashioned wooden drawers or chest? Paint
it with distressed or ‘antique’ finish paint;
a fabulous way to bring it back on trend.
Stick to off-white or cream for an ultra-chic
look or inject charm with a spring hue, like
duck-egg blue.
ALL IN HAND Revamp dressing tables
or drawers by removing plain handles and
replacing them with patterned door knobs,
or faux jewel versions. We love Zara
Home’s eclectic selection.
COLOUR INJECTION If you can’t bear
to look at old sofas, throws and cushions
are a quick-fix solution. Choose soft fabrics
and adaptable colours and, if you do bring
new furniture in later on, you can use
them elsewhere.
SHABBY CHIC Don’t scrap your old
furniture: the ‘shabby chic’ trend has
marked a return to vintage where ‘wear
and tear’ is a style statement all of its own.
Combine older items with new additions
for a quirky contrast.
BED HEAD Give your existing bed a
mini-makeover by adding a dramatic
headboard: find a wooden frame and use
moulding and gilt paint to give it a regal

finish. Dress the bed in velvet throws
and cushions while you’re at it and you’ll
achieve an all-out ‘boudoir’ look.
GO GLAM If you hate your plain dining
room chairs, don’t cancel that dinner
party; add a touch of glitz instead. Pin a
piece of satin ribbon on the top of each
one then add a vintage-style brooch at the
bottom to make it hang straight. Try high
street shops like Accessorize for brooches
with faux jewels.
Try your hand at reupholstering...
Not the creative type? You can be with our six simple steps to
reupholstering a dining chair cushion. (Practice on an ordinary
cushion first then plump for the real thing!)
Step 1: Unscrew the seat cushion
few inches of extra fabric on each side.
from the chair frame.
Step 5: Replace the stuffing with
Step 2: Take out any staples or tacks
in the fabric using a pair of pliers.
Step 3: Remove the fabric and (if
it’s worn-out) remove the old foam or
‘batting’ too.
Step 4: Most dining room chair
cushions are based on a single piece of
wood. Take this piece and lay it on top
of your new fabric. Next, cut around
the wood using scissors and leave a
new foam. Lay the seat board on top of
the foam and pull the sides tightly over
what will be the bottom of the seat.
Staple it down with a staple gun and
trim any excess pieces.
Step 6: Lay the piece of wood, foamside down, over your fabric. Pull the
sides of the fabric and stretch it over
what will be the bottom of the seat.
Staple the fabric down on all four sides,
being careful to keep the edges neat.

The design of the SieMatic SL testifies to uniquely consistent, objective elegance: clear surfaces and lines, devoid of
superficially decorative elements and other embellishments, even completely without handles and knobs. A style that has
its own way of presenting personality. Its transparent, reduced design opens up new potential for furnishing your home.
