Toufoula is a Lebanese non-governmental organization which was founded in 2006 by a group of concerned volunteers sharing the same goal: drawing a smile on the faces of young children suffering from cancer and blood diseases.

The Dream Rooms Project aims at making the children's stay at the hospital as pleasant as possible, and changing their perspective of hospitals. The rooms are painted with happy and lively colors and are equipped with toys, sources of entertainment and communication opportunities. The purpose is to spread a cozy and warm atmosphere similar to home, where the children can dream instead of worry. Because distraction is the best therapy and stress reliever, this is a space for children to live their fantasies and dream of a better tomorrow.

This historic location, site of a royal palace and for centuries attracting travellers in search of cures at the hot springs, is being upgraded to include several 4 star hotels, a 5 star hotel, a mosque, a promenade, new public baths, international quality spas and souks, refurbished to appeal to an anticipated influx of health tourists. The massive project, which comprises interior design, architecture and urban planning, is based on the site’s total integration into its environment. Green features and contextual design elements should help ensure it continues to be a unique experience.

The design of restaurant Burj Al Hamam's new home at the Pearl-Qatar oozes the elegance and luxury of its location. On the glamorous Riviera-style man-made island in Qatar. Galal Mahmoud of GM Architects has created an interior décor with an atmosphere that is both classic and contemporary. The brand new space is grand, having the look and feel of an old building that has been renovated with some of its original features kept intact, but of course this cannot be the case.

Inspired by traditional tenth century Beirut palaces, the interior has a muted color palette raging from dusty pink to light gray, producing a sense of opulence and luxury. Imposing spherical columns coated in glistering gold and impressive chandeliers decorate the restaurant's capacious dining area, with large waterfront location. Built originally in a two storey space, the upper floor was removed to gain dramatic height and filled with six glass chandeliers two meters high that were custom-designed in Italy, inspired by the Ottoman ere, witch influenced some Lebanese architecture.

Draping texture envelop the most yet elegant space, softening the architecture. Dark-wood furniture and fittings sit alongside the colored-glass surfaces, soft felt-upholstered lounge chairs and delicately patterned carpeting. Subtle blends of luxurious Middle Eastern details such as the hand-blown glass partitions and precious mother-of-pearls inlays contrast with contemporary minimalism.
