Cover · The Last Supper
01
Living
19 rooms across the portfolio
Where the home decides its temperature. The wall becomes the architecture, and everything that follows is held against it.
Signature · 01
Carved plaster relief
Bare branches sculpted into a slab — lit so the relief casts shadow on itself. The room's centre of gravity.
The Last Supper
02
Kitchen & Dining
18 rooms across the portfolio
Stone leads. Bookmatched slabs read as paintings; everything else falls in line behind them.
Signature · 02
The Last Supper, in stone
A hand-carved cream-stone relief inset into bookmatched Calacatta — backlit, framed in a thin gold reveal.
The Last Supper
03
Bedrooms
21 rooms across the portfolio
Soft architecture. Padded headboards become walls; channel-tufted velvet runs floor to coffer. The room is held in fabric.
Signature · 03
Padded button headboard wall
Tufted velvet panel set against a thin brass reveal — fluted millwork running the full vertical column.
Khayyal Residence
04
Bathrooms
24 rooms across the portfolio
Cast brass meets backlit stone. The everyday room becomes a cabinet of curiosities — every fixture is jewelry.
Signature · 04
Cast-brass branch pulls
Long molten-cast handles with a tassel finish — Ruba's most recognisable single detail. Hand-finished, never identical twice.
Patagonia
05
Spaces
49 rooms across the portfolio
The rooms between rooms. Stairwells, dressing chambers, basement worlds — where the house gets to surprise you.
Signature · 05
Kufic on walnut
Brushed-brass Arabic Kufic letters applied to a walnut panel — language as detail, anchored in place.

the work is held together by hand.
