Projects — Where we work

Qatar

Doha — Msheireb Downtown

Saloni has worked in Qatar for years, with a base in Msheireb Downtown, Doha. The market is exacting: international operators, world-class architects and clients who compare Doha's interiors to Milan and London. We manufacture to that benchmark in our own atelier and manage the logistics from Amman to site so nothing about the distance shows in the finished room.

01

The brief we hear in Qatar

Ambitious, materially rich and internationally referenced. Reception spaces in book-matched marble and lacquer, guest rooms with fully integrated joinery, and residences that mix contemporary form with majlis-scale hospitality. Programmes are tight and tied to opening dates, and the specification is often written by a European design house.

02

Designing for the climate

Doha's extreme summer heat and coastal humidity are the constraints. Interiors are heavily air-conditioned, so timber sees a punishing moisture gradient; we build for movement and seal accordingly. For anything near the coast or outdoors — terraces, pool decks, cabanas — we specify teak, thermally-modified timber, marine-grade metal and solution-dyed textiles.

03

Delivering to site

Projects are dry-assembled and quality-checked in the workshop, crated to protect against heat and handling, and shipped with full documentation for Qatari customs. Our install team travels with the consignment, works to the contractor's programme and completes snagging on site. We supply fire and performance certificates for all contract items.
