RAWABI AL SHAM
LOCATIONAl Barsha, DubaiSECTORRESTAURANTSSCOPEConcept & Interior Design
A restaurant that reads like a walk through an old Levantine village — vaulted plaster arches, carved stone niches and olive trees beneath a soft, sun-washed glow.
THE BRIEF
The concept began with memory: courtyards, hand-carved stone and the warmth of a family table. Textured plaster vaults and arched niches wrap the dining hall, each niche holding pottery or relief carving, while a sculpted portrait wall gives the room its soul.
Natural timber chairs, linen tones and living olive trees keep the atmosphere relaxed and generous. The arched façade, bronze-framed entrance and an adjoining butcher counter extend the story to the street. Black Opal developed the full concept and interior design for the project.
