Amman Villa | Tarek Dada Interior Architecture and Design Agency

Tarek Dada, a trained architect, adopts a holistic approach to design, meticulously considering spatial relationships, circulation, lighting, furniture, and art. Centering his work around the connections between these elements, he defines his creations through their seamless interplay.

Completed in 2023, this multi-level villa in Amman showcases Dada's expertise in interior architecture and bespoke furniture design.

A semi-circular sofa, designed by Dada, in cerused oak respects movement and sociability, enhancing the living room's dynamic flow. Two large paintings engage in a dialogue across generations—Hala Choucair on one side, and her mother, Saloua Raouda Choucair, a pioneer of Arab abstract art, on the other.

It almost seems as though Dada has infused the space with the sober tones of the paintings. The villa unfolds like a sculpted interpretation of these works, rooted in the family history of the owners, showcasing the artistry and skill of Tarek Dada.

A sculptural dining table with a glass top and mirrored metalic legs elegantly rests in the dining area. Dada’s asymmetrical design of the tabletop invites a seemless, flowing circulation. Pendants are balanced on two light strands, leading the eye to the metal and marble bar, also designed by Tarek Dada.

The appliqués, resembling luminous sculptures, stand out as intricate compositions of geometric forms crafted from various textures and materials. The wall lamp is a bold and distinctive contemporary language, instilling the interiors with a unique character that shifts throughout the day, shaped by the interplay of shadows and the colors cast by light.

In this ultra-contemporary space, natural materials—metal, glass, brass, and wood—reveal their colors and textures, creating visual and tactile contrasts between the different levels of the apartment.

“While I studied architecture, I’ve always had a deep interest in furniture design. For this project, the majority of the pieces - sofas, tables, lamps - were custom made. The goal was to create a strong dialogue between the space and the furniture, with each piece tailored to ensure a natural flow throughout the house,” explains designer Tarek Dada.

The walls are dressed in brass from the top of the staircase, down to an inviting lounge. On the ground floor, warm wood enhances the area dedicated to relaxation, marked by an open kitchen that extends to a terrace and an outdoor pool.

By playing with shadows and light, Tarek enhances the spatial qualities of his interiors, imbuing them with a timeless elegance that surpasses trends. His work stands as a testament to the beauty of curating unique furniture and designing bespoke pieces, inviting deeper connections within the spaces and seamlessly linking them together like a timeless story.
