As we enter February, I am incredibly proud to present to you our much-anticipated – The Power issue, a celebration of the visionaries and trailblazers shaping the landscape of the A+D industry. This edition takes you on a journey through the remarkable minds and creative forces defining the future of opulence and aesthetics.

Within this issue, you will see a selection of individuals and entities who are at the forefront of shaping the industry and setting standards of excellence in the region. Our Power List showcases the architects, interior designers, product designers, firms and galleries who, through their innovation, dedication, and commitment have pushed the boundaries of design. From ground-breaking residential spaces that seamlessly blend technology with timeless elegance to awe-inspiring public structures that serve as testaments to architectural ingenuity, each honouree on our Power List has left an indelible mark on the world of design last year.

Besides the Power List, this issue delves deep into the world of luxury design, exploring the trends and insights that are shaping the world of interiors and architecture. We look at the fusion of modern technology with classic craftsmanship, exploring how the digital age is influencing the creation of spaces that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also technologically advanced.

As with every issue, we have selected projects from the region and across the world to explore the stories behind the blueprints, the inspirations behind the facades, and the passion that fuels the design process.
