A Night to Remember: Reflections from the CID Awards 2025 MENA

The Commercial Interior Design Awards MENA 2025 brought together the region’s leading designers, architects, and industry professionals for an evening celebrating creativity, innovation, and excellence.

For Claire Dominics Buro, it was a proud occasion to stand among the finalists, with the OUD Hotel receiving Highly Commended in the Hotel Concept of the Year category.

More than an awards ceremony, the evening celebrated the evolution of contemporary design across the region.

Surrounded by inspiring projects and creative minds, the event reinforced the growing importance of storytelling, craftsmanship, and emotional design in shaping meaningful spaces.

Recognition for the OUD Hotel reflected our belief that great interiors are experienced not only through sight, but through atmosphere, materiality, light, and emotion.

"Design becomes truly memorable when it engages every sense and creates an emotional connection that lasts."

Where Design Meets Experience

This year’s Cyber Garden theme transformed the venue into an immersive environment where nature, technology, and performance came together.

Through layered lighting, lush greenery, music, and sensory experiences, the evening reflected a design philosophy that closely aligns with our own—creating spaces that inspire through emotion, storytelling, and human experience.

A Proud Milestone

Receiving Highly Commended for the OUD Hotel was a amoment for our team and a celebration of the collaborative spirit behind every project.

Sharing the evening with fellow designers, architects, and industry leaders reminded us that the future of design is shaped through creativity, dialogue, and a shared commitment to excellence.

The CID Awards 2025 MENA was more than a celebration of achievement—it was a reminder of the passion, innovation, and collaboration that continue to drive the design industry forward.

For Claire Dominics Buro, the recognition of the OUD Hotel reinforces our commitment to creating thoughtful, sensory-led environments that tell meaningful stories.

As we continue our journey, evenings like these inspire us to push creative boundaries while remaining true to the values that define our work.
