1.5 billion for the luxury resort, spa and residence project

Al Osaimi Group, a leading Kuwait-based developer, has announced the appointment of internationally acclaimed interior design firm, Wilson Associates - Singapore, to handle the interior design of its AED 1.5 billion luxury resort, spa and residence project located at the Crescent of The Palm Jumeirah.

The developer has allocated a budget of AED 400 million for the furniture, fixture and equipment of its maiden offering in the UAE, which is set to be officially launched in February 2008.

With initial design work set to commence within the first quarter of 2008, Wilson Associates is set to create a custom interior for the project in line with the Moroccan and Indian-based architectural themes adopted for the five-star family resort and seven-star luxury hotel respectively.

The firm has allocated various teams to design and execute the different phases of design from initial concept to project completion. Wilson’s design professionals comprise registered architects, accredited interior designers, renderers, and draftsmen. Wilson Associates is a 23-time winner of the prestigious American Hotel and Motel Association’s "Gold Key Award" for Excellence in hospitality design.

Founded in 1975, Wilson Associates has built a strong reputation for its highly specialized interior architectural designs, ranging from award-winning hotels such as the Park Hyatt Dubai to themed resorts and casinos like the Palace of the Lost City, South Africa and the Atlantis in Dubai.

At present, the firm has designed and installed more than one million guestrooms in hundreds of hotels worldwide through the expertise of its 350 talented and multi-cultural staff. The firm offers a full range of interior architectural design services, from initial space planning and design to construction documents and construction administration. Utilising the company’s wide range of global resources for its international clientele, Wilson Associates maintains offices in Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Johannesburg and Shanghai.
