Spaces That Breathe Life
Manaa Living - 5 Star Winner for Best Hotel Interior (AU) International Property Awards 2025-2026

Truly great design goes beyond aesthetics – it cultivates connection, inspires vitality, and brings spaces to life. When tasked with reimagining the interiors for this boutique short-term accommodation, our vision was to create a sanctuary that harmonizes with its natural surroundings while offering a modern, inviting retreat for its guests.
Guided by the theme “Spaces That Breathe Life,” this design journey showcases our innovative approach to design, where every element is carefully curated to reflect nature’s essence, evoke serenity, and seamlessly integrate comfort with purpose. This project is more than just a collection of rooms: it is a living, breathing environment that fosters rest, rejuvenation, understated elegance, and a connection to the elements, while remaining durable and purpose-fit. From multifunctional layouts that balance form and function to a material palette inspired by Australia’s raw beauty, every detail has been thoughtfully selected to reflect the patterns, textures, and hues of the surrounding landscape.
This collaborative vision celebrates the synergy between A Life By Design and Manaa Living, showcasing how thoughtful collaboration and how purposeful design can transform spaces into destinations of tranquility and vitality. “Spaces That Breathe Life” is a testament to our philosophy of blending functionality with inspiration, creating environments where guests can reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
