Six of the Best

InsideOut’s Home of the Year 2015 event, in association with Marina Homes Interiors, Proved once again that this region is brimming with stunning abodes.

This year’s quest to find the UAE’s most stylish homes didn’t disappoint! Entries poured in, and once again we were impressed by the creativity, originality and flair employed by our talented readers to realise beautiful and personal homes.

Choosing just six entries to go through to our final was far from easy as was deciding on an overall winner.   Our fabulous lunch at Tre by Roberto Rella at the Radisson Royal, our judging panel pored over the professionally taken photographs of every home, discussed and debated the merits of each and then all voted in a secret ballot..

Once the envelopes were opened and the scores counted up, it immediately became clear that while all six homes rated highly, one undoubtedly came out tops. ‘Bernard Creed’s apartment really impressed with its individuality and wealth of smart ideas, explains InsideOut editor Sharon Parsons.

‘His confident vision, combined with a passion for collecting pieces from near and far and the ability to pull it all together really comes through.  This is no cookie-cutter home: Bernard’s place has real personality and heart.
