POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some of you know me as the person behind @cmarc__, but what many of you might not know is that my journey actually began in architecture and design.

Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working across some incredible residential projects throughout Sydney, including my time at Stafford Architecture.

While CMARC has allowed me to explore my love for architecture through a different lens, I’ve quietly been working on something of my own.

I’m incredibly excited to finally introduce @rumamdesigns, my design practice, alongside one of its first completed projects, Beit Augustine.

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Beit Augustine is a modest renovation, but one that holds enormous personal significance.

The name translates to House of Augustine in Arabic, paying tribute to the clients’ eldest son. In Lebanese culture, fathers are often affectionately referred to as the father of their eldest child, a tradition I wanted to celebrate through the home’s identity.

Throughout the project, Augustine was a familiar face at site meetings. We’d often talk about what he imagined his home would become and the memories his family would create within it. Naming the home after him felt like a fitting tribute to the family and a subtle nod to my own cultural heritage.

Much like my Lebanese upbringing, my approach to design embraces layers, contradictions and the coexistence of different materials, histories and cultural references. It’s about creating spaces that feel personal, lived-in and connected to the people who inhabit them.

What makes this project particularly special is that I had the opportunity to bring together everything I love doing. From design and styling through Rumam to photography and videography through CMARC, I’ve been fortunate enough to see this project through every creative stage.

A little full-circle moment, and hopefully the beginning of many more.

Welcome to Rumam.

Who doesn’t like design, but also… who doesn’t like a fit check?

Still waiting on that @carharttwip_au collab.

Side note: ATO, Carhartt is technically workwear.

A Melbourne trip calls for a quick pit stop at @_swop to cop this carhartt steal, a coffee from @acoffee_melbourne and a last stop at the @tadao_ando_architecture M Pavilion for a quiet “reflection”

A week in Melbourne — good fits, good coffee, good design.

A @_swop Carhartt steal, @acoffee_melbourne and a quiet moment of “reflection” at the @tadao_ando_architecture MPavilion.

A full-circle moment.

After spending five years working at @staffordarchitecture, and much of that time working on this Watsons Bay home, it feels pretty special to return years later with @cmarc__ to capture it as it nears completion.

A little BTS for now, can’t wait to share more.

Here’s to another full-circle moment.

As some of you may already know, I studied both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Architecture and worked in the field for a number of years before going all in on cmarc. Prior to that, I spent around five years at @staffordarchitecture, gaining so much experience and insight into the industry.

For the majority of my time there, I had the privilege of working on this incredible home in Watsons Bay and now, years later, being commissioned to capture it as it nears completion feels pretty special.

It’s been quite the journey, and I’m excited to see this one finally come to life. Here’s a little BTS insight for now. Can’t wait to show you more.

A little BTS from our two-day Melbourne shoot with @akehurstowencimino. From estates with heritage listed gardens in Mt Macedon through to the bustling terraces of South Yarra, we visited some truly beautiful projects. We can’t wait to share what came out of this trip.

Follow along for more.
