INSPIRED BY BALINESE DESIGN ELEMENTS AND COLOR TONES, THIS CONTEMPORARY VILLA LIES IN THE HEART OF DUBAI JUST AROUND THE CORNER OF THE VIBRANT EVER-GROWNING COMMUNITY OF CITY WALK.

THIS 3 STORY RESIDENCE WAS DESIGNED TO ENTERTAIN WITH A VERY MASCULINE AND MYSTERIOUS BASEMENT LEVEL BUT KEEPING THE NATURAL FLOW AND ENERGY OF THE GROUND AND FIRST LEVELS, BY TYING IN THE TWO SPACES WITH A COMPLETE OPEN PLAN CONCEPT WHICH IS FLOODED WITH NATURAL LIGHT AND NATURE INSPIRED DETAILS. 

THE OPEN PLAN CONCEPT IS KEPT IN MIND THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN, BEING TRANSLATED VERTICALLY BY THE USE OF MULTIPLE VOIDS WITH MOST OF THE SPACES AND CIRCULATION OVERLOOKING ONE ANOTHER. TO ADD MORE NATURAL LIGHTING WITH THE SUN POSITION OF DIFFERENT HOURS OF THE DAY, A RETRACTABLE SKYLIGHT IS USED OVER THE ZEN GARDEN AND STAIRCASE FEATURE ELEMENTS. 

MORPHING INTO A DARKER AND MORE MASCULINE SPACE, THE BASEMENT LEVEL IS MORE MYSTERIOUS AND RAW INTERIOR DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND WELLNESS. WE INCORPORATED DARKER AND RICHER DESIGNS FROM BALINESE ELEMENTS WITH THE USE OF SOLID TIMBERS,  CONTRASTING AGAINST ROUGHER AND MORE TEXTURED NATURAL STONES. AND FINALLY RE-INCORPORATING ACCENT MATERIALS WHICH WE'VE USED IN THE ARCHITECTURAL FACADES SUCH AS CORODDED STEEL BACK INTO INTERIOR CLADDINGS, ACCENTS AND DOORS.
