KURAL VISTA

Looking eastwards towards the Dubai skyline from the G Frond of the iconic Palm Jumeirah, this villa, conceived by SAOTA for developer Alpago Properties, in collaboration with Executive Architects CK Architecture Interiors (also the project’s interior designers and contractors) exudes sophisticated understatement in its unassuming silhouette.

The brief was to design a home that would maximise the allowable space while embodying a sense of refined luxury, leaving room for creative interpretation from a design perspective. This allowed the team freedom to interpret the notion of residential luxury freely in the context of this exclusive enclave.

imageNot being limited by design restrictions, due to the absence of a designated end user, provided an opportunity to create something architectural and expressive, while still maintaining the prestige of the neighbourhood.

imageBlurring boundaries

The team drew inspiration from the striking waterfront site, harnessing its impressive views, to design a villa that blends with the urban landscape and, in true SAOTA style, seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces.
