Desert Villa Dubai

The location of the project is on a large family plot in Dubai,UAE. Since the climate here is harsh, the villa volume Is in a desert landscape with minimal greenery and vegetation. The client’s brief was to design a bungalow villa with strategically placed greenery and landscape elements in response to the site and climate. The design solution is a sleek, sculptural volume placed in the rugged sandy landscape, with beautifully designed interior and exterior spaces. With an elegant and minimalist design approach, the interior and exterior spaces blur seamlessly into the overall volume. By framing the exterior space of the garden, the perception of the villa becomes a picturesque experience where the interior and exterior spaces truly blend together as one.
