Mizhar Villa, Dubai

The main design objective of this new build villa was to create a welcoming, stylish new home for an Emirati family. All the rooms are very spacious. The majlis and family living room are 80 m² each, so it was a challenge to provide a cosy, inviting feel to such large spaces. Another design challenge was to provide seating for up to thirty guests in the majlis without turning it into a seating showroom! The majlis reflects their Arabian heritage with oversized mashrabiya panels and Arabic calligraphy artwork. Most of the art in the villa was especially commissioned to enhance this project.
