The project transforms an existing villa through a comprehensive rethinking of its architectural language, establishing a dialogue between contemporary design and Middle Eastern spatial traditions.
The villa was entirely reimagined – from its architecture and spatial zoning to a complete redesign of the façades. We created a new outdoor living area, reworked the pool, and brought greater clarity to the surrounding landscape.
Rather than expanding the structure, the intervention focuses on redefining its expression. The original composition of smooth white volumes is rearticulated through a system of layered elements – arched openings, textured surfaces, and softened geometries – introducing depth and a more contextually grounded identity. These references are interpreted in a controlled, contemporary manner, balancing regional cues with architectural clarity.
Outdoor spaces play a central role in the project. Terraces, shaded dining areas, and lounge zones are arranged as a spatial sequence, integrated with water features and planting. This organisation enhances both everyday usability and environmental performance, supporting privacy and microclimatic comfort.
The furniture strategy extends the architectural narrative, combining sculptural and modular pieces by Driade, Exteta, and Poliform. Materiality and light define the overall perception of the space: a restrained palette of stone, plaster, wood, and metal creates a cohesive and tactile environment.
By working with the existing structure, the project enhances spatial quality while ensuring long-term relevance and adaptability.
