Located on Jumeirah Bay Island, in the Arabian Gulf and directly connected to the urban fabric of Dubai, Copper Villa occupies a privileged position between the intensity of the city and the quieter atmosphere of a seaside retreat.
Rather than adopting the historicist language often associated with high-end residences in the region, the project is defined by a more restrained approach, in which materiality and spatial clarity take center stage.
It demonstrates the studio’s ability to adapt its architectural language to different contexts. Here, principles often found in Brazilian houses, such as openness, continuity and the tactile presence of materials, are reinterpreted in dialogue with local traditions of shade, enclosure and filtered views.
The internal organization follows a clear hierarchy. The ground floor accommodates the social areas, including living and dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen and the swimming pool, arranged in generous spaces with high ceilings that favor natural ventilation and spatial continuity. The first floor contains the private suites and a family room. The upper level concentrates a more introspective program, with an office, library and terrace, opening to views of the sea and the skyline of Downtown Dubai.
The façades play a central role in the identity of each residence. Custom-designed brise-soleil and mashrabiya systems, developed with metallic elements, regulate light and ensure privacy while adding depth to the architecture. More than ornamental elements, they act as environmental mediators, responding to solar orientation and climate, and enhancing the relationship between interior and exterior.
Here, oxidized copper brise-soleils establish a dynamic relationship between architecture and landscape, enveloping the façade with a materiality that continuously shifts under the desert light. Their bluish-green patina subtly echoes the tones of the waters surrounding Jumeirah Bay, creating a visual continuity between the residence and its coastal setting.
