The brief was to transform a vast seven-bedroom villa into a comfortable, sophisticated and feminine home. The client wanted a truly integrated home that was fresh, soft, cosy, and feminine yet kept it quite understated and family orientated. The design team was tasked with ensuring the various rooms had their own identity and flowed seamlessly from space to space. The designers created separation between the main family living areas and the more formal areas such as the majlis, formal dining room, and study; this dictated the overall flow and layout of the villa.

Its soft, light and inviting scheme with neutral colours, warm timbers, and soft grey marble mixed with subtle accent colours contributed to create the ultimate retreat. The spaces were designed to link and connect to the vast landscape. In particular, the majlis and formal dining feel like contemporary garden rooms as you are surrounded by full-height glazing with immaculate landscaping beyond. This connection to the outdoors also continues throughout the inside, with large plants placed in the corners of the rooms and some ground floor areas open onto the terrace giving an indoor-outdoor experience.
