About the project
Dubai Hills Villa is an example of modern luxury and a refined private residence. Anarchitect designed the project as per modernist principles, making sure to take care of material, craft, and detail. Dubai Hills Villa is a 3,000 sqm private property located in Dubai’s new upscale neighbourhood, Dubai Hills. The practice was appointed to re-plan and design a residence in which the family could grow, manage their busy lives and express individual passions for fashion, art, motorsports and upscale social gatherings.
The designers re-styled the space to draw in natural light, connect various property levels and turn a sprawling floor plate of the villa into a bespoke home which responds to the family’s needs. The result, delivered by Anarchitect’s international team, enhances the ‘togetherness’ of all the family members through clever spatial planning, ingenious way-finding for the youngest family members and addition of interconnected areas dedicated to specific family past-times and lifestyle activities.
‘‘Throughout the design process, we constantly visualised how different members of the family would use each and every space within the new home” explains Jonathan Ashmore, Anarchitect’s founder and principal. The concept centered around Dubai Hills Villa as a refinement of a ‘dense and solid mass’ inspired by the region’s vernacular response to the extreme climate conditions. The proportions and volumes of some of the property’s interior spaces are intentionally imposing with the use of beautifully satin-finished natural solid stone that inherently cools the ambient temperatures and softly reflects incidental light around the spaces to create a calm and serene spatial condition for the home. The new inner courtyard extension created a statement entrance gallery to the property – four and a half meters high and flooded with natural light through a structural-glass skylight.
