EA183 Private Residence, Dubai

The client briefed E plus A Atelier to create a cosmopolitan multi-functional sophisticated living space that embraces the family living and serves as a beautiful space for various social functions. The residence is in a sought-after location, and the interiors honour regional design with a neutral colour palette that reflects the warm UAE light and the warm tones of the surrounding desert plains. The residence has spectacular views of the iconic Dubai skyline, the perfectly manicured tropical gardens and the surrounding neighbourhood. The confident art and bold highlights mirror the occupants’ characters.

E plus A Atelier created a blueprint of the proprietor and the inhabiting family’s needs to ensure a functional space that allowed them to circulate efficiently throughout the residence whilst retaining an appreciation of Arabic-inspired style. A sense of biophilic living is apparent throughout the design with exquisite detailing, a neutral colour palette and delicate detailing. The overall design is an inimitable blend of modernism, extensionism and an elegant nod to traditional Middle Eastern opulence.

Throughout the EA183 Private Residence, E plus A Atelier has thoughtfully considered the family’s demanding lifestyle to create a home with the comforts expected of a luxury hotel. The neutral colour palette and natural materials are emphasised with subtle highlights of teale, artwork and suspended sculptures. Constantly on the move, the inhabitants desired a stylish home they could effortlessly secure when away.

Dubai is the wonder of the design world. The client wanted to incorporate the grandeur of the inspirational environment with impressive living spaces. The soothing colours throughout the opulent residence allow for a sense of calm for the occupants with a blend of floor-to-ceiling windows, restful décor and playful nature-inspired highlights allowing them to rest and entertain.

The most challenging installation was the grand, oversized staircase. E plus A Atelier reworked the design blueprint to ensure that the white marble, brass detailing, and wood accents blended with the softness of the overall design. Alterations to the shell and core structure were technically challenging and required first-rate MEP planning to ensure functionality and practicality without compromising on aesthetics.

The lavish movie theatre and games room have oversized comfortable seating, exquisite modern and mischievous art, and views of the Burj Khalifa. The Corissia tree garden, viewed from the sitting room, is an impressive talking piece that looks striking due to the floor-to-ceiling windows and the impressive views of the futuristic skyline. Hand-blown glass suspended sculptures throughout the residence afford a sense of nature and provide unique accents mimicking the character of its occupants.

E plus A Atelier has carefully considered the fully-automated residence with enhanced mood lighting and an impressive surround sound system, including underwater speakers.

E plus A Atelier curated each piece of artisanal-made furniture. They spent time with various designers to ensure the tailoring of the materials was according to the owner’s exacting needs and seamlessly blended with the rest of the residential space.
