Gemini Splendor Residential Development, Dubai

Gemini Splendor Residential Development consists of an 8 storey buildings comprising 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments, penthouses and town houses located within Sobha Hartland in the heart of MBR City and with beautiful views to Burj Khalifa and Ras Al Khor Sanctuary.

Lulie Fisher Design Studio was appointed to design the interiors for the development together with the furniture, accessories and styling of a 3 bedroom duplex show home and The Green Bridge Group were the contractors while AEDAS were responsible for the architecture.. The brief from the Gemini Group was to design a luxury interior to an affordable budget. This is the real point of difference – to use rich materials smartly and elegantly in limited areas where the resident comes into close contact with them and where they pack the most punch and to combine them seamlessly with inexpensive but attractive and durable finishes.

The interiors exude style and glamour and feature contemporary design elements with a sophisticated material and colour palette. The colour scheme is bold and highly contrasting to create drama and interest and to complement the simple and sleek detailing. A minimal black steel stair with black marble treads has been designed to float against a full height feature wall in deep blue.

The floor finish is timber look porcelain planks throughout and the kitchen counter tops are white reconstituted stone with the cabinet faces in a combination of glossy white lacquer and characterful and warm Afara veneer. Afara is also used for the doors, wardrobes and bathroom joinery. Black Marquina and Serpeggiante marbles are used for the bathroom vanities and bath surrounds with glass mosaics for feature walls. All residences are equipped with a smart home automation system that controls the lighting, curtains, music system, and air conditioning via an app, which can be installed on a smartphone and handled remotely. The first floor of the development houses the amenities including an infinity swimming pool, a kid’s pool, a children’s play area, steam and sauna rooms, a basketball court and indoor and outdoor gyms.
