About this project

The concept places a sequence of quiet courtyards at the centre of the plan, allowing light and air to move through the house while preserving privacy.

Villa Qasr Nakheel is a residential work in Al Barari, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A private residence organised around shaded courtyards, deep thresholds and a restrained palette of stone and plaster. Dezignow was engaged for architecture, interior design, construction, carrying the work from first concept through to delivery on site.

Architecture

Massing is resolved as a set of horizontal volumes with deep overhangs, calibrated to the orientation of the site and the movement of the sun.

Interior

Interiors continue the exterior language: warm plaster, honed stone and timber joinery, detailed to keep surfaces uninterrupted.

Construction

Execution focuses on tolerances at the junctions between stone, plaster and glazing, coordinated closely with specialist trades.

Project record

A full project record — client, programme and completion details — is released on request. The summary here describes the scope, character and intent of the work.

Begin

Let's create something distinctive.

Whether the commission calls for architecture, interiors, construction or all three, we are glad to discuss it.
