Located in the relaxed residential beachfront neighborhood of Jumeriah, Dubai on Al Wasl Road, this enchanting contemporary pool house designed by VSHD Design Dubai serves as a space to enable the dual lifestyles of living and working simultaneously, during the post-pandemic period, with all the comforts and necessities of a living room and an office space. The villa consists of two blocks, a main block with a living and dining room and an outdoor open kitchen with a pool and a secondary block with a gym and a kids majlis.
The interior and exterior design of this sleek contemporary villa, situated amid lush verdant desert vegetation, features smooth minimalist lines accentuated with large floor-to-ceiling arched windows and subdued, earthy colors. The palette used is at once delicate and heart-warming further accentuated by the choice of furniture and accessories that is both high-end and sophisticated in style and craftsmanship.
The outdoor space filled with greenery links the two blocks, which serve as distinguishing traits of the property. One building is older and more traditional in build, while the other is more contemporary—a juxtaposition that enlivens the design language of the space. The home is a space that strives to communicate a sense of serenity through not only its architectural lines and designs, but the way in which such forms give way to the light that floods each space, evoking an interplay of light and shadow onto the home’s clean and minimalist design. The intermarriage between a simplicity of light, form and design gives way to a sense of calm and purity that affects the experience of dwellers when they inhabit and work in the space. This residential project eloquently experiments with the new trend of working from home with a live/work set-up in an inspiring environment that helps to evolve a family’s growing needs and desires.
