Dubai’s new generation of villas is defined by light, views and indoor-outdoor living. These are the design ideas we see most often in luxury homes — and what they mean for construction.
Open-plan living with full-height glazing
Large open living spaces with floor-to-ceiling glass bring in light and views. They need careful structural design and coordination of shading and cooling for Dubai’s climate.
Indoor-outdoor terraces
Sliding glass walls that open onto deep terraces blur the line between inside and outside. Level thresholds, drainage and waterproofing are the details that make them work.
Infinity pools and water features
A pool is now the centrepiece of many villas. Our guide to swimming pool construction covers infinity edges, finishes and structure.
Natural, warm materials
Stone, timber and textured finishes balance the clean lines of modern architecture. Explore how we approach materials in luxury mansion construction.
Smart and efficient homes
Integrated lighting, climate control, security and energy-efficient systems are now expected. See sustainable villa construction for efficiency ideas.
Bringing the design to life
A great design needs a contractor who respects the architect’s intent. See our Contemporary Villa and Signature Villa projects.
