Solara Estate

Dubai, UAE

When our clients asked for a home that felt like “sunlight made solid,” we shaped Solara Estate around the way Dubai’s light moves across a day. The brief paired ceremony with comfort: a statement arrival for hosting, quiet inner courts for family life, and absolute privacy between generations. We began with site walks at sunrise and dusk, mapping shadow, breeze, and neighboring views. That research set the plan: layered stone volumes step with the sun, deep overhangs and bronze screens temper glare, and every major room looks onto water or garden rather than the street. A discreet ramp drops to a tucked-away garage so the forecourt stays uncluttered for guests and art.

The clients were hands-on collaborators. Together we iterated the geometric screen pattern, tested full-scale stone and metal mockups, and choreographed evening lighting so the house reads warm and inviting without glare. Inside, a clear procession leads from a shaded portico to a tall hall, then branches to a formal majlis, family living, and a quieter wing for elders. Roof terraces and pocket courtyards extend life outdoors through the cooler months.
High-performance glazing, insulated walls, solar hot-water, and native planting keep operations efficient. Solara Estate is a luminous family home that balances presence and privacy, craft and clarity made to live beautifully in the desert light.
