Villa Solene

Dubai, UAE

When our clients first sat with us, they asked for a home that felt like a quiet resort at the edge of the city. Calm lines, honest materials, and a courtyard that would gather the family at the end of each day. Villa Solene grew from that simple brief. We shaped the plan around a protected garden court with a long pool and a sunken lounge set at water level. The idea was to bring the horizon down and slow the pace. Together with the clients we mocked up seat heights, tested splash edges, and refined the sound of the wall fountain until it read as a soft hush rather than a showpiece. Their preference for soft neutrals led us to a pale stone and putty stucco palette, warmed by vertical timber screens on the upper floor.

Large sliders blur inside and out, while deep overhangs and operable screens temper Dubai’s sun. High performance glazing, cross ventilation, and layered planting keep the microclimate comfortable without relying solely on mechanical cooling. The ground floor opens to the garden for effortless entertaining; the upper level holds quiet suites with framed views and privacy. Villa Solene is a calm composition of light, water, and texture. It is resort living made personal, built through a close and thoughtful dialogue with its owners.
