MAREDI Design

We transformed this Dubai villa from overly opulent and uninviting into a refined, layered, and much more livable home.

The goal for the project was to improve flow, embrace the volume, and channel the desert environment in order to create a warmer sense of luxury that still feels practical for everyday living.

The dining room was a central aspect of this home for a couple who entertains frequently. As expats in Dubai, they needed sufficient space to accommodate large families from out-of-town and a vast network of friends.

Touches of biophilic design were central to the process, as well as incorporating natural materials and local artisans and creators.

There’s something so satisfying in understanding the visual transformation of a space! Swipe through to see the before and the final result.
