Redefining coastal living within an urban context, Island Villa is situated along Dubai’s constructed shoreline. Designed by SAOTA, with interior décor by ARRCC, the project maximises its site by opening the home toward the sea, using careful layout, transparency, and materiality to deepen the connection between indoor spaces, the surrounding landscape, and the broad coastal views. Framed outlooks across the Arabian Sea maintain a deliberate connection to Dubai’s skyline.
SAOTA’s design emphasises fluid connections between spaces and climate responsiveness. Expansive, column-free openings on the ground floor dissolve the boundary between inside and out, creating seamless continuity between living spaces, shaded terraces, and gardens. Carved courtyards and outdoor rooms regulate light and ventilation, applying passive cooling strategies and creating opportunities for outdoor living.
Upstairs, bedrooms and a gym face panoramic sea views. Across the villa, deep overhangs, custom screens, and articulated façades choreograph light, shade, and privacy. Bespoke glass-reinforced polymer screens and patinated copper details reference regional craft traditions while offering shade and visual interest.
