Bulgari Mansion 5

The project for Bulgari Mansion 5 in Dubai is a prestigious single-family villa that embraces simplicity and minimalism, with art and landscape taking center stage. The villa is designed in a T-shape across two levels, surrounded by a large sculptural garden on three sides. Throughout the garden, art pieces are thoughtfully placed, creating an artistic pathway for visitors.

The ground floor is dedicated to the living area, with an open kitchen connected to the dining area and the living space. The large flush windows provide panoramic views of the garden and the outdoor water pool, seamlessly merging the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Natural light fills the space, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to nature. At the entrance, a suspended wooden staircase with an almost invisible structure becomes a striking focal point, creating a play of light and shadow. Two rectangular skylights further enhance the interplay of light within the interior.

Ascending the staircase leads to a suspended balcony on the first floor, connecting the two volumes dedicated to the bedrooms. Two large double-height windows frame views of the garden, visible from both the ground floor and the balcony. The sleeping area consists of two separate volumes, with the master bedroom featuring a spacious closet. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathrooms, are located in the second volume.

The villa is characterized by a soft color palette inspired by nature, harmonizing with the garden's vegetation and sculptures. Italian marbles and woods are used throughout the living area and bathrooms, adding a touch of contemporary elegance and warmth to the design.

The Bulgari Mansion 5 project reinterprets the traditional structure of Arabian residences, incorporating water and vegetation as functional elements for bioclimatic cooling and intelligent utilization of sunlight. The house creates a connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, providing an immersive living experience within the domestic landscape.
