Located in a quiet residential area near Dubai’s waterfront, Casa SC28’s design effectively integrates with its natural surroundings, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The use of glass and concrete in a simple volume, combined with lush vegetation, creates a balanced contrast between the built environment and nature.
The large windows on the facade that open onto the street bring filtered natural light into the living area, create a mutable space during the hours of the day. The double-height central volume serves as the focal point of the house, around which the various rooms are arranged, providing a sense of continuity and flow throughout the house.
The use of a water mirror that runs the entire length of the lot from the street to the back, as the central feature of the ground floor, adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the interior spaces. The interplay of solids and voids on the roof creates a protected space that is always shielded from direct sunlight, resulting in a captivating patterns of light and shadow on the garden and interior of the house.
The second level contains the bedrooms and master suites, all of which offer stunning views of the garden and the distant horizon of the sea through large windows that create a sense of continuity between the sorrounding landscape. The rooftop terrace provides a spacious family leisure area overlooking the sea, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living.
