Villa K is a two story private residence located in Meydan’s Millenium Estates in Dubai, UAE. The Villa spreads over two levels revealing a double height ceiling at the main entrance, the stairs lobby and the main reception space. IAIA Studio used various marble slabs and finishes to accentuate the potential of natural stone in the home’s interiors. Marble Slabs have been carefully selected to match with one another, wrapping floors and walls, and sculpted to include patterns, textures and lighting details.
‘We wanted to show what can be done with the Marble’ says IAIA Head of design Darine Jabeili.
Being a marble lover, the client wanted to create depth and various tones and atmospheres singularly through the use of marble. They wanted to emphasize themes within the different spaces, accommodating their unique lifestyle. In response to the client’s needs and aspirations, Villa K’s aesthetic is one of ‘altered materiality’ – an avant-garde approach to deal with various materials together in one spatial complexity. Throughout the design process, the four natural elements were present, taking part in the design decision process and iterative methodology.
Bio Based in one of the most culturally diverse cities of the world, IAIA regrouped a team of exceptionally experienced and imaginative creative designers. We were able to establish a structure to work with international clients, providing design expertise in their homes, villas, resorts, restaurants, cafés, shops, stores, workplaces and more. In fact, our designers have taken on large scale projects and numerous construction sites providing state of the art design solutions.
