Villa 22

Set in Dubai, Villa 22 was designed as a private retreat that tempers luxury with calm. The interiors move away from excess and toward spatial clarity - light-filled, tactile, and quietly structured. Natural materials form the foundation: sand-washed plaster, handwoven textiles, bleached oak, and stone with warm, veined character. The palette is muted but layered - ivory, beige, dusty rose, sage - applied not as decoration, but as part of the architectural rhythm. Custom-built elements anchor the space: integrated bed frames, deep bench seating, and floating vanities in rose-toned stone. Lighting is minimal and recessed, accentuating form rather than adding flourish. Arches soften transitions between zones, while mirrors and openings create subtle visual loops that extend the space without overstating it. The layout privileges openness without sacrificing intimacy. In the bedrooms, quiet corners and low seating invite pause. The bathrooms echo the same ethos - monolithic vanities, textural tiling, and fixtures in brushed brass that feel both sculptural and grounded. Villa 22 is not designed to impress - it’s designed to last. A spatial language rooted in balance, stillness, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t ask for attention.
