Glass House

A project by the ileniaviscardiarchitetto studio.

Type:

Glass House

Place:

Dubai, UAE

Work:

Interior design, spatial planning, custom furniture design, and the selection of materials and finishes.

Designing a Glass House in Dubai meant creating a space capable of ensuring comfort and a high quality of living in a context defined by high temperatures, intense solar exposure, and significant temperature fluctuations, while maintaining a continuous relationship between the architecture, the garden, and the surrounding landscape.

Integrated into the villa as a true garden pavilion, the Glass House was designed as a versatile space for both the owners’ everyday life and entertaining guests.

A space for relaxing, listening to music, engaging in conversation, or holding a business meeting, always immersed in natural light and surrounded by views of the garden.

Large glazed surfaces, paired with lightweight curtains, regulate light and comfort, while an extensive wooden wall panelling conceals a system of sliding doors integrating a mini kitchen, refrigerator, storage, multimedia spaces and dedicated hobby areas, preserving the architecture’s clean, uncluttered character.

Outside, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue completes the project, expanding the possibilities for experiencing the garden and pool as one continuous living space.

Materials, colours, and lighting draw inspiration from the tones of sand, water, and stone, shaping a contemporary architecture that is seamlessly integrated into the setting of a luxury villa in Dubai. Here, interior architecture, custom furniture, architectural lighting, landscape design, and outdoor living come together to create an elegant, functional, and timeless space.
