Whitespace Architects have been shortlisted for Residential Architectural Property Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2023.

Whitespace Architects have orchestrated a residential project that artfully celebrates the seamless harmony between architecture and the surrounding desert landscape in Dubai. 

Whitespace Architects’ architectural concept revolves around elegant simplicity, with clean lines and volumes that effortlessly complement the natural contours of the desert site. The villa’s design ensures a continuous flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, achieved through strategically placed courtyards.

An ingenious use of local materials, such as the warm tones of travertine, reinforces the villa’s seamless integration with its desert setting. These sandy hues harmonise beautifully with the landscape, creating a sense of unity between the architecture and the surrounding nature. Operable walls and skylights further enhance this connection, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces and fostering a profound sense of oneness with the outdoors.

Whitespaces Architects’ commitment to sustainability shines through in every aspect of Villa Sogno’s design. Adhering to environment-friendly international standards adapted to local conditions, the villa incorporates innovative engineering and MEP designs to ensure optimal energy efficiency and waste minimisation. 

Flexibility and adaptability are key aspects of the villa’s design, with spaces thoughtfully designed to transform and suit various needs. This versatility allows residents to create personalised living areas that seamlessly evolve to accommodate their unique lifestyles, further enriching the living experience.

Approaching the villa, visitors are captivated by the clear, abstract geometric volume that stands in harmony with the desert landscape. The villa’s pivoting full glass entrance door serves as an impressive architectural feature, a preview of the sophisticated elegance that awaits within.

Throughout every element of Villa Sogno’s design, Whitespace Architects have successfully created distinct architectural focal points, such as the mesmerising water features inside the house. These elements contribute to the villa’s unique appeal, enhancing its allure as a one-of-a-kind oasis in the desert.
