"Where the sea meets La Dolce Vita.
Italian-inspired coastal cuisine, shaped by light, openness, and Mediterranean ease.
Giulia by the Beach is a chic alfresco dining destination located in Marsa Dubai, Dubai Marina, bringing Italian coastal charm to Dubai’s vibrant beachfront scene. Designed as a relaxed yet refined seaside restaurant, the space blends Mediterranean soul with the effortless glamour of Dubai’s waterfront lifestyle.
At HKZ Interior Decoration, every project begins with a clear understanding of how a space should function while supporting the overall dining experience. Giulia by the Beach reflects this approach, bringing together architectural detailing, material selection, and carefully planned spatial flow to create an environment that feels naturally connected to its surroundings. Designed to transition smoothly from daytime dining to evening ambiance, the project focuses on comfort, atmosphere, and a strong relationship with the sea.
Located in Marsa Dubai, the restaurant was envisioned as a destination where guests can enjoy coastal dining within a space shaped by light, openness, and thoughtful detailing. The design maintains a strong visual connection to the marina, allowing the surrounding views and waterfront setting to become an integral part of the experience. As one of the leading interior fit out company in dubai, HKZ Interior Decoration approached the project with a focus on delivering both visual harmony and long-term functionality.
Full Turnkey Fit-Out Execution
HKZ Interior Decoration delivered the full turnkey fitout for Giulia by the Beach, managing the project from execution through to final finishing across both indoor and outdoor areas. The scope included interior fit-out works, custom furniture production, soft furnishings, outdoor shading solutions, pergola structures, bar counter fabrication, entrance design, signage, flooring, planters, wall finishes, painting, MEP works, detailed metal fabrication, and metal platform fabrication.
Every element was executed with careful attention to durability and performance, ensuring the space maintains its visual appeal while meeting the operational demands of a busy beachfront restaurant. The integration of architectural, furniture, and shading elements allowed the project to achieve a cohesive identity throughout the venue.
Custom Furniture and Interior Elements
Custom-designed furniture played a key role in defining the character of the restaurant. Seating, tables, and lounge elements were developed specifically for the space, balancing comfort with durability required for a coastal environment. Materials and finishes were selected to complement the light, neutral palette while supporting long-term performance under sun exposure and frequent use.
Soft furnishings introduced warmth and texture, enhancing the overall atmosphere without overpowering the design language. The result is a seating experience that feels comfortable and refined while remaining aligned with the relaxed coastal concept of the restaurant.
Entrance and Architectural Features
One of the defining architectural moments of Giulia by the Beach is the custom metal entrance structure, carefully designed and fabricated around an existing tree. This approach allowed the natural element to remain part of the arrival experience while creating a distinctive visual identity for the restaurant.
The reception counter positioned beneath a dome further enhances the entrance sequence, creating a focal point that feels elegant and composed. The architectural treatment introduces softness through curves and form, setting the tone for the spatial experience that follows inside the restaurant.
Outdoor Shading and Pergola Solutions
Given the beachfront location, outdoor comfort was a major consideration. HKZ Interior Decoration implemented custom pergola structures and shading solutions designed to provide protection from sunlight while maintaining visual openness toward the sea. These elements help define seating areas and improve guest comfort without interrupting views or airflow, allowing the outdoor spaces to remain active throughout the day.
Design Approach and Atmosphere
The design language of Giulia by the Beach is light, airy, and grounded in natural materials. A soft neutral palette allows textures and forms to take prominence, creating an environment that feels calm and timeless. Gentle curves, refined detailing, and natural finishes contribute to a space that feels balanced and cohesive from every angle.
The custom bar counter serves as a central visual anchor within the restaurant, supporting both daytime service and evening dining. Its design encourages interaction while maintaining a relaxed and approachable presence within the overall layout.
A Seamless Connection to the Sea
Being sea-facing, the restaurant maintains a strong visual and experiential connection with its surroundings. Open sightlines and carefully arranged seating ensure uninterrupted views toward the marina and coastline, allowing the setting itself to become part of the dining experience. Planters and landscaping elements subtly guide movement through the space, while a water feature near the entrance adds a calm sensory layer to the arrival experience.
Conclusion: Crafting a Coastal Dining Experience
Giulia by the Beach stands as a reflection of HKZ Interior Decoration’s commitment to delivering high-quality, detail-driven fit-out solutions. Through a combination of custom craftsmanship, thoughtful material selection, and precise execution, the project achieves a balance between aesthetics, comfort, and functionality.
