Luxury villa design

The Cube 61 is a private house of travertine, dark walnut and black stone in Umm Suqeim 2, Dubai, completed in 2024. It is planned around a courtyard pool so that the dining room and the family rooms look onto water rather than onto the street. Towards the road it presents a composed, closed face of travertine, dark timber slats and a lit boundary wall, photographed at dusk beside a neighbouring villa the studio also designed. LKYOOB LKYOOB LKYOOB Inside, the kitchen is a black stone island with bar seating under dark walnut cabinets; fluted walnut lines the passages, and the bathroom doors pivot in the same timber; a travertine feature wall is washed by uplights; and a full-height dark pivot door stands in the entrance hall...

Walk into almost any modern luxury villa in Dubai and you hit the same architectural problem. Vast, open-plan floor plates framed by massive glass walls look stunning in promotional photos and feel cold, noisy, and disjointed in daily life. When cooking, dining, and lounging zones merge without clear spatial definition, homes lose their intimacy. Add the glare of Middle Eastern sunlight bouncing off all that glass, and high-end living spaces frequently turn into echo chambers instead of restful retreats. When tasked with designing Villa Midori, a 3,000-square-foot residence in Al Barari, Dubai, principal interior designer Amanda D'Souza and her team at Euphoria Interiors set out to solve exactly this. The brief called for a full transforma... More

In the summer of 2016, we designed One Mu Garden in Suzhou (one mu = 666.67m2).

After a turn, we encounter a moon gate that offers a glimpse of the main garden's landscape. To access the garden, we need to first go indoors on t... More

Garden design is a process of evolution, creating an arrangement that connects the inhabitant with the environment. Driven by a spirit of spatial innovation and guided by Gilles Deleuze’s theory of the "rhizome," the concept of "becoming-garden" seeks to deterritorialize the traditional garden, redefining it to evolve alongside the residential systems of modern architecture. Atelier LI Situated in a villa district in the southern suburbs of Suzhou, the project addresses a dual spatial trap: the monotonous matrices of typical contemporary houses, and the rigid, historical formulas of traditional classical gardens. Both typologies, in their own ways, impose a sedentary, captured way of living—trapping inhabitants either with... More
