Pearl Jumeirah Villa

A family house on Pearl Jumeirah, built on a palette of marble and mid-to-dark timber, with brass as the thread that ties one to the other.

In the reception rooms, black marble is inlaid into white in long bands that draw the route through the house, and lit shelving set against the same black stone turns the dining wall into a display. Further in, the materials warm: walnut coffering over the family room, chevron oak underfoot, veined brown marble in the bathrooms. The children have a room of their own to climb in.
