Villa · Jumeirah Islands
Classical discipline, modern clarity.
The project
Villa Capri occupies a corner plot in Cluster 28 on Jumeirah Islands, reworked inside and out as a restrained classical house, carved friezes, arched fenestration and a domed centrepiece outside; ivory panelling, herringbone oak and calacatta within.
Colour is held to almost nothing: bone, ivory, warm oak and a single dark accent, black marble, ebonised timber, a chocolate velvet cushion, repeated in every room so the whole house reads in one voice.
01 · Villa Capri
Panelling runs the full double height, framing a marble mantel with the screen set flush above it. Three cream sofas face the fire in a closed square, flanked by ebonised side tables and lamps, under a crystal-petal chandelier that fills the upper volume.
02 · Villa Capri
A moulded opening lines the second sitting room up with the dining room and the kitchen wall beyond, so a single sightline carries the whole ground floor. Herringbone oak runs unbroken through it, and a bordered rug marks each zone without a door or a step.
03 · Villa Capri
The formal dining room seats eight at a black stone table under a linear crystal fitting; next door, a round table for six sits between mirrored bar joinery and twin glazed wine columns for the later half of the night.
04 · Villa Capri
The one room that goes warm: full-height oak library bays lit shelf by shelf, a panelled desk with a marble ledge, a tan Chesterfield facing a round marble table, and a buttoned ottoman on a bordered rug. A slim bronze pendant hangs off-centre over the desk.
05 · Villa Capri
The principal bedroom takes its character from painted blossom panels set into ivory mouldings on both flank walls. A buttoned headboard, two armchairs at the window and a chocolate velvet bench at the foot of the bed complete it, the darkest note in an otherwise pale room.
06 · Villa Capri
Guest rooms and stairwells carry the identical vocabulary, ivory mouldings, herringbone oak, one ebonised piece, so nothing in the house reads as secondary.
07 · Villa Capri
The gym and garage are the only spaces to break the ivory palette, mirror, graphite and dark oak, treated as considered interiors rather than utility rooms.
08 · Villa Capri
The rear elevation is organised around a single monumental arched window under a domed pediment, with carved friezes either side and a lap pool set into clipped lawn below. Loungers, a dining pergola and topiary complete the sequence from the reception out to the water.
