Villa · Jumeirah Islands
Classical bones, a modern heart.
The project
Villa Octavia keeps the tiled roofline, carved plaster and arches of a Mediterranean villa in Jumeirah Islands, then opens the interior into a calm, contemporary home of travertine, fumed oak and warm light. The two languages meet at a double-height living core where a suspended emerald-glass installation falls past a full arched window to the pool.
Our team delivered the project end to end, structure, glazing, marble, joinery, lighting, automation and landscape, so the heritage façade and the modern interior read as one considered whole.
01 · Villa Octavia
The heart of the house rises two full storeys to a bespoke installation of hand-cast emerald and clear glass, suspended on fine cables that pour down past an arched window to the garden. Travertine walls, herringbone oak and a honed-stone fireplace hold the room in warm, gallery-quiet calm.
02 · Villa Octavia
Beyond the core, a sequence of living spaces unfolds along herringbone oak, a sunken lounge under a coffered ceiling, lit display joinery, a sculptural arch-leg console and a curved black-steel stair. Soft greys, bronze and a circular mirror keep the volume generous and serene.
03 · Villa Octavia
A tasting room wrapped in fumed-oak joinery and glazed, climate-controlled cabinets sits off the kitchen behind a slim black-steel arch. Backlit shelving, a chequerboard-marble threshold and a round ebonised table make it a quiet, considered pause between the formal and family wings.
04 · Villa Octavia
Outside, the house is staged for the evening, a sunken travertine lounge and fire pit between the palms, a lit pool against the arched glazing, and a carved-plaster entrance court that frames the heritage façade.
