AJ House

program: Residential / Private location: Nad Al Sheba Third, Dubai, UAE
Area: 733sqm status: Under Construction year: 2024

This 733 sqm family residence in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, embodies a refined approach to contemporary design, where clarity of form meets functional living. The architecture features a clean, rectilinear composition, with large glass panels strategically placed to invite natural light while maintaining a sense of privacy. The interplay of solid and void is accentuated by the use of deep overhangs and recessed balconies, which provide shading and contribute to the building's dynamic facade.

The material palette is intentionally restrained, with the juxtaposition of smooth plastered walls and finely detailed wood accents. This combination adds warmth and subtle texture to the otherwise minimalist exterior, creating a balanced aesthetic that is both modern and welcoming.

Functionally, the design is organized around a central axis, optimizing the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The inclusion of a private swimming pool and landscaped courtyard emphasizes a connection to nature, enhancing the living experience with carefully curated views and outdoor amenities. The home’s design prioritizes comfort and sustainability, integrating passive cooling techniques and natural ventilation to respond to the local climate effectively.

The project has to demonsrate a thoughtful integration of architectural elements, where every detail serves to enhance the living environment without resorting to excessive ornamentation, achieving a sophisticated yet understated elegance.
