The Skyline Penthouse occupies the top two floors of a landmark residential tower in downtown Dubai, commanding uninterrupted views across the city skyline and Arabian Gulf. The clients — a globe-trotting couple who use the property as their primary Middle Eastern base — required an interior that combined the warmth of a private home with the amenities and discretion of a luxury hotel.
Discuss a Similar ProjectThe existing penthouse was a blank developer shell of exceptional quality but zero character. The clients' brief was extensive and sometimes contradictory: warm yet cool, intimate yet grand, deeply personal yet suitable for professional entertaining at the highest level. The project required the creation of 14 bespoke furniture pieces and a lighting system capable of shifting the apartment's entire atmosphere across multiple preset 'scenes'.
The design language centres on a dialogue between warm bronze metalwork, pale Italian travertine, and deep walnut — materials that maintain their presence whether the space is flooded with daylight or lit for an evening gathering. Custom furniture was designed in collaboration with specialist craftsmen in Italy and the UAE. The lighting system — 480 individually addressable circuits — allows the complete atmosphere of the apartment to transform in under 10 seconds.
