Marina Tower

Located on Dubai Marina, this residential project turned a small space into a home that is a conversation starter. The layout works like an art gallery, creating movement through the home so that people can pause and look at the space or the artwork around them.

The design is warm and inviting, with a youthful energy.

The existing layout closed off the living areas and used the space inefficiently. Removing a few selected walls made a large difference to the space.

Art pieces are placed through the space to lead people from one point to the next. Visitors are welcomed by a sculpture in a niche at the entry, then a suspended art piece against a metallic backdrop, then a statement wallpaper that acts as the central artwork in the living area and ties together the other pieces in the room.

Neotenic furniture pieces have been added to give the space a playful energy.

To make the bedrooms feel larger, the design expands their perceived size. Seating is placed against the window for views of the Marina waterfront. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet that leads to the master bathroom, with sliding doors to save space.

Different textures and bright pops of colour give the design a playful, experimental character.

The home is aimed at people looking for a place that is young, fresh and modern.
