A Lebanese-French architect has designed a gorgeous $27 million villa in the ‘highly-exclusive’ Emirates Hills community of Dubai.
Designer Jean-Louis Mainguy is behind the interior blueprint of the 26,000 square-foot estate. The villa is spread across three levels, and includes seven bedrooms, stunning living and family rooms, two custom-built kitchens and a spacious media room.
The property is marked by LuxuryProperty.com at AED $98 million, which is about USD $27 million.
Mainguy is a world-renowned interior architect based in Beirut. He is known for designing elegant, yet modern styles of spacious villas in the most exclusive neighborhoods of the Middle East.
The Dubai property design was also inspired by Italian architect Mauro Lipparini.
In addition to the beautiful dining room and kitchens, the villa showcases one the most scenic views of Dubai.
The master suite features its own sitting room, and a large private balcony.
A wellness and recreation area, home gym, luxurious spa and home entertainment facility are all part of the spacious basement.
LuxuryProperty.com is delighted to present this magnificent seven-bedroom villa in Sector E of the highly exclusive Emirates Hills community.
Covering an internal area of 27,000 sq ft and spread across three levels including a spacious basement, this home displays a very stunning sense of design, which is immediately apparent on seeing its modern, multi-tiered facade.
The main reception area, with contrasting light and dark marble floors and elegant oak beams across the ceiling, makes for a grand entrance. The living and family rooms are immense, covering more than enough space to host a small gala. They connect to a very elegant dining room with a high ceiling that looks like the private room of a Michelin-star restaurant. The home features two custom-built kitchens with beautiful wood surfaces that add a rustic element, along with professional-grade Miele appliances. The living areas lead to an office/study room that overlooks one of the very best scenic views in Dubai, and there is also a guest bedroom on this level.
Five further bedrooms are located on the first floor, along with a Jack & Jill room that’s ideal for children. The master suite features its own sitting room and a large private balcony, plus his and hers walk-in closets. The basement is where this home really comes to life. Set up as a wellness and recreation area, the space features a fantastic home gym with hardwood flooring and full-length mirrored walls, a luxurious spa and sauna, and a large home entertainment and media room.
Every aspect of the interior design needs to be seen to truly be believed, with meticulous detailing by renowned designers Jean-Louis Mainguy and Mauro Lipparini. Custom-designed beams, imported Jerusalem and travertine stone, rich oak accents and surfaces all add up to a home that has been designed with the highest levels of quality and detail in mind. Picture windows open up the space even further and enhance the spectacular views of the Address Montgomerie golf course, with Dubai’s skyline spread along the horizon.
The terrace is a great place to relax and enjoy the sunsets over Emirates Hills, but it is so much more than that. An infinity pool runs nearly the length of the villa, and is separated from a lovely Jacuzzi by sunken seating and a fire pit. The stone flooring of the pool deck is temperature-controlled so you can take a pleasant walk to the pool even in the summer months. The landscaping has been meticulously thought out to enhance the tranquility of the home, and designed by the award-winning Vladimir Djurovic. A key feature of the exterior space is a beautiful towering tree, which has been specially imported from Argentina and is over 3,000 years old.
This villa is, quite simply, a marvel of architecture and interior design. It has also been kept to the highest standards, with a level of maintenance one might expect from a boutique hotel. For our discerning clients who are seeking a high-quality family home in Dubai, it does not get any better than this.
