The 19,000-square-foot home at Volante Dubai is described as a 'villa in the sky.'
No detail has been overlooked in the home’s design process; the residence features crosscut Navona travertine walls, Silver Romano Classico travertine flooring and a sculptural black-marble staircase. Artful elements abound, from the dramatically recessed light fixtures to the geometric paneling along the ceiling. There are two kitchens outfitted with Bulthaup and Miele systems—a main kitchen and family room and a back wet kitchen.
More akin to a private park than a rooftop, the penthouse’s two full floors of building-length terraces feature a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard. Outdoor amenities include an infinity pool overlooking Dubai’s famed skyline, a firepit surrounded by ample alfresco seating, an outdoor bar and dining area, loungers and a private garden with trees. Perhaps the most enchanting elements are the views, from Dubai’s most iconic landmarks to the gin-clear Persian Gulf.
“It’s very easy to make life complex, but it’s difficult to simplify things, especially in a city like Dubai,” says architect Andrew Lemon. “Under-promise and over-deliver is one of our principles, especially in a city of hyperbole.”
