A six-bedroom residence in Al Barari, Dubai's green, private enclave. Designed around light, space and the surrounding gardens, Villa Blanco brings family living, wellness and entertaining together in one calm, contemporary home. Its recognition at the Identity Design Awards 2024 is one reason ELE is regarded as one of the best interior design studios in Dubai.
Set on a generous plot in Al Barari, Villa Blanco was designed for a couple who wanted modern luxury in harmony with nature. Alongside open-plan living and entertaining spaces, the brief called for a private cinema, a gym, a spa and an executive office, all woven into one layout that makes the most of space and light.
The mood board begins at the front door: an olive tree in a marble planter, beneath a sculptural brass light. From there, a crisp palette of white and boldly veined marble, black-and-white inlaid floors and touches of gold sets the tone, with a full-height glass pivot door leading through to formal dining.
Villa Blanco is now a calm, bright and private home. A backlit marble feature wall, a glass-walled wine cellar and a glass fireplace partition give the formal lounge its presence, while the cinema, gym and spa make everyday life feel like a retreat.
