Zomorrodi & Associates: The Awir Villa project, with a built-up area of 2,500 square meters on a 25,000 square meter plot, is located in the Al Awir area of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This project includes five main buildings: the main villa, the guest villa, the stable, the majlis (sitting area), and the banquet hall. Additionally, there are two entrance buildings (north and west), and facilities such as security, staff quarters, a children's playground, a paddle court, a tennis court, an outdoor pool, a barbecue area, a gazebo, and walking paths within the villa grounds. The main challenge of this project was to redesign the buildings according to the regulations and standards of the UAE while preserving the original structure of the project.
The previous design was bound to symmetry and forced to follow the formal lines of the project. However, by strengthening the structure and creating new volumetric compositions, multiple activity scenarios were developed, resulting in a dynamic volume that is compatible with the site and responsive to the internal and external needs of the project. These volumes have created various arcades and terraces with different views. In this project, windows are not just connection points; they are themselves entrances and places of interaction between the interior and exterior, meaning that most of the spaces in the buildings are connected to the outside.
The main villa includes three floors with amenities such as a cinema room, gym, party hall, spa area, dry sauna, Jacuzzi, and traditional bath. Additionally, a workshop space is provided for individuals interested in creating artistic works. Awir Villa, nestled in the Al Awir Desert of Dubai, presents a unique architectural project that seamlessly harmonizes the Bohemian style with the modern urban landscape of the city. Upon stepping into the villa, visitors are enveloped in a bright and airy ambiance, transporting them to a realm of artistic expression and liberated living. Awir Villa is a testament to innovative architectural design, offering a seamless fusion of Bohemian charm and contemporary urban living. It serves as a sanctuary where residents can immerse themselves in a lifestyle of comfort, leisure, and artistic inspiration.
Overall, Awir Villa is a creative symbol of the combination of modern and dynamic architecture with a unique style that aligns with the relevant climate standards.
