A renowned architectural and engineering firm is being recognized for its outstanding work on the Floating Villa project in Dubai, UAE. The Floating Villa, completed in November 2023, is a stunning example of modern, luxurious, and environmentally conscious architecture.
The firm, known for its innovative and sustainable designs, has consistently delivered exceptional architectural solutions under the leadership of Hannes Werner and Mansoor Alfalasi. Their holistic design approach sets a high standard in the industry.
The Floating Villa, constructed between September 2021 and November 2023, perfectly embodies the firm's passion for luxury and sustainability. The client's vision of maximizing natural daylight penetration and integrating greenery throughout the design was successfully realized. The strategic placement of spaces around a central courtyard ensures optimal daylight and ventilation in every interior space.
Characterized by sleek lines and a minimalist design, the Floating Villa seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with nature. The use of natural materials and open spaces creates a harmonious indoor-outdoor living experience. Expansive glass facades and floor-to-ceiling panels allow abundant natural light and panoramic views of the surroundings.
One of the villa's standout features is a pool beneath the first-floor master bedroom suite. This innovative design element provides a shaded and naturally cool environment that can be enjoyed year-round, even in Dubai's hottest months.
Sustainability was a key focus in the design of the Floating Villa. Energy-efficient features such as solar panels and sustainable building materials were incorporated. Double-glazed windows with a high U-value and mild reflection enhance energy efficiency. The shaded driveway and strategically placed louvers promote natural cooling and airflow throughout the villa.
The Floating Villa project received comprehensive services from WERNER FALASI Consulting Architects, including architecture, engineering consultancy, and site supervision. Their attention to detail and dedication to sustainability ensured the client's vision was realized in an innovative and environmentally responsible manner.
Partner Hannes Werner expressed gratitude for the Luxury Lifestyle Awards' recognition, stating, "We are very proud of our Floating Villa and are excited for the world to see it!"
