The Burj Residence is located in one of Dubai?s busiest residential neighborhoods and accordingly surrounded by many low rise houses.

The client requested for a design that ensures the highest level of privacy and allows for the construction of a 1600 sqm house on a relatively small sized plot. He has also requested for a certain level of grandeur with a great deal of natural light.

The entry experience starts at the boundary wall making the most out of the plot size. A timber overhang was used to complete the geometry of the ?L? and to give privacy to the internal corridor from the street side.

One of the challenges was the definition of grandeur. In a region where grandeur is still widely expected to be shiny with lots of glitters, a mood of grandeur needed to be created, a magnificent space minus all the usual glitter. A space that one would normally experience in museums and grand galleries.
