The Sculpted Abode, Part 12: Moving In Just Before the Finish Line | Dubai Villa Renovation Week 9
We moved in. The marble’s in, the lighting works, and the dogs have claimed their corners. With just a few finishing touches left—curtains, polishing, furniture deliveries—we’re living in the space and designing the rest from within. This is the phase where a house becomes a home, and every detail is tested, felt, and lived.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 11: Furniture That Belongs | Dubai Villa Renovation Week 8
As construction winds down, the home begins to take shape through its most personal layer: furniture. In Week 8, we explore how sculptural forms, curated materials, and custom pieces complete the architecture, not just decorate it.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 10: Lighting as Architecture | Dubai Villa Renovation Week 7
Week 7 marks the final phase before lighting installation begins. Wardrobes are fitted, marble is in place, and the atmosphere is beginning to show.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 9: Joinery as Architecture | Dubai Villa Renovation Week 6
Week 6 of The Sculpted Abode. From kitchens to wardrobes, this week we explore how joinery forms the quiet architecture of our home — and why every detail, curve, and groove matters.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 8: Marble Staircase Design — Sculptural Spine of the Home | Dubai Villa Renovation Week 5
Week 5 of The Sculpted Abode marks a visible transformation: bathrooms tiled, ceilings closing, and a sculptural marble staircase taking shape. Carrara and Calacatta Paonazzo Verde set the rhythm across floors, while lighting and detail planning define flow. A story of craft, cohesion, and care — bringing our Dubai villa renovation closer to home.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 6: Dubai Villa Renovation Week 3 - Designing the Kitchen
As a final touch, the large blank wall in the kitchen will carry a gypsum relief inspired by Matisse’s The Dance — simplified to outlines only, a gesture of movement, joy, and connection. For us, it captures the atmosphere we want to feel in the space: alive, human, celebratory.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 5: What Are MEP and HVAC? | Dubai Villa Renovation Week 2
Week 2 of The Sculpted Abode marked a shift from demolition to rebuilding. Walls rose, systems were installed, and the invisible work of MEP and HVAC became the backbone of the home.


The Sculpted Abode, Part 4: Dubai Villa Renovation Week 1
Week 1 of The Sculpted Abode was a whirlwind of emotions and decisions. As both designer and homeowner, I faced the shock of seeing our family home stripped to its bones — and the urgency of solving unexpected MEP and structural surprises. With decisive action and a trusted team, the renovation moved ahead at remarkable speed.
