Studio M. completes a residence that echoes the building’s refined architecture
Perched within the iconic One at Palm Jumeirah, this residence is a masterclass in contemporary minimalism shaped by the rhythm of the sea. This exceptional home spans 1,021 sqm and embraces the essence of coastal serenity, thanks to its exceptional sea views.

Designed by the acclaimed interior architecture studio Studio M, the residence is a study in restraint, purity, and meticulously curated detail. Light natural materials form the foundation of the design language, infusing the home with a sense of calm that elevates the experience of beachfront living. Bespoke joinery, greyed oak wood, and timeless natural stone come together to create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and deeply soothing.


The residence was conceived for a British couple and their teenage son. It is conceived as a sanctuary that blends luxury, comfort, and wellbeing. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to support relaxation, intimate gatherings, and moments of quiet retreat. Neutral tones wash over the interiors, enhancing the sense of openness and allowing the surrounding seascape to take center stage. Textured plaster walls and custom-crafted joinery add depth and character, balancing softness with architectural presence.

At the heart of the home, the open living and dining space celebrates connection. A sculptural curved sofa subtly defines the zones, while the organic silhouette of the Arthur Casas dining table anchors the room with understated elegance. Bespoke bar cabinetry completes the ensemble, creating a warm and inviting setting for hosting and everyday living. The residence is further elevated by a curated selection of iconic furniture pieces from internationally renowned designers. Brands of note include Apparatus, Maxalto, Fort Standard, Joris Paggioli, Studio Twenty Seven, Knoll Chairs, Fritz Hansen, and Sabine Marcelis. Each item has been chosen not only for its aesthetic value but for the way it harmonises with the home’s serene palette and refined sensibility. The result is a living environment that feels cohesive, intentional, and effortlessly luxurious, crafted for those who appreciate beauty in its most distilled form.
