ELE Interiors transforms a Dubai Hills home

The concept revolved around creating a harmonious living experience, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces

The vision for ALTO Villa by ELE Interiors encapsulates contemporary luxury, with a focus on modernity, elegance and functionality. Infused with cutting-edge technologies and design concepts, the villa aims to cater to discerning homeowners seeking a sophisticated yet timeless living environment. The villa’s concept revolved around creating a harmonious living experience, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces. Expansive windows and sliding doors frame panoramic views of lush landscapes, flooding the interiors with natural light and blurring the boundaries between inside and out.

ELE Interiors – The Design Concept

Central to the design palette are natural elements like Carrara marble flooring, natural travertine walls and bespoke pieces that ground the villa in authenticity and refined luxury. The neutral colour scheme fosters a serene ambiance, allowing the natural materials to take centre stage. Brass accents and finishes add a touch of sophistication, harmonising with the villa’s design elements seamlessly.

ALTO Villa’s ambience is characterised by spaciousness and comfort. The open-plan living area effortlessly transitions into the outdoors, offering a picturesque view of the pool and landscaping. High-quality furniture from Italian brands like Minotti and Eichholtz ensures both style and comfort, while locally crafted pieces add a personalised touch.
