Architecture meets art at this stunning villa on the Palm Jumeirah
Crafted as a seamless dialogue between structure, space and setting, Framed Allure is nestled along the exclusive stretch of ‘Billionaire’s Row’ on Palm Jumeirah. This four-level, five-bedroom residence was designed in collaboration with Alpago Properties (a subsidiary of the Alpago Group) and architectural design firm Emre Arolat Architecture (EAA), with interiors by CK Architecture Interiors, and embodies a deep sensitivity to its surroundings. The geometry is striking yet restrained, balancing sculptural connection with refined detail. Open layouts and purposeful transitions between rooms encourage a gentle rhythm to everyday living – spaces feel fluid, never forced. True to its name, every angle, line and material choice is intentional, offering an immersive spatial experience where design meets tranquillity.

At the Framed Allure villa, spaces are fluid, never forced
Inside, the interiors have been curated with a clear design philosophy: muted grandeur. “We’re not here to build for today, but to craft experiences that stand the test of time, redefining luxury for generations to come.” shares Murat Ayyildiz, Founder & Chairman of Alpago Group. Furnishings and fittings by renowned brands such as Minotti, Poliform, B&B Italia, Technogym and Axor are seamlessly integrated into the architecture, emphasising craftsmanship and comfort without unnecessary flourish. Tones remain neutral, textures layered, and the aesthetic remains unmistakably elegant.
Each en-suite bedroom extends beyond the conventional, featuring its own lounge or entertainment zone, allowing residents to host intimate gatherings or retreat into solitude, all framed by uninterrupted views of the sea. On the lower levels, art and curated design elements have been used to infuse warmth and light, ensuring every corner of the home resonates with the soul and emotion.
Beyond its visual poetry, Framed Allure is also functionally exceptional. Amenities are strategically embedded throughout, designed to enhance lifestyle with ultimate convenience – from a private cinema and golf simulator to a rooftop jacuzzi, an infinity pool and an air-conditioned basement parking built to accommodate a supercar collection.
