This ‘Viola’ penthouse is where luxury meets modern design
Located on the shoreline of Palm Jumeirah, this 5,241 sqft penthouse offers an impressive space that has been entirely re-imagined by the Mercury Projects. What was once a standard unit now comprises three bedrooms, four bathrooms, three terraces, a study, and a hidden spa.
Led by Hamed Ghavidel, Mercury Projects designed a home that offers the perfect blend of upscale and grandeur living accompanied by functionality and comfortability. The signature touches of viola marble effortlessly accentuate the overall style of this penthouse.
The penthouse’s charming personality takes center stage with porcelain and crystal chandeliers greeting you from the downstairs dining and living area, with touches of antique Persian rugs adding depth to its expressive design.
To the left of the dining area is an inviting, luxurious kitchen waiting to be used for culinary exploration, feasts, and constant entertainment, complete with viola marble, warm oak, and bronze accents. With two islands, an electric stovetop, and ample pantry space, this functional space was designed as the perfect setting for culinary ambitions.
To the right of the living room, lies the study which hosts warm undertones of buttery, soft leather and suedes. The study has a secret – a hidden door that reveals a sauna. Re-energize your mind, body, and soul and find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of Dubai life.
The three private terraces host views of the beachfront. A marble staircase takes guests up to the informal living and bar area, presented in a tableau of blues to mirror the sea views beyond.
The upstairs encompasses an inviting, open-plan space with entertainment of all possibilities. The corner bar is beautifully decorated with viola marble tops and gold accents, and is fully equipped to cater to all your refreshment needs. Next to the bar, you will find the perfect living room complete with a wraparound sofa and Missoni-inspired mid-century tweed chairs.
Past the living room, you will find all three bedrooms designed with their own unique charm and distinctive style, with stunning views and ample natural light. The master bedroom’s welcoming visual palette of creams, linen, tweed, and boucle echoes sophistication and a sense of belonging. The walk-in closet adds to the room’s allurement.
Mercury Project’s perspective on the design was to take advantage of the natural light flowing into the penthouse and create a space that takes guests on a journey. Hamed Ghavidel, the Founder, explains how all these design elements work together to create a space that “evokes style, theatricality, and relaxation, all in one practical home.”
