Designed according to wabi-sabi — which is centred around simplicity, imperfection and transience — this two-bedroom penthouse with a study enchants. Located in Dubai Creek Harbour's Dubai Creek Residences, the chic, 5457 sq. ft. home — designed by award-winning firm VSHD Design — and a 2900 sq. ft. outdoor terrace enjoys magnificent views of the Creek and the iconic Dubai skyline in the distance.

Wabi-sabi emphasises an individual's well-being through interior design, a belief that plays out here through a neutral palette of off-white and cream, alongside earthy hues of dark brown, grey and black.

Materials and textures here have been uniquely inspired by nature; they include textured stone and weathered timber. All materials have been sourced locally, with sustainability and environmental design a key focus. The overall aesthetic includes covering the living room floor with cement flooring to match the walls and ceiling plaster finish, and the existing doors being replaced with frameless ones to appear as if one continuous surface.

The residence boasts luxurious lines, rich materials, and a breathtaking use of furniture — endowing it with fresh and harmonious interiors that hold modern minimalist lines and rich, earthy textures, uplifting well-being through smart use of light and space. This design reflects Dubai's unmatched urban elegance.

Most of the artwork dotting the interiors is available as well, and has been created by local Emirati artists.
