Firmly inspired by the desert and its surroundings, Penthouse M aims to capture the intense connection between human well-being and nature. The neutral palette of off-whites, cream and earthy tones of dark browns, greys and blacks reflect this bond, gently evoking the colors of the Middle East.

The materials and textures used were also inspired by nature, creating an overall ambience that gives a sense of simplicity and nobility within the space.   The limited range of materials used were sourced locally, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly design.

Designed for an Emarati artist, the project was inspired by the concept of a home-studio that resembles a plain, pure canvas. The client's desire was an extraordinary achievement which boasts clean lines, authentic materials and a breathtaking use of furniture within rooms with lots of negative space, imparting a sense of calm, freedom and harmony.

Following the client's wish, VSHD Design selected materials inspired by the nature, including textured stone, weathered timber, and chalk paint made from clay.   The use of natural materials in the apartment gives each space a welcoming feeling, a vital atmosphere needed by everyone in a place they call home.   After having studied the lines, the texture and the color, the materials were selected with care and correctly combined so as not to be rigid or cold and to guarantee the desired result: the creation of a functional but warm home, which reflects the values of purity and authenticity.
