WERNER FALASI Consulting Architects, a leading architectural and engineering firm renowned for its innovative and sustainable designs, has received the Luxury Lifestyle Awards title of Best Luxury Architecture (Single Residential Project) for their outstanding work on the “Floating Villa” in Dubai, UAE. The project is a stunning example of modern, luxurious, and environmentally conscious architecture.

Founded in 2008, WERNER FALASI Consulting Architects has consistently delivered exceptional and innovative architectural solutions. Under the leadership of Partner/Manager Hannes Werner and Partner Mansoor Alfalasi, the firm has set a high standard in the industry with its holistic design approach.

The Floating Villa, which commenced construction in September 2021 and was completed in November 2023, epitomizes the firm’s passion for luxury and sustainability. The client’s vision for the villa focused on maximizing natural daylight penetration and integrating greenery throughout the design. This vision was realized through the strategic placement of spaces around a central courtyard, ensuring optimal daylight and ventilation for every interior space.

Characterized by sleek, clean lines and a minimalist design, the Floating Villa merges contemporary architecture with a balanced integration of nature. The villa’s design emphasizes the use of natural materials and open spaces, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living. The muted colors and earth tones used throughout the villa instill a sense of calm and sophistication, while the expansive glass facades, including floor-to-ceiling panels, maximize natural light and provide panoramic views of the surroundings.

One of the villa’s most distinctive features is the pool positioned beneath the first-floor master bedroom suite. This innovative design element creates a shaded, naturally cool environment that can be comfortably enjoyed year-round, even during Dubai’s warmest months.

Sustainability was a key focus of this project. The design incorporates energy-efficient features such as solar panels and sustainable building materials. All windows are double-glazed with a high U-value and mild reflection, recessed deep within the façade to enhance energy efficiency. The shaded driveway ensures continuous airflow, naturally cooling the villa, while strategically placed louvers allow for a cool breeze to enter the property.

WERNER FALASI Consulting Architects provided comprehensive services for the Floating Villa project, including architecture, engineering consultancy, and site supervision. Their attention to detail and focus on sustainability ensured that the client’s vision was realized in the most innovative and environmentally responsible manner.

“Thank you, Luxury Lifestyle Awards for this coveted award. We are very proud of our Floating Villa, and are excited for the world to see it!”, said Partner Hannes Werner.
