Project type
Residential Apartment
Location: Downtown Dubai, Dubai, UAE
Completion: 2023
Designed for Hong Kong-born entrepreneur Augustine Wong, this private residence reflects a contemporary interpretation of Asian-inspired living, blending cultural heritage with a refined minimalist aesthetic. Drawing from Wong’s roots and the sophisticated urban lifestyle of Hong Kong, XO Atelier created a sanctuary that balances functionality, serenity, and understated luxury.
The architectural language is defined by clean lines, carefully proportioned spaces, and a warm palette of natural oak, stone, and soft neutral tones. Inspired by traditional Asian principles of harmony and balance, the design incorporates bespoke timber screens, integrated joinery, and layered spatial transitions that create privacy while maintaining openness and flow.
A standout feature is the water-rippled polished steel installation within the living area, reflecting light and shadow throughout the day while evoking the calming presence of water. In the master suite, a fluted glass partition, reminiscent of traditional Asian screens, gently connects the bedroom and bathroom, allowing natural light to permeate the space.
The result is a timeless urban retreat where contemporary design, craftsmanship, and cultural influences come together to create a highly personal and tranquil home.
