Island Villa

Doha, Qatar

A Stone Island thrusts from the ocean sheltering an inner world. A serene and mysterious Mansion is imbedded in a limestone wall and shaded by a dichroic glass crystal shaped akin to the sails of a dhow. Gardens flow from the arcing wall framing views back to Doha and the Gulf. Deep time is evoked by Qatari limestone in juxtaposition to the “James Bond 007” aspects of the villa. Limestone slabs shelter and embrace a luxurious interior life with interconnecting gardens, terraces and pools.
