Living Room • Ashjar E1, Ashjar, Al Barari, Dubai, UAE
The media console now spans the entire TV wall, visually lengthening the main axis. A much larger, light-colored rug expands the floor plane, anchoring the living area. Continuous linear LED lights within ceiling coves provide a prolonged, even glow.
A deeper sofa with an oversized chaise creates an extended lounge area. The dining area’s far wall is painted a darker tone, visually compressing that zone. This balances expansive living with intimate dining spaces.
This room extends comfort while defining focused zones.
Design Philosophy
The design applies Visual Elongation to stretch the main living axis. Low-profile elements and expansive rugs achieve this effect. Deep Comfort Zones define areas for extended relaxation. This creates a breathing space with varied interaction points.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye is drawn to the extended media console, lengthening the room. You walk across the wide, light rug to the expansive sofa. Here, you settle into the deep chaise.
Light Study
Morning light streams broadly through windows, washing the light rug. Evening brings a prolonged, even glow from the linear LED cove lighting. This light is dimmable, offering controlled atmosphere.
Living Vignette
Sit back on the deep chaise, your feet on the soft rug. The long media console provides a steady visual horizon.
Material Palette
Polished concrete flooring: Cool and smooth underfoot, it gains a subtle patina over time.
Woven natural fiber rug: Its subtle texture offers soft grounding, becoming smoother with wear.
Deep pile upholstery: Soft and inviting to the touch, its nap deepens with use.
