Emirates Hills Family Residence

Interior and landscape delivered as one scheme, so the garden reads as an extension of the house.

2,100 m² Plot area

142 Exterior fittings

Single DALI backbone Control

14 months Programme

The brief

Two separate contractors had been appointed for interior and landscape, and the two schemes had been designed without reference to each other.

Our approach

We took both packages into a single control system and matched colour temperature across the threshold at 2700K. Garden uplighting was balanced against interior levels so that the glazing stops acting as a mirror when the family is sitting inside.

The outcome

From the majlis the garden is visible rather than reflected — the result of balancing interior and exterior levels rather than adding more exterior light.
