September 19, 2019

Claudio Modola Design is delighted to announce that it’s private villa project “Bayt Singué Sabour on Meraas Development Jumeirah Bay Island 2 has been awarded “Best Architecture Single Residence, Dubai 2019 / 2020” award at the Dubai, Africa & Arabia Property Awards, held at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square on the 12th June.

Claudio Modola Design competed against the best property professionals in Dubai to be recognised in the prominent category. At the same event is was also announced that the villa has been nominated to represent Dubai in the regional competition for the coveted “Best Architecture Single Residence Arabia” awards to be held at the Savoy Hotel in London in early December 2019. If successful, the villa will go onto to represent the entire region in the World’s Best competition competing against other private villas from different continents.

We are thrilled to have the project recognised in this way. Having already won a number of awards in this category, in previous years, we believe this is a testament to our decision to specialise almost exclusively in the architectural and interior design of high-end water-front villas across the Middle East and Africa. It is a demanding sector, as each home is essentially crafted around our client’s unique aspirations, individual lifestyle requirements and the site specifics, but it is also incredibly rewarding.”

Larger design studios often shy away from servicing prestigious home projects, fearing time-consuming, complex details. We don’t. We are rather a small boutique studio who likes to work on a limited number of projects at one time, getting to know our clients and having a profound understanding of their requirements. It is only in this way, I believe, that we can we create real homes. Through our work we are given the opportunity to make a significant difference to the quality of our client’s lives in a very tangible way…. that is something I take very seriously and find very special
