In the words of Michelin-star chef Daniel Boulud, ”I love to create, and to me, the ultimate freedom of expression is a blank canvas of block of clay to capture whatever emotions your imagination gives it.”It is incredibly rare to find villas in Dubai , or indeed in most major cities around the world, with a fully constructed exterior and a blank canvas interior into which the new owners get to the design the home of their dreams. This amazing mansion is one of those rare opportunities.The vast majority of off-plan properties have either been designed both externally and internally according to the developer’s vision or the vision of the owner, or indeed are bare plots of land that need to be built from the ground up, so to speak.This beautiful seven-bedroom home is handed over as a ‘shell and core’ unit, meaning that the exterior has been fully built and painted while the interior remains unfinished, a blank canvas prepared for a homeowner’s artistic touch. Located in the exclusive community of Dubai Hills View, part of the 11 million square metres Dubai Hills Estate project, this villa provides a truly unique design proposition.Villas in Dubai Hills View are available in three architectural styles. This particular home is a ‘Contemporary’ villa, composed of sleek angular lines and floor-to-ceiling glasspanelling. Other options include Mediterranean villas inspired by Spanish and Italian coastal homes, or Arabesque villas reminiscent of traditional Arab domiciles.The villa is spread over three levels that includes a basement, with every facet of the interior left open for bespoke design, from the paint that coats the walls to the layout and functionality of each individual room.“When it comes to off-plan properties, this is an ideal choice for the discerning buyer,” according to Jason Hayes , CEO of Luxury Property. “It helps to avoid the pain of architectural drawings, building permits and 24 months of construction, plus the inevitable headaches that come with all of that.”“The home is delivered as one vast open space. Just take the keys and design the internal configurations of the rooms as you desire.”The villa is located along the 18-hole Dubai Hills Golf Course, enjoying unlimited verdant panoramas of the surrounding community.Dubai Hills Estate is the first phase of MBR City , an immense ‘city within a city’ concept, and follows through on that with a selection of premium lifestyle amenities within easy reach. These include landscaped gardens and walkways, the golf course, the expansive Central Park, Hills Estate Mall (which will be comparable to Mall of the Emirates upon completion), schools and hospitals.
