Designed<\/strong> and thought <\/strong>out in detail<\/strong>, this Egyptian villa<\/em><\/strong> stands out for its small details<\/strong>. \u201cSomething as simple as a doorknob, or even a light switch, can be a source of great pleasure. No detail is too small.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Laithy Mekawy to Architectural Digest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is always a sensory connection<\/strong> that runs through Mekawy\u2019s work<\/em><\/strong>. In this villa<\/em><\/strong>, sharp lines<\/strong> and smooth curves<\/strong> accentuate the architectural gestures<\/strong> throughout the two-story villa, brilliantly enhancing the rustic charm<\/strong> of the exposed wooden ceilings and neo-cement floors<\/strong>. The result is an elegantly cohesive space<\/strong> that is not only pleasing to the eye but also celebrates its beautiful beachfront setting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shades of eggshell<\/strong>, cream <\/strong>and pale smoke<\/strong> are accented by interesting ceramic<\/strong>, natural materials<\/strong> including wicker, linen, terrazzo and canvas<\/strong>, with furniture, artwork <\/strong>and bathroom accessories adding a nuanced splash <\/strong>of colour<\/strong>. Abstract art<\/strong> and Rana Ajam\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> exquisite sculptures <\/strong>provides contrast <\/strong>in both colour and geometry in a way they lend thrill and drama without taking away from the overall sense of peace and calm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think about this Mediterranean Villa?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Outside is a beautifully marbled courtyard <\/strong>with a timeless Mediterranean vibe<\/strong>, white rough stone<\/strong>, aged terracotta<\/strong> pots and lush plantings <\/strong>that look even more dramatic <\/strong>as the sun casts ethereal shadows <\/strong>throughout the day and leaves the house bathed in the amber glow of afternoon light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
