Villa Del GAVI

Villa Del GAVI is a residential house with 87 residences in Dubai Islands, built by Mr. Eight. The building is under construction, with 38% of the work complete, and keys are scheduled for handover in Q4 2027. Homes are freehold.

Apartments and layouts The house holds 87 apartments: 52 with two bedrooms, 14 with three bedrooms, 4 with three bedrooms plus a maid's room, and 17 with four bedrooms. Two-bedroom homes measure 98.46 m² to 141.06 m² and start at 3,565,000 AED. Three-bedroom homes run from 182.56 m² to 430.12 m² and start at 7,200,000 AED. Four-bedroom homes span 233.38 m² to 497.1 m² and start at 9,525,000 AED, with a price per m² of 19,669 AED for the entry unit.

Building and architecture The structure will have a ground floor, two parking levels and 12 residential floors above them, 13 floors in total. Model Engineering designed the project together with the Mr. Eight Development team, and director Emils Daujats leads the product, the house's identity and the interior design work. The design draws on five traditions of working with space: Chinese feng shui, Indian Vastu shastra, European and African geomancy, Mayan cosmology with sacred geometry, and Japanese Shinto architecture with its clean lines.

Interiors and materials Apartments will be finished with built-in wardrobes and appliances. Floors in all rooms except bedrooms will be laid in natural Italian silver Romano travertine, with soft carpet in the bedrooms. Bathrooms will be clad entirely in natural stone, with Italian Calacatta Viola marble in the sanitary areas. Kitchens and wardrobes will come from Febal Casa, with stone worktops and Smeg appliances, and the wardrobes will have glass doors, eco-leather interiors and automatic lighting that switches on when opened. Bathrooms will have Tom Dixon sanitaryware and Antonio Lupi baths, lighting will be by Zonda Lighting, and Italian stone will feature in the finishes. Furniture by B&B Italia, Lalique crystal and Lasvit glass will appear in the interiors. The developer may replace materials with equivalent ones.

Shared spaces and beach The house sits on the first coastline of Dubai Islands, next to the water and a private beach. Two infinity pools with coastal views are planned, and the pool area will be finished in travertine with places to rest facing the sea and sky. The lobby will have fireplaces and a coffee machine, Italian travertine and marble details, and stone brought directly from quarries in Italy for the common areas and bathrooms. A tea lounge with pieces by Italian and French designers is planned, along with a closed residents' club and wireless internet in the club lounge, and a Technogym fitness centre equipped with a line designed by Antonio Citterio.

Service and transport Mr. Eight Management will handle building service through a base package and an a la carte menu. The base rate covers round-the-clock security, porter, valet and bellboy staff, club lounge personnel, the lobby coffee machine, lounge internet, cleaning and utilities for all common areas, administrative support and building insurance including common premises. By advance booking, residents will be able to reserve a Rolls-Royce with a driver, an Italian Riva motor boat with a captain and a golf cart with a driver for trips around the island, including to the marina, a shopping centre or a golf course. The concierge will coordinate apartment cleaning, laundry and dry cleaning, shopping at Dubai Waterfront Market, pet care and walking, childcare, car washing, detailing and refuelling, round-the-clock urgent repairs and a home care package for absences. Service charges are 269.1 AED per m² a year.
