This residence for a young entrepreneur in Abu Dhabi is an architectural homage to a life of vitality, ambition, and balance.

The house is thoughtfully designed around the client’s passion for wellness, making the gym and the indoor pool the centerpieces of the home, both physically and symbolically.

Every detail within the architecture is meticulously crafted to support an active, health-focused lifestyle.

The most dominant feature of the house is a striking, sculpted mass that holds the gym and indoor pool, forming the heart of the design. This stone structure shifts elegantly, allowing skylights to pierce through, creating dynamic light patterns that change throughout the day.

These beams of natural light animate the space, transforming the training area into an uplifting and energizing environment.

Positioned to maximize interaction and openness, the gym extends itself seamlessly over the pool, inviting an integrated experience of movement, wellness, and relaxation.

Beyond the gym and pool, the rest of the house is designed to balance connectivity with privacy, honoring the traditional Emarati distinction between public and private spaces. Public areas, like the living and dining rooms, flow naturally from one another, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings, while private family quarters are secluded for intimacy and reflection. Clean lines and carefully chosen materials lend the interiors a sense of understated elegance, while expansive windows frame views of the garden, filling the home with light.

The result is a residence that reflects both the vitality of an active lifestyle and the serenity of a private retreat—a true sanctuary for an ambitious, health-focused young entrepreneur.
