Monsella Villa by ISTO, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Chief architect at ISTO studio Bogdan Kostelnyi depicts how architecture can reflect the bionic shapes. A vivid example of this is 1 210 sq.m. Monsella villa on the Pearl Jumeirah Island in Dubai, where monumental and futuristic architecture reflects the imitation of tulip petals as the primary idea. The villa has high ceilings and, accordingly, huge panoramic windows overlooking the exterior with an accent tree and a swimming pool with a relaxation area. The entrance area of the villa is surrounded by water with spotlights inside to create the effect of shiny gemstones that seem to be lying on the bottom.
