The idea

Stone, timber and room to gather.

The Earthstone is a 2,000 m² private residence in Umm Al Quwain, designed around a grand majlis — a long, double-height room of travertine and timber with arched niches and sculptural chandeliers.

Reception and dining spaces open to full-height glazing, a travertine stair hall links the floors, and a palette of honed stone, oak and soft green carries through to the washrooms, the gym and the family rooms. The project also includes bespoke furniture: low tables carved from stone and inlaid with timber.
