D in 2004 by Cariane Kapswarah-Hoffie, Insignia Design Consulting caters for the individual needs of a sophisticated clientele from the UAE and Europe. Cariane’s design signature of luxury, glam and sparkle is a fusion of classic elegance and modern contemporary. The award-winning Private Penthouse at Le Reve Tower – Dubai is in the heart of the Dubai Marina district. Within one of the area’s most prestigious buildings, the apartment has a panoramic sea view and an ideal setting. The client’s brief was to transform it into an elegant home able to serve multiple purposes. First and foremost it was to be a family home; secondly it needed to be suitable for entertaining friends; and thirdly it had to host official functions.
Merging rooms, enlarging passages and arches created airy spaces while replacing balcony doors with full height sliding sky windows gave an outdoor feeling to an indoor space. Soft shapes and light colours were chosen to allow meticulous design features to stand out. The wave-shaped crystal chandelier installation with its complementing room divider and the cut-to-size statuario marble are excellent examples. Custommade furniture optimises the space while the addition of a bubble-shaped seawater aquarium in the children’s playroom add life to the inland facing side of the apartment. These and many other elements unite the inspiration of the sea and the varied requirements of a family.
