BVLGARI Ocean Mansions is a collection of eight ultra-exclusive luxury homes designed by Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, which delicately clasp the northern shore of Jumeirah Bay Island over the shimmering waters of the Arabian Gulf. The five-bedroom mansions give the illusion of floating over the edge of the island on the seaward side and have a lush garden setting adjacent to the entrance, evoking the Mediterranean roots and style of the BVLGARI brand. Sophisticated architectural elements emphasise the effect of continuity with the surrounding seascape, while the structure itself appears suspended between the water and the sky, highlighting the dramatic transformation from land to sea.

The BVLGARI Ocean Mansions seamlessly blend with the coastal surroundings. The design and finishing of the facades emphasises the organic relationship with the water and sky. The ground floor balcony mirrors the large overhang of the stone porcelain clad roof, which defines the interior and exterior space. The edges of the roof and balcony reduce to a sharp edge and accentuate an almost weightless quality to the mansion. The vertical surfaces which are not treated in full height glass are clad in a stone finished porcelain, mirroring the finish of the underside of the roof. Fine bronze finished profiles delicately draw the outline of the façade and the window openings. The signature feature of the BVLGARI Ocean Mansions’ façades is the glazed terracotta screen which shades the luxury homes. The juxtaposition of the various forms in the screen creates ever-changing patterns of light and shade on the enclosed balcony and interior spaces. Above all else the BVLGARI Ocean Mansions stand for a way of living life – timeless, joyous and luxurious.
