Downtown Design (Waterfront in Dubai Design District (D3) Stand B14

‘Interiors from Spain’ returns to Downtown Design 2024 with an immersive experience designed and commissioned by B8 Architecture, an award-winning Spanish studio based in Dubai. 

At the heart of the installation lies the concept of the Andalusian Patio, a serene courtyard inspired by Spanish architecture. Surrounding this oasis, individual alcoves are designated for each brand, fostering intimacy and showcasing their unique offerings. The facade incorporates arched entrances, reminiscent of Spanish plazas, embellished with intricate tilework and decorative motifs. The central courtyard features a pond and a spectacular palm, evoking the tranquil ambiance of a Spanish garden.

Kristina Brâteng, CEO and Founder of B8 Architecture, has envisioned «El Patio» to immerse visitors in the beauty of Spanish culture while providing a platform for ten leading brands to shine. APE Grupo and Porcelanosa contribute ceramic tilework for the floors and curved walls; Vibia and Lladró light up the space with a blend of contemporary design and craftsmanship; POINT and iSiMAR furnish the courtyard with unique outdoor pieces; Ondarreta and esPattio offer comfort and innovation for the indoor alcoves; Inbani showcases its bath products, and RS Barcelona adds a playful touch, capturing the essence of the Spanish way of life.
