In the gleaming skyline of Dubai, where architectural marvels reach toward the heavens, interior spaces demand equal brilliance. Antonovich Group, renowned for their modern interior design villa Dubai expertise, has expanded their mastery to the luxury apartment sector, delivering bespoke residential experiences that redefine vertical living. Their recent apartment project in Downtown Dubai showcases the firm's exceptional ability to translate the grandeur of villa design into more compact yet equally sophisticated urban spaces. The residence received a comprehensive transformation that eliminated standard apartment constraints through innovative spatial reconfiguration and custom architectural interventions. "Luxury apartment design requires a different approach than villa interiors," explains Antonovich Group's design director. "We focus on creating the perception of expanded space while maintaining the intimate comfort that makes an apartment feel like home." The company's signature approach begins with architectural enhancement—removing non-essential walls, raising ceiling heights where structurally possible, and installing floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize natural light and panoramic views. These fundamental changes create the canvas upon which Antonovich Group applies their design artistry. What truly distinguishes their apartment projects is the attention to bespoke elements. Rather than relying on standard solutions for furnishing apartment Dubai residences, Antonovich Group creates custom pieces scaled precisely for each space. From built-in seating that maximizes floor area to multifunctional furnishings that adapt to different needs, every element serves both aesthetic and practical purposes. Materials play a crucial role in their apartment designs, with selections that would typically be found in the most exclusive modern interior design villa Dubai projects. Italian marble, exotic woods, bronze accents, and artisanal glass create a rich sensory experience that elevates the entire residence.

This project features a handcrafted cedar barrel sauna with a panoramic front window and integrated porch, installed as a complete outdoor wellness setup. The sauna is built from solid Western Red Cedar and equipped with a wood-burning sauna stove capable of reaching temperatures of up to 194°F, providing a traditional and authentic sauna experience. Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, mold, and decay, making it one of the most durable wood species for long-term outdoor use. The solid cedar construction remains stable through seasonal temperature changes and requires only simple and occasional maintenance. The interior typically needs only basic cleaning and ventilation, while the exterior can be treated with standard wood oils if desired. The front porch provides a convenient entry area and a comfortable space for cooling down between sauna sessions. This project can also be expanded into a complete Fire & Ice setup by pairing the sauna with a cedar hot tub or cold plunge for contrast therapy.

With a location right in the heart of vibrant Madison New Jersey, this house has a prime location in a charming and desirable neighborhood. The new owners’ dream for a Shingle Style house more typical of the size and style of other houses in the neighborhood was challenged by the fact that the building coverage was already maxed for the property. Any increases would have to be done within the existing footprint. Studio 1200 was able to provide a more substantial and functional living experience for the family by adding one story and reconfiguring the first floor to create a better flow. A new kitchen and dining room were created and relocated to rear of the house, resulting in an easy egress to the private patio and backyard. A new mudroom, spare bedroom, powder room, office and covered porch completed the modern layout of the first floor, all within the same original footprint. The addition of a fireplace to the covered porch meant this space can be used practically year-round. The second floor also received an upgrade through redesign, introducing a special master suite with 2 separate walk-in closets as well as a bathroom with a dramatic soaking tub. Completing the second floor are three more bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room. Atop it all is an attic, providing storage space that was not in the original home’s design.

We began by digging the footings for the deck and sunroom; however, we immediately ran into a problem. The back of the lot was built on fill dirt, which meant the structure would need extra support. Fortunately for the customer, with over 20 years of experience in the industry and having dealt with this type of problem before, we were able to contact our structural engineer who devised a plan to take care of the issue. Therefore, what would have been a large problem turned into a simple time delay with some additional cost requirements. To fix the situation, we would up having to dig 12-foot-deep footings with an excavator before adding some additional helical piers for the deck posts and sunroom foundation (FYI – typical footing depth is two feet). Since the customer understood that this was an unexpected situation, we created a change order to cover the extra cost. Still, it’s important to note that the very nature of construction means that hidden situations may occur, so it’s always wise for customers to have contingency plans in place before work on the home begins. In the end, we finished on time and within the homeowners budget, and they were thrilled with the quality of our work.
