Drew Gilbert's Albadoor Villa, a striking private residence in Nadd Al Shiba, Dubai, has been honored with the Silver A' Design Award 2025 for its bold geometry, dynamic form, and innovative use of materials, setting a new benchmark in luxury architecture and sustainable design.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Albadoor Villa, designed by acclaimed architect Drew Gilbert, has captured international attention by winning the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure category for 2025. Located in the heart of Nadd Al Shiba, Dubai, this 10,000-square-foot private residence stands as a testament to the power of precision, dynamism, and architectural innovation. The villa's sharp, clean lines and sculptural massing create a visually arresting presence, inspired by the crisp movement and striking aesthetics of high-performance machines.
What sets Albadoor Villa apart is its masterful interplay of bold geometry and refined elegance. The design leverages advanced parametric modeling and BIM workflows to achieve seamless integration of materials and maximize spatial efficiency. Bronze accents and pristine surfaces reflect light dynamically, giving the facade a sense of constant motion and energy. The villa's strategic voids and crisp lines generate a rhythmic play of light and shadow, transforming its character throughout the day and reinforcing its sporty yet sophisticated identity.
From conception to realization, Albadoor Villa exemplifies cutting-edge construction and sustainability. Prefabrication techniques, high-precision formwork, and GFRC panels ensure both material efficiency and architectural purity. Integrated smart home systems, solar panels, and climate-responsive features such as thick thermal mass walls contribute to the villa's energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. The project's two-year journey was marked by overcoming significant challenges in maintaining construction precision while achieving a bold, high-performance aesthetic, ultimately resulting in a residence that redefines luxury living in Dubai.
The Silver A' Design Award recognizes Albadoor Villa's outstanding expertise, technical innovation, and artistic excellence. Drew Gilbert's achievement not only elevates the standard for private residences in the region but also highlights the importance of sustainable, forward-thinking design in shaping the future of urban living.
