Visionnaire, once more in Doha, in the urbanized desert
just outside the city, in a compound of 10 villas. The theme is the
personalization and upgrading of public and reception areas of the
bigger private villas - Main Majlis, Clubhouse, Daily Villa and Villa 4.
From the first inspection, the need to go beyond the mere placing
of furniture was clear. This time the maison’s style had to find a new
balance between its own lexicon and the distinctive features of the
“genius loci”. The skillful use of multi-colored marble, Emperador
Light, Rosso Francia and Azul Macaubas, creates Byzantine-style lines
and backgrounds, and forms the basis for the Visionnaire boiseries
in leather, glass and lacquered woods that line the living and dining
rooms. Roomy, enveloping seating provided by the princely “Evelake”
armchairs in warm shades of zebrano, welcome guests, surrounded
by works of art and antique carpets. Generously-sized tables with tops
in Onyx, Frappuccino, Pink Quartz and Macaubas, with their myriad
colors, are the perfect foil for the kaleidoscopic reflections of the crystal
chandeliers set in the suspended ceilings. Everything is personalized
following the line of the best “Visionnaire tailor-made”: from entrance
doors to internal doors, door handles, household linen, audio-video
equipment and walk-in closets, to create a “total work of art”.
