Come with us to the United Arab Emirates, as we fly around the exteriors of five spectacular modern luxury villa visualisations by Ruslan Latypov. These are ultra contemporary creations with sharp angular architecture, huge expanses of glass that showcase luxurious interior living spaces, and massive pool terraces filled with outdoor living spaces. It’s the grand exterior of these homes that pulls our focus, worship and envy for today. We’re going to tour stunning facades with chamfered overhangs under atmospheric perimeter lighting, palatial home entryways with towering front doors, and all of the glory that unfolds in the rear of these properties over exterior zoning for family, fun and entertaining.
