LW Design Group to create mixed-use development on The World

THE WORLD: LW Design Group revealed in December that it will be responsible for the design of Aquitainia, a mixed-use project on The World. The development is the latest launch from Dubai’s Select Property and will be situated on the France and Spain islands.

A collaborative effort from LW Design Group’s architecture and interior design divisions, Aqui-tainia will incorporate a 75-room hotel and spa, along with water homes and serviced apartments.

In keeping with the project’s European-themed locality, the design concept will incorporate contemporary Mediterranean elements. “Select Properties approached us to create the design concept for Aquitainia as LW Design Group offers holistic architecture and interiors with a European background and innate style, which is well suited to this particular project,” said Morten Hansen, CEO of LW Design Group.

“We have devised a minimalist design, with white rendered buildings that fuse indoor and outdoor living,” added Colin Doyle, managing partner of LW Design Group Architecture. “Timber sundecks with jacuzzis and plunge pools on the rooftops allow residents to enjoy the unique locale of Aquitainia. Double height rooms and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light and create an airy spacious feel to the water homes,” he added.

The project is due in 2012.
