The first renderings of the Karl Lagerfeld Villas by Taraf have been unveiled. 

The exclusive residential community of villas marks a groundbreaking collaboration between the international luxury brand and the regional real estate leaders.

Pier Paolo, the CEO of Karl Lagerfeld commented on the exciting new project saying that “Karl was deeply fascinated and inspired by architecture…Now his passion for innovative design lives on through this incredible property in Dubai, where history and modernity converge. Celebrating this duality, homeowners and investors have an exclusive opportunity to access Karl’s unique vision of luxury living, with a new way to explore and experience his world.”  

Low Ping, Group CEO of Yas Holding, Taraf’s parent company, added that the group was “thrilled” with the collaboration. “ [It] goes beyond creating exclusive villas. It is crafting experiences and spaces that epitomise elegance and sophistication. Our mission at Taraf is to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and with these Karl Lagerfeld-designed villas, we are proud to bring this extraordinary vision to life, offering our clients not just a residence, but a masterpiece of design and luxury,” she said.

Inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s fascination with the 18th century, a period marked by intellectual curiosity and creative passion, the project mirrors the discerning elegance of the façade at the Karl Lagerfeld headquarters at 21 Rue St Guillaume, Saint-Germain-des-Pres, Paris. The remarkable residence was meticulously selected by Karl himself in the centre of his favourite neighbourhood on the scenic left bank.

Blending fashion and design, a runway is a part of the architectural tapestry seamlessly connecting the new villas to the clubhouse and the luxurious surroundings, whilst highlighting the alluring Burj Khalifa views.

 Comprising 51 residences each of which features 5 to 7 bedrooms, property sizes range from 721 square metres (sqm) to 1790 sqm.  Residents have the opportunity to personalise their properties by choosing between two distinct design options for the facade: Soft Modern and Urban Modern. Each facade is married with the grand entrance, reminiscent of the Maison’s 18th-century charms, guiding residents towards a spiralling staircase, while sunlight reflections from the swimming pool illuminate striking feature windows.

There will also be a fabulous Karl Lagerfeld Community Clubhouse, where residents can access all areas of the Parisian-inspired interiors featuring parquet, and marble, with exclusive interior pieces designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The wellness deck within the sumptuous residential area also comes with fabulous views of Dubai’s panoramic skyline. Residents can work out, swim in the pool, and enjoy access to a private aqua-blue crystal lagoon. Luscious green areas inspire casual strolls, bringing nature to the doorstep.
