Dubai Silicon Oasis The Kaawar family invite us into their picture-perfect property Words by Hazel Plush; images by Nasir Rauf

For Liz Kaawar, the move to a new-build villa in Dubai Silicon Oasis offered the chance to take up the ultimate interior design challenge. Two years later, Liz’s vision has come true – and her pride is clear. “I’ve just kept going: if you do that, you’ll always find what you’re looking for,” she says with a smile. “It was incredibly daunting to walk in here and see an empty house – everything you see here is new. When we first moved in my husband was working so hard and the children were little, so I had to do it myself. I’ve bought things from all over the city – there is something from everywhere in this house!” April 2013

When Liz moved in, with her husband Georges and children Claudia and Carla, the challenge was to find furniture that suited her style. “I had an idea of the design I wanted – an elegant, serene look – and I was looking for contemporary dark wood furniture with silver accents. There was nothing to be found, so eventually I

‘It was very daunting to walk into an empty house – everything you see is new...’

decided to have a selection of furniture commissioned.” Liz met interior design consultant Sharon Conneely-Donaldson, and the pair drew up designs for a sofa and dining set to match Liz’s taste. Since then, Liz has also worked with Wray Backus, an artist who shares Liz’s Irish roots, who she commissioned to produce a series of bespoke pieces to complement the villa’s main silver and blue colour scheme. “Georges and I didn’t imagine that the results would be so good; we are really pleased with everything. It’s great to work with local designers and craftspeople.”

Handily, Georges is managing director of Taps & More, a specialist in bathroom and kitchen faucets – so the couple have upgraded all of the villa’s fittings too. The overall result is high-quality, with a homely touch that only care and attention to detail can bestow. In addition to bespoke works, Liz has looked to interior design shops and boutiques galore – “I still find it difficult to resist them while I’m shopping, it’s a hard habit to break after two years!” Now, however, Liz has the time to sit back and enjoy her creation – and the familyfriendly lifestyle that Dubai Silicon Oasis can offer. “When we bought the house, we delayed moving in because it was so quiet, but now there’s a lovely community atmosphere. When Spinneys opened, we made the move, and we’ve enjoyed watching the area become more vibrant.” With both Carla and Claudia in school just 20 minutes away, it’s a great location for the morning commute, and the

‘I still find it hard to resist interior design shops – it’s a hard habit to break after two years!’ neighbourhood amenities are perfect for the girls. “We have three pools in the compound and a tennis court nearby,” says Liz. “We mix with the neighbours a lot – the kids all go to school together, so there’s a great social element because of that. It’s a safe, friendly environment for them to play in.” Liz, a keen walker, often takes to the landscaped tracks that run around the community, and the whole family love the villa’s spacious garden and swimming pool. “We often have friends round for barbecues at the weekend; we’ve has some big parties in the garden, too – you can easily host up to 120 people out there. Of course, when we first moved in the garden was just a sandpit, so it has been another labour of love to get it looking great.” With results this good, would Liz ever be tempted to take on another villa? “I don’t know!” she laughs. “I have enjoyed the process – every project has its frustrations, of course, but on the whole it has been fun. There is a huge sense of enjoyment in the process – it’s great when you finally find a house that you want.”

Dubai Silicon Oasis

Your need-to-know guide to what’s in and around the area

Renting & buying

Leisure time

Shopping & eating

Schooling

From humble three-bedroom properties to lavish fivebedroom abodes, Dubai Silicon Oasis certainly doesn’t scrimp on choice. Being in a Free Zone Authority, villas are available for both rent and purchase, and prices reflect the space, layout and views on offer. The area consists of two gated communities: Cedre Villas and Semmer Villas. The former boasts 1047 properties with three to five bedrooms in a range of styles, while the latter has 560 luxurious three-bedroom builds. Silicon Residences II offers one- to three-bedroom apartments too – perfect for couples and families looking for great value.

All areas have a full range of amenities – kids will love the swimming pools, sports courts and community centres. Shared areas benefit from extensive landscaping, so there’s always somewhere leafy for the children to hang out, and most properties are within walking distance of the retail areas. You’ll find hair and beauty salons, gyms, and a running track nearby – and, if you want to venture further afield, easy road links to the city are close by too (The Dubai Mall is a mere 15-minute drive away). Although you’ll need a car to get around, Silicon Oasis has a taxi hub, so you won’t have to wait long for a lift.

The list of amenities in the Semmer and Cedre shopping centres is lengthy: two Spinneys, a Choithram and Green Park Supermarket cater for all your groceries needs, plus you’ll find pharmacies, banks, laundrettes and coffee houses nearby. For eating-out, there’s a couple of choices if you don’t fancy venturing far: Al Arrab Restaurant (04 326 4949) and Bedouinn’s Bistro (04 382 1555) are handy choices. For lighter bites, you’ll find Costa Coffee and Subway in the community centres, and the Dubai Silicon Oasis neighbourhood website (siliconoasis.org) often lists promotions at eateries and delivery services nearby.

Handily for the vast number of families that call the area home, Dubai Silicon Oasis features many nearby schools and education institutions – and the road links to Emirates Road and Al Awir Road will ensure that every morning commute is a breeze. Wellestablished options for all ages include: Dubai English Speaking School (British Curriculum, Reception to Year 6, dessdubai. com); Repton School Dubai (British Curriculum, Nursery to Year 13, reptondubai.org); and GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis (British Curriculum, Foundation Stage to Year 10, gemswellingtonacademydso.com).

Market update

Independent Finance’s general manager Sam Wani reveals the latest movements in mortgages

Dubai was one of the three best performing real estate markets in the world last year. The property prices ranged between US$520 and US$580 per square foot. On the other hand, prime real estate cost between US$5,350 and US$5,920 per square foot in Monaco during the same period. Among 20 of the world’s costliest property markets, Dubai was positioned on 19th rank, only ahead of Cape Town. An investment of $1million can expect to buy a luxury Dubai villa covering around 168 sq.m. But $1 million in Monaco can buy just 16 sq.m. In fact, while you can get 23 sq.m for your million dollars in London, 44 sq.m in Sydney or 73 sq.m in Los Angeles, very few markets can match Dubai for its value; only in Cape Town will you get more bang for your buck, with 172 sq.m for US$1 million.

The price of luxury real estate increased at a healthy rate of 20% in Dubai and Bali. Meanwhile, market prices in Jakarta catapulted by 38%, highest among the 80 global destinations. Property prices in Monaco rose by 2%, while Hong Kong and London were tied at an increase of 8.7%. However, prices fell in Geneva (6%), Paris (4%), Moscow (2.3%) and New York (1.4%). Lease rates for three-bed villa rents remained stable between AED250,000 and AED310,000 pa. The cost of leasing a three-bed villa in Arabian Ranches saw a 22% jump with an average lease of AED190,000. The prices of these villas rose by 20% averaging AED2.8 million. Four-bed units rose 12.5% to range between AED170,000 and AED270,000 p/a. Average prices are AED3.5 million. Four-bed villas in Jumeirah

Islands are currently available for AED280,000 to AED330,000 p/a, while three-bed units are being leased for AED240,000 to AED300,000 p/a both registering a jump of 6.4%. Average prices range about AED4.5 million. One-bed villas in Jumeirah Village Triangle are leased at between AED70,000 and AED90,000 p/a. The average price has risen to AED1.3 million. 5,400 villas are expected to be delivered in 2013, taking the total stock to 60,400. Dubai’s real estate market will get another major shot in the arm when the $1-billion Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD)-Brookfield Dubai Real Estate Fund gets underway. The fund, once formed, will pursue opportunities in the Dubai real estate sector with a particular focus on development opportunities. April 2013

Adam Stockley, Residential Consultant

Emirates Living remains a stronghold for the real estate market in Dubai, as most of the communities have been completed. All are set to offer a good return on investment and a good standard of living. Rents are still a little volatile and there has been increases in some areas such as Springs Lakes and Meadows, but the higher the quality of property the higher the demand. The rents for less wellmaintained units or those completed to lesser specifications have seen a decline. As Emirates Living is dominated by villa communities it will always attract the expat family-orientated tenant, and as such will give a stable return for investors. April 2013

Asal Abedi, Residential Consultant

Downtown has become the most prestigious square kilometre of land in Dubai, going from strength to strength especially over the past year. Burj Khalifa may be the centre of attraction, but residents continue to flock to the other buildings available in the area. The last year has seen new towers take shape, and a few more towers are expected to be handed over in the coming months. The demand for rental properties is quite high in Downtown, so the new supply should not affect leasing prices. Demand in this area shows no signs of cooling down yet and with all of the retail shops that have recently been added to the Boulevard, investors and end users will continue to be attracted to this prestigious location. Property prices change frequently. Please visit bhomes.com for the most up-to-date pricing

My style

5 of the best... lights

Essential interiors inspiration – whatever your taste My wife and I have two kids and a dog; you can’t live in a show home with all that! It’s beautiful, it’s comfortable; I want people to come in and feel welcomed – that’s what I strive for. I’m always trying to anticipate trends, looking for inspiration in so many different areas, and it all ends up in a design soup. And of course, I take that home with me – my house is a bit of a guinea pig, where I try out ideas, and it can be a final resting place for items I’ve bought which haven’t worked.

John McLennan The CEO of Indigo Living loves relaxed, functional design with a great story behind it home for me is an apartment in hong Kong. My style is relaxed, welcoming and comfortable. It’s slightly tailored, with a bit of sophistication. It’s welltravelled, too, with different components from all of the places I have visited.

Brighten up your interiors

our dining table is a huge old teak piece – it’s three metres long, a couple of hundred years old. It’s got carvings in it, initials, scratches… It has a history all of its own. When you look at it, you wonder what its story is.

‘I take my work home with me – my house is a guinea pig, where I try out ideas’ When my wife and I travel, we always like to buy one piece from wherever we go. We were in China in the early ’90s, and met some struggling artists selling their work. I didn’t really like anything but we felt we should buy something, so we chose a piece and it has been on our wall for 20 years now. We’ve grown to love it, and we found out a few years ago that the artist is now really famous. We would never sell it – we just love it for its story. That’s why it’s so special. indigo-living.com

Royal Furniture

Fun study space

Girlie retreat

If your clan need some encouragement to get stuck into their homework, make the prospect more appealing by designing a grown-up study space. With draws, a desk and deep shelves for them to file their work, this sturdy set by Royal Furniture (above, royalfurniture.ae) has plenty of space for little learners. Keep accessories bright, and encourage kids to decide what goes where – if they feel like the space is theirs, they’ll be more likely to make the most of it. Pin boards are perfect for displaying essential notes, and some brightly coloured boxes will keep pens and pencils under wraps. Invest in an office chair that can be adjusted as kids grow, and a rug to keep feet off cold tiles. Lastly, ensure that interiors are light and airy: paint walls with vibrant colours, and use lamps to keep the space well-lit: essential if you can inspire your older kids to study past bedtime...

Indulge your little princess with a pinkperfect bedroom to suit her girlie ways. When it comes to accessories, nothing is too pink or flowery, but keep furniture neutral to ensure it’ll last into her teenage years. This hard-wearing set from Pottery Barn Kids (left, potterybarnkids.me), makes an excellent base. Look to Pottery Barn Kids for cosy comforters and lovely linens, too: mix and match hues, patterns and textures for a vibrant look. If your little girl loves art and craft, create bright panels by gluing sheets of fabric or paper to wooden boards and hanging them on walls. It’s a cheap way to brighten interiors – and, more importantly, they can be updated easily when she discovers boy bands... For now, though, you can’t go wrong with butterfly motifs, flowery patterns, sparkly light fittings and a big fluffy rug for play time.

Grown-up den When little ones aren’t so little, it can be hard to leave those pink trimmings and soft toys behind, but sporty types will love this stylish furniture set from Çilek (right, cilek.com). Featuring leather- and woodtrimmed wardrobes, dressers and beds, it’s hard-wearing and timeless – and some nifty designs will save some storage space too. The panel under this bed pulls out to reveal another mattress inside – a handy touch for sleepovers. Accessorise with neutralcoloured touches for a grownup look: a simple beige and chocolate palette looks great, and will work perfectly with wooden accents. Avoid the dingy teenage bedroom effect by installing light curtains, plenty of lamps, and enough storage space to keep clutter out of the way. Display art and certificates in frames, and splash out on a robust rug.

Home Centre

If space is tight, maximise your kiddies’ bedroom space with a cute bunk-bed set: they’ll love the idea of buddying up, and they’ll have more room for play time too. Try this cool set from Home Centre (left, homecentrestores.com), with ingenious pull-out storage space and a sturdy metal ladder. Keep the style bright and colourful with dazzling paint, and apply patterned wall stickers from mumzworld.com – we love the Mickey & Friends range. To personalise the bunks, let little ones choose their own bed linen, and keep cuddly treasures close on bed-side shelves. Individual lamps for bedtime reading are essential, and overbed nets will maximise privacy too (why not personalise them with home made bunting?) After play, hide toys away in themed boxes to keep the room clutterfree: kids will love this sociable space, although they may have to flip coins for the top bunk...

‘We’re moving from an apartment to a villa, but while I think we should use a removal company, my husband wants to save the cash. Do you have any advice?’ – Jane, Dubai Marina do it yourself Debajyoti Das, home owner, Arabian Ranches

get the professionAls in Nahaseer Mubarak Naushad, managing director, Pack 2 Go

“If you haven’t got a vast amount of things to shift, it can be simpler to do it yourself – with the help of a hired van, of course. You’ll find it easier to keep track of your belongings, and it’s cheaper too. Stock up on some essential items: big cardboard boxes (make sure they’re sturdy to keep heavier items safe), scissors, parcel tape and marker pens. Don’t put more weight into the boxes than you can comfortably lift, and label every container with the contents and room from which they were taken. This will ease the unpacking process. Doing the shifting yourself will allow you to do some clearing out too: go through wardrobes and cupboards with a fine tooth comb, and donate or sell whatever you don’t need. With some careful planning, you can get some cash for unwanted furniture on dubizzle.com – do this a few weeks before the move, though, to reduce hassle. If you have kids, pack them off to friends for the day, or get older children involved – sweets and treats make a handy incentive...”

“Thorough planning is essential to ensure that your possessions are handled with care. Once you entrust the task to specialists, the entire responsibility will rest upon them to move the goods. The right tools, transportation, trucks and warehouses for storage will enable the packer to deliver your goods in a safe and secure manner. Fragile items are wrapped up thoroughly to prevent breakage, and everything is labelled clearly. Only professional movers are capable of providing their clients with such an exceptional service. And who can put a price on peace of mind? Hiring the services of a professional moving company is the only way to enjoy a stress-free relocation, leaving you to focus on other important matters. Take some time to make enquiries about the validity of the moving company’s address, and the experience of their estimators and packers. Do not hesitate to ask for references before you make that crucial decision of entrusting your valuable belongings to the movers.” pack2go.ae

Japanese bites

Fresh from the world-famous kitchens of Nobu, these elegant Asian recipes will wow dinner guests Nobu: it’s a name synonymous with pristine Japanese cuisine. Think sophisticated flavours, faultless ingredients, and a menu brimming with exotic, adventurous creations. Head to the restaurant at Atlantis, The Palm, to experience the crème de la crème of Japanese hospitality – it’s a treat for your tastebuds and a spectacle in its own right. Adventurous cooks will be itching to try their hand at recreating the dishes – and we’ve got the inside tips, right from chef de cuisine Herve Courtot himself,

BLACK COD DEN MISO Serves 2 • • • •

500g cod 1 bambou leaf 1 lemon 2 hajikamie ginger For the saikyo miso: • 100ml mirin • 150g sugar • 300g white miso paste

1. About 2 days ahead make the saikyo miso: in heavy-based non-reactive saucepan, bring the mirin to the boil, and continue to boil for 2-3 minutes.

2. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the sugar until it has dissolved, then slowly mix in the miso paste, a little at a time. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly so as not to let the mixture burn, for 10-15 minutes 3. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps, allow to cool, and chill. 4. Place the fish in a non-reactive container, pour a good splash of the saikyo miso over each fillet, and leave to marinate for one day in the fridge. 5. When cooking the fish, preheat the hot grill or oven to 200°c. Place the fillets on the grill pan or on a non-stick baking sheet and cook under the grill or in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning once if grilling, until it is cooked through and golden brown on the outside. 6. Place on a serving dish and dress the plate with a bamboo leaf, lemon and hajikamie and the saikyo miso. April 2013

who has worked at the restaurant since its opened in 2008. “Almost anything can inspire me, not always food related,” says the chef. “Sometimes you see something in nature, for example, and it reminds you of a dish – then you go back into the kitchen and create something new. Japanese cuisine is very healthy and can be fun once you understand it – it’s essential to use fresh ingredients, and always keep staples like soy sauce to hand.” atlantisthepalm.com

Plunge the filet into iced water to stop cooking any further, then shake off the excess water. 3. Pour the matsuhisa dressing onto the plate.

Roll each slice of tuna into a cylinder and place them in a petal-like pattern around the vegetables in the centre.
