You won’t believe what you’ll get for the price of this three-bedroom apartment in the Green Community. This dream home comes with en-suite bathrooms, high ceilings throughout, a spacious living and dining room, a family room and two covered parking spaces. There’s also a fully-equipped kitchen with its own storage room, and a laundry area with a washer and dryer. However, its most amazing feature is by far its serene views of a glimmering lake. Each of its three bedrooms looks out across the sparkling waters, while the dining area opens onto an incredible patio, which stretches through the garden. In the community, meanwhile, you’ll find shared pools and tennis courts, green lawns, and gain easy access to grocery stores and restaurants at its shopping area, The Market. Plus, there’s the Courtyard by Marriot hotel just around the corner. What more could you need?

Love Thy Neighbourhood:
Green Community West
Homeowner Lisa Brightwell lets us into her four-bedroom bungalow, and tells us why her residence in this quiet cul-de-sac was well worth the investment... Images by Nasir Rauf
December 2011
Cover Feature
What first attracted you to this area? I like the fact it’s quiet, and it does what it says on the tin: its green and a community. Plus there’s a really nice park with waterfalls, which makes for a lovely jog or walk. My partner and I wanted a villa and the space that comes with it. The only difference in each of these is that they are different colours and some of them have Roman-esque columns at the front, while some of them have concrete columns. Why did you decide to buy here? Generally, I like to buy things as an investment. Since the market crashed, houses are a lot more affordable. Two years ago, when we bought, this place was very accessible to us. The good thing about these bungalows and villas is that they are all the same layout, and they’re very popular; before I bought this one I got gazumped seven times. It was really difficult to actually secure one, and, even when we did, we realised that people still want to buy them, which is encouraging. Plus, you get a lot for your money – it’s nearly twice the size of properties at The Springs but the prices are similar and these villas are brand new. What advice would you give to others looking to buy a property in Dubai? Shop around for mortgages; there are so
15
many different deals these days. When I bought, interest rates were very high and it was very difficult to get mortgages, whereas now the market has opened up a lot more and you can get interest rates for as little as 4.9 per cent, or even lower in some banks. It’s more competitive now, so you can find more deals. What I learned as well, is that in an area like the Green Community, it [buying] is very popular. Often there are multiple agents looking after the same house, and you find that you’re trying to pitch on a house against 12 other people, all through different agencies. It comes down to the relationship between the owner of the house and the agency, so it’s good to choose a good agency such as Better Homes. I ended up trying to pitch twice for the same house, it was quite stressful. I didn’t believe it was ours until I physically got the keys. What kinds of people do you find usually live here? It’s a real mix, which is really nice. During different festivities, such as Diwali, Eid and Christmas, you will see certain households celebrating. For example, the Americans really overdo the Halloween festival – they decorate their houses with skeletons, coffins and all sorts of funny things – and you can tell when it is Diwali because certain houses are beautifully lit.

Tell us about your interiors – how did you put the finished look together? I like natural colours and a relaxing ambiance. However, I have experimented this time around in my kitchen with red. I really looked around for what I wanted, and the pieces in this house are pieces I’d keep for somewhere else. It’s taken me two years to acquire them all because I’ve waited until I found the right look. Most items come from THE One, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn and IKEA – it’s great that there are so many places to choose from now. What’s your favourite piece in the house? I love my four-poster bed from THE One. I had the idea to create a beachy, relaxing, tranquil look, so you feel like you’re on holiday or in some kind of Bahamas-style setting. But, I was conscious of the fact it’s quite feminine, so I tried to tone it down for my partner and put a mustard colour and masculine clock on the wall. I also love my paintings in the front room (by Helen Abbas); I bought them in Gallery One. It took me a long time to find this artwork, which is abstract and Arabesque. The good thing is that, one day when I move who knows where, I’ve got two really nice pieces that show my time in Dubai. In the future, when I’m living in Singapore, Spain or France people will ask where it came from – it’s a talking piece. December 2011
Overall, are there any drawbacks to living here? That people think the area’s further away than it actually is. From the Marina it’s 10 minutes, and from my work at Emaar it’s about 20 minutes – the reality is it’s really not far. And, if you use Emirates Road, you can go downtown to The Dubai Mall in less than 30 minutes and go shopping. I have a gym membership with Hayya at The Lakes, too, and I can get there and back home in 15 minutes. When I used to live in London, I used to commute for an hour and a half each way, so it’s nothing. How do you spend your leisure time in the area? I love going to the gym and swimming or, if I’m honest, I love being at home and just watching TV. I also love to sit in the garden and read and I have the odd day out at the local spa. What kinds of amenities do you have within easy reach? There’s a Choithrams and a Spinney’s, a nail bar called N.Bar, a hair salon called Hair Lounge, banks and pharmacies. There’s also the peaceful Courtyard by the Marriott Hotel Dubai only 300 metres away from our house – my partner and I often visit the lounge there of an evening. There are
‘I had the idea to create a beachy, relaxing, tranquil look, so you feel like you’re on holiday...’
also restaurants in that hotel, including an Italian, Arabic and Chinese. Or, not far from here, there’s a fish and chip shop, a McDonalds and a Premier Inn with a lounge that holds quizzes and karaoke sessions. Right opposite there’s also a really lovely pool; it’s huge and hardly anyone uses it because many people have pools in their villas. There is also a gym and tennis courts in the community. Getting in and out is also very easy, Emirates Road is very accessible so we can whiz over to Arabian Ranches in no time to play golf or watch the polo. This area really does have it all.

Love Thy Neighbourhood
Green Community West All you need-to-know about daily life in the area Renting Situated off the Emirates Road, in the Dubai Investment Park, accommodation in the Green Community West is of the villa variety, and they come in alternating colours of pink and yellow. Sixty-seven hectares in size, the complex is dotted with trees and hedges, as well as wide streets which, together, make it resemble a quiet, Middle American neighbourhood – though it attracts families and couples from all around the world. Villas range in size, from one- to five-bedroom properties, and can be bought by people of any nationality. When it comes to prices, figures range from AED625,000 (for a one-bedroom property) to AED5,000,000 (for a fivebedroom property).
Shopping and a bite Close by, The Market Shopping Centre (greencommunity.ae) offers 54 shops, services and cafes. The services include pharmacies and banks, while the shops boast sporting names – like The Athlete’s December 2011
Foot (theathletesfoot.com) and Beyond the Beach (beyondthebeach.com.au) – and family shops, such as Mothercare (mothercare.com). On top of this are beauty outlets, including the N.Bar (04 399 90090) for pampering manicures and pedicures, and the popular Hair Lounge (04 366 9828). Residents are not far from supermarkets either; there is a Spinneys (spinneys-dubai.com) nearby, along with a Choithram (choithram. com) grocery store. Restaurants and cafes in the vicinity include ice creamfanatics’ favourite Baskin Robbins (baskinrobbins.com), Costa Coffee (costa.co.uk) and Chilis (chilis.com), while Pastamania (pastamania.com) is the spot for a carb fix. Alternatively, residents can venture to the Courtyard by Marriott hotel (cydubaigreencommunity.com) for The Pine Grill, which serves freshlygrilled steaks, seafood and international fare. Alternatively, relax at the poolside restaurant Aqua Marine with a sandwich.
Leisure time Swimming pools, tennis courts and
large parks – perfect for dog walking and outdoor games with the kids – can be found around the complex. Offsite, the nearby Ibn Battuta shopping mall (ibnbattutamall.com) offers a Grand Megaplex cinema (grandcinemas.com), spas and shopping opportunities galore, including high street names like TopShop and H&M. Alternatively, The Dubai Mall (thedubaimall.com) is a mere 20 minutes drive away and offers further thrills for shoppers, from swimming with sharks at the Dubai Aquarium (thedubaiaquarium.com ) to ice-skating at Dubai Ice Rink (dubaiicerink.com). If you prefer outdoor activities, head straight for the Arabian Ranches Golf Club (arabianranchesgolfdubai.com), just moments away on Emirates Road, for a round on its 72 par course.
Schooling Within the community you’ll find The Children’s Garden (childrensgarden.ae), while nearby is Little Wonders Nursery (littlewonders.ae), which offers a British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and places a focus on creativity for little ones. The Greenfield Community School (gcschool.ae) can also be found in the complex while, just along Emirates Road, the JESS School’s (jess.sch.ae) UK-trained teachers educate primary, secondary and six form students.

aSk the agent partha reddy, reSidential ConSultant There is a 5 to 10% increase in rents in Jumeirah Lake Towers compared with prices in 2010 due to the completion of infrastructure work around the Dubai Marina metro station, filling up of the lakes, landscaping around the community, setting up of play areas and other amenities and with more convenient stores, restaurants, cafes, salons and mini marts opening soon. Prices are expected to rise further in 2012 once the infrastructure around the metro station and the wide road connecting to Springs/Meadows is complete. December 2011

Steal their style… Manoj Rani
The general manager of Freedom Furniture Dubai, shares his design tips How would you sum up your own home style? I have an eclectic style which encompasses modern, oriental and classic design. I love to mix different colours, textures and shapes and my wife and I now have the finish we’ve always wanted. The look is fresh and avant-garde.
F

What are the key decorating mistakes to avoid? Clutter is a big problem; this can ruin a home’s style. Clear it away into built-in storage units and it will appear to melt away into the walls. Also, choose the right furniture size for your space; if you’re on a budget and can’t afford to ditch your giant three-piece sofa for a new one, just take away one of the chairs to make it sit better in the space.

Can you offer us any interior decorating advice? Painting a room is one of the easiest and most impressive decor changes you can make. Once you’ve found the perfect colour, buy a rug. Rugs are often forgotten about, but they can really brighten a room, accent your furniture, or provide a lively contrast to the primary theme. Then, use lighting to bring a room alive: one of the best ways make to a lighting statement is through a combination of floor and table lamps.

What are your top tips for making Dubai homes festive? Firstly, get a Christmas scent in to your home. If you are from Northern Europe you’ll be used to a cold winter, and often a white winter. It’s hard to get that ambiance here, but smell is a great way to trigger your memories and give you that festive feeling. Buy oranges and whole cloves and stick the cloves into the oranges; you’ll get an unbelievable smell. Plus, they look great and double up as a wonderful decoration. Secondly, I would recommend some flowers, such as a red poinsettia, which are very atmospheric. Hyacinth also gives off a great ‘Christmassy’ scent.
December 2011
Group your flowers in big vases or baskets – and don’t just by one, buy three or four. Place them on the floor in your apartment to create a really lovely Christmas feel. What’s the biggest decor mistake you can make at this time of year? If you’re not used to designing interiors, try and avoid what I call the ‘American Christmas’ style, where lots of colours and decorations are used en masse. This technique takes a while to master, if it’s not done right it looks like a horrible mess. I would say stick to one colour theme, whether it’s red and white, gold and silver and so on.
10 top DIY tIps for DECEMBEr 1. For a touch of glamour, tie artificial green branches on to your chandeliers or lightshades and tie bows at the base of candle holders. 2. Place coloured baubles on top of tall candlesticks for an eyecatching table piece. 3. Create that festive, woody smell by scattering sprigs of flat cedar over your shelves, worktop surfaces and coffee tables. 4. Add a sprinkle of holiday glitter in the shape of stars, to your mantelpiece or table place settings – just avoid fine glitter; it can look grubby from afar. 5. Fill clear vases and round salad bowls with Christmas sweets, baubles, pine cones or candy canes. 6. Make your own faux parcels for decorations by collecting packaging and wrapping empty boxes up with coloured paper and ribbons. Pile them up in the corner of your living room, under your tree, or use a few as a table centrepiece. 7. Don’t forget the outside of your villa or apartment. Buy wire and shrubbery (try your local garden centre or DIY store) and attach it to a plain wreath before adding ribbons or fake holly. 8. Place small pointsettias up your staircase, whose red and green colours can look akin to small, potted Christmas trees. 9. Get some festive stockings or socks (we love snowflakes and reindeer prints), and pin them to your fireplace or wall. For added effect, put toys in them or stuff them with seasonal shrubbery and leave a little poking out. 10. Light candles in clusters around your house, and put on some classic Christmas tunes.

What do you think is better; a real or fake Christmas tree? It is possible to get real Christmas trees in the UAE, but they don’t last very long due to the weather conditions and air conditioning. When I’m in Dubai, I will always have a fake Christmas tree, however, when I’m at home in Sweden, it has to be a real Christmas tree – there is absolutely no other way. I love the smell and feel of them. If people have children at home, what should they be aware of when putting up their decorations? If you decorate with small things you run the risk of children putting them in their mouths and swallowing them. Also, if you’re decorating with sweets, expect your kids to eat all of them off of your tree and mess up your decoration. What decor would you say is most in style this season? Christmas is very personal, but if you follow trends this year’s has to be ‘The
Romantic Christmas’. It includes a lot of glitter or see-through baubles with white petals on them – you can get them from THE One. They look similar to Russian jewellery eggs and are just beautiful. Also in style this season is the complete opposite look, which uses loads of colours. Again, for this style, you have to be good at interior design to pull it off. I’d recommend focusing on one central colour, which will bring all of the other colours in a room together. Can you give any tips for people on a strict budget? I’d say make a nice composition using red apples, seasonal nuts, fruit and candies. They’re inexpensive and, the best part is, you can eat them afterwards so you don’t lose money. I also think that sometimes the simplest designs are the best – my tree, for example, only has lights on it – and not even coloured lights, just white lights. I concentrate on adding fruits, flowers and loads of candles in groups everywhere, and I change the furniture covers as well.

We can just imagine the smell of meadows, freshly-cut grass and lamb roasting in the oven from looking at this charming space, a great one for families. You needn’t worry if your kids clamber on the solid marble worktops and slam the sturdy wooden cupboards either; Kohler made these units to withstand everyday living and the test of time – which makes it a great investment. This particular look would work well in spacious villas – complement it with shutter-clad windows for a European feel, or go all out and add wooden beams to plain ceilings to maximise that ‘country’ feel.

This kitchen is ideal for the überfashionable and style-conscious homeowners among you; its look wouldn’t be out of place in the Versace Hotel or Atlantis The Palm, with its bold red hues, lavish velvet stool and zebra-print rug. Have these gloss-finish units fitted in an open-style kitchen/ diner and you’ll have yourself a seriously glamorous space from which to entertain your friends as you cook up a fitting feast – ideal for socialites who throw tonnes of dinner parties.

Royal Group’s (royalgroup.ae) architecture and interiors project manager Sanjeep Barthasarathy, shares his money-saving tips... how do you make interiors look good without breaking the bank? To rejuvenate a drab room there are plenty of things you can do to a space: you can reupholster your furniture, you can accessorise with lights and inexpensive chandeliers. You can even place interesting coffee mugs and bowls of chocolate around a room, depending on your budget. You’ve got to get creative.
exceptionally well against neutral walls in cream, white or magnolia hues.

Go Green Add plants to your rooms for life and character. Herbs are particularly inexpensive but smell great – mint and lavender are ideal for growing during the winter and give off divine aromas.
LAvish your sofA If you have a plain sofa, rejuvenate it with a scattering of coloured cushions. If a patch has faded, buy a throw and strategically cover the area in question – try fleece or cashmere for a cosy texture. Opt for coloured or patterned varieties and watch as guests comment on your vibrant room, not your boring couch.
revive your rAcks Ditch old towels for soft, brightlycoloured ones and place them in your bathroom and kitchen. Other accessories, such as a new drying rack and chunky chopping board, can also add life to kitchens, while funky toothbrush holders and soap dishes make bathrooms gleam.

Get fruity Store designers position fresh fruit at the front of supermarkets to lure you in, and the same principle works at home: they smell and look great. Try mixing a fruit bowl with nuts for the festive season.
What are your top tips for decorating with little money? It’s all about space planning. My background is in architecture, so I really consider a space before I do anything to it. If you move things around slightly you might feel the light reflects better through your room and the furniture fits more in a space – this could give the area a new lease of life. Also, shop around when you are buying furniture and test the quality yourself – just because something is designer or expensive, it doesn’t mean good quality. I have sat on many a designer sofa that is painfully uncomfortable. What inexpensive accessories would you recommend? New fabrics are great for changing a space; things such as vibrant tablecloths can make an old table come to life. Lighting is also very important: remove your strip florescent lights and replace them with energy-saving bulbs (which give of a much nicer glow), then use table lamps or floor lamps to draw attention to an area. Around lit areas, place scented candles or trinkets.
