Project details

The Villa Sheherezade is situated in an exclusive location at the heart of Dubrovnik. Originally constructed in 1929 by the affluent Russian Jew, Vilim Zimdin, in honor of his mysterious mistress named Sheherezade, after whom the villa continues to be named. Designed in a luxurious oriental style inspired by the castle depicted in the collection of tales "A Thousand and One Nights" the villa has undergone numerous turbulent periods from its construction to its ownership by the JLH d.d. group. These periods have been marked by profound love stories, tragedies, and struggle for property, all contributing to the rich history of the villa, which is reminiscent of the exemplary stories upon which it was built.A new chapter in the history of the villa commenced in November 2019, when the Texo Molior team was entrusted with the comprehensive reconstruction of both the villa and its surroundings. With over 1000m2 of indoor space and more than 3000m2 of outdoor space, the project presented significant challenges. Following a highly competitive tender process conducted by JLH d.d., the reconstruction project demanded careful structural demolition and reinforcement solutions, insulation work employing the highest quality materials and technologies, as well as careful craftsmanship and attention to detail, with zero tolerance for deviations from the required standards of quality. Additionally, it involved implementing the most advanced installations and systems, utilizing materials and equipment sourced from all over the world.The Texo Molior team, in this complex work task, has incorporated all its knowledge, creativity and uncompromising commitment to work successfully met all objectives in terms of quality, deadlines, and construction budget. We express our gratitude to JLH d.d. for placing their trust in us for this demanding project.
