Designing for how Dubai homes are actually handed over.
Almost every Dubai home we design started life as a developer handover: a Dubai Hills or Arabian Ranches villa with a standard white-box specification, an Emaar apartment with a fixed kitchen position, a Palm Jumeirah signature villa with a shell that cannot be touched without Nakheel sign-off. Designing here begins with what the handover fixes and what it leaves open — riser positions, slab depths, façade elements under community control — because a beautiful layout that breaches the fit-out guidelines is a layout you will redraw twice.
Our Dubai studio surveys the property, pulls the developer's fit-out manual, then produces layouts, photoreal 3D visuals and a full material schedule sourced from suppliers in Al Quoz and Dragon Mart within a week's reach. Because our joinery workshop and site teams are Dubai-based, the drawings you sign off get built by the people who sat in the review meeting — not reinterpreted by a subcontractor two months later.

Approvals handled
We prepare and lodge every Dubai permit and community approval your interior design needs.
12-month warranty
Workmanship warranted for twelve months, attended by the same team that carried out the work.

Approvals and permits in Dubai
Interior work in Dubai splits into what needs a permit and what does not. Finishes, joinery and lighting inside the existing envelope usually do not. Moving walls, altering wet-area positions or changing electrical loads does — and it needs both a developer NOC and a Dubai Municipality building modification permit before a hammer moves. We prepare drawings, insurance and contractor documentation, lodge the submission and build the approval window into your programme.
- Dubai Municipality building modification permits, prepared and lodged by us
- Dubai Development Authority (DDA) submissions for TECOM and free-zone communities
- Developer NOCs — Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai Properties, Damac and Meraas
- Contractor registration, third-party insurance and site access passes
Materials and finishes we work with
- Italian marble & quartzite
- Neolith & Dekton sintered stone
- American walnut veneer
- Fluted oak panelling
- Microcement wall finish
- Jotun Fenomastic paint
- Porcelanosa large-format porcelain

- Linen & bouclé upholstery

“They knew the Emaar fit-out rules better than the community office did, so nothing we approved got bounced back.”
Interior Design in Dubai, answered.
Design-only fees in Dubai start around AED 45,000 for an apartment and AED 90,000 for a villa. Turnkey design-and-build across Dubai is quoted as one fixed sum after a measured survey.
Yes if you touch walls, wet areas or electrical loads. That needs a developer or building-management NOC plus a Dubai Municipality modification permit. Cosmetic finishes and joinery generally do not.
Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Damac Hills and Al Barsha are our regular ground, and we work across the rest of Dubai too.
Four to six weeks from survey to approved technical drawings, assuming a week of feedback at concept stage and a week at 3D stage. Permit time runs in parallel where it applies.
Yes. Marina, Downtown and JBR towers typically allow works Sunday to Thursday within set hours; we programme noisy trades accordingly and register our crew with building management.
Frequently. Separate guest entry, correct circulation away from family areas and seating planned for large gatherings are standard considerations on every Dubai villa we design.
