Twenty Years On, a Generation of Villas Ready for Its Second Life

Renovation · Interiors · Gardens

The lakes, the tree-lined culs-de-sac and the walk to the golf course made this the address families settled into, and the houses have carried two decades of that life. What they carry less well is how households live now — kitchens shut away from the family room, a formal sitting room standing unused, a garden that ends at a rectangle of tired lawn. Villa renovation in Emirates Living starts in that gap between the plan as drawn and the family filling it, and these houses take the changes generously because the bones were laid out with room to spare. Bring us the villa and the way you want it to work.

Every layout already known. Our designers have worked the standard Meadows, Springs and Lakes types often enough to say on the first visit which walls carry load and which come out freely.

Drawn and built by one studio. Interior design in Emirates Living runs into our own site teams, so joinery, stone and finishes arrive as specified rather than as interpreted on site.

Approvals pursued for you. Community sign-off, Dubai Municipality submissions and Civil Defence review are prepared and chased by us, never handed back to the owner.

What We Design

Across the villa communities and the apartment buildings that share the master plan, our scope covers:

Villa renovation and extension: kitchens opened into family living, rear extensions, remade masters and bathrooms, staircases rebuilt as something worth looking at.

Interior design and fit-out: full schemes for Meadows, Springs and Lakes homes, from space plan through joinery, stone, lighting and loose furniture.

Bespoke joinery and storage: wardrobes, understair storage, studies and kitchen islands built to the exact plan rather than bought to fit it.

Gardens, pools and terraces: the shaded outdoor room these plots were handed over without, with planting and lighting that keep it alive after dark.

Apartment fit-out in The Views and The Greens: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and lighting reworked inside the towers that share the community.

How We Work

Renovating an occupied house in a managed community asks for a process that respects both. Ours runs:

Reading the house: a site visit to establish the villa type, the structure, and what the household needs the plan to do differently.

Fixing the direction: layouts, material boards and photoreal 3D views agreed before anything is ordered or opened up.

Drawing it fully: construction drawings, joinery details and finish schedules prepared to community standards and municipal code.

Clearing the approvals: community management sign-off obtained alongside the Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence packages.

Building it out: our site team running the works to permitted hours, with the street left as we found it.

Handing it back: the house dressed, cleaned and returned complete, ready to be lived in the same week.

Choose Your Style

Two decades of stock and a wide range of households give room for several directions. Our work spans:

Warm Contemporary: oak, plaster and stone in a soft palette, the most requested register across these communities.

Modern Arabic: a majlis for receiving, warm materials and considered pattern within a contemporary plan.

Classic Refined: panelled walls, cornice and marble, handled with restraint rather than ornament.

Family Practical: hard-wearing surfaces, deep storage and an open ground floor built around children and daily use.

Garden-Led: the interior planned outward, with glazing, terrace and planting drawn as one composition.

Where We Design

Emirates Living. The Meadows, The Springs, The Lakes, and the apartments of The Views and The Greens.

Emirates Hills. Custom homes built from the plot up are a separate commission, covered on our Emirates Hills page.

The neighbouring communities. Our work reaches Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Park and the villa districts along the same stretch.
