Meadows Villa Renovation — Type 8 Transformation

Bright, modern interiors with open-plan kitchen, luxury bathrooms, and custom storage solutions

Complete Villa Renovation

Our clients, a Swedish family with two young daughters, purchased a Meadows Type 8 villa in its original Emaar finish. While the home offered space, it felt dark, cramped, and dated. Over a 6-month transformation, we redesigned the kitchen, reconfigured all bathrooms, replaced doors and windows, and installed new wardrobes and flooring — creating a bright, functional home tailored to modern family living.

From Outdated to Outstanding

The master suite’s awkward, dark bathroom was completely reimagined. By removing the cramped wardrobes and enlarging the footprint, we created a spacious spa retreat with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and custom vanity — delivering a modern layout with both style and practicality.

Where Our Clients Saw Problems, We Delivered Solutions

From dark entrances to cramped bathrooms, here’s how we reimagined key spaces to create a brighter, more functional villa

Kitchen — The New Family Hub

The original kitchen was narrow and boxed in, with an impractical counter opening that left the room dark and uninviting. Our team worked with Häcker to open the space into the family room and design a layout centred around a dramatic oversized island. This multi-purpose feature provides storage, prep space, casual dining, and even a place for the children to do homework. Integrated appliances and engineered wooden flooring seamlessly tie the entire space together into a bright, modern family hub.

Living Areas — Light and Space Restored

The villa’s living spaces suffered from cheap tiles, small Emaar-style windows, and limited natural light. Wherever possible, we enlarged the external wall openings to install expansive sliding doors and fixed picture windows, creating bright connections to the garden and pool. Ceilings and lighting were upgraded, and engineered wood flooring laid throughout, giving the entire villa a warm, contemporary feel.

Children’s Ensuite Bathrooms — Smarter Layouts

Both daughters’ en-suites were dated and inefficient. One featured a WC directly facing the door, while both relied on over-bath showers and limited storage. We stripped the rooms back and reconfigured each layout, replacing baths with walk-in showers, relocating the WC for better proportions, and installing Bagno Design sanitaryware with custom vanities. The result: bathrooms that are bright, functional, and designed for everyday family use.

Powder Room — Guest-Ready Luxury

As the main guest bathroom on the ground floor, the powder room needed to make an impression. We replaced the dated fittings with a sleek, modern vanity and added a full-length illuminated niche to create a boutique hotel feel. Bold tiling and contemporary lighting create a stylish space that reflects the high standard of the renovation throughout the villa.

Master Wardrobe & Bathroom Reconfiguration

Previously, the master bedroom led into a small, dark wardrobe area that awkwardly doubled as a passage to the bathroom. We removed the wardrobes and dividing wall, replacing the arched opening with a new bathroom door to form one large, efficient master bathroom. To balance this change, we installed full-height custom wardrobes in unused bedroom space — adding storage while keeping the bedroom layout sleek and practical.

Family Room Doors — Bringing the Garden In

The original family room doors were small and outdated, blocking the connection to the garden. We enlarged the opening and installed modern sliding doors, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living — perfect for entertaining and family gatherings.

Client Story

The Lidén family, a Swedish couple with two young daughters, had been renting in Dubai before purchasing their first villa in The Meadows. While the property offered space, its dated interiors and dark layout didn’t match their vision of a bright, modern family home.

They entrusted us with the entire renovation journey. Over the course of six months, we opened up the kitchen and family room, reconfigured every bathroom, and upgraded doors, windows, ceilings, and flooring. Working with our partners Häcker and Bagno Design, along with our custom joinery team, we delivered a Scandinavian-inspired villa that strikes a balance between light, space, and practicality.

Today, the family enjoys a home that feels modern and welcoming — a place perfectly suited for both everyday life and entertaining.
