Villa renovation in Jumeirah Islands
We renovate Jumeirah Islands villas from the inside out: kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, verandas and roof terraces, planned in 3D and kept within Nakheel's rules for the outside of the house.
Free site visit · Designed in 3D · We apply for the Nakheel NOC
Renovating a villa that was built to face the water
Jumeirah Islands villas were built around their outdoor spaces: Nakheel describes homes with large private gardens, verandas and spacious roof terraces, looking out over scenic lakes. Many of them have now been lived in for a long time, and owners renovating them usually want two things at once. Inside, the kitchen, bathrooms and finishes need bringing up to date. Outside the walls, the rooms that open to the veranda and the lake should feel more connected to it. A renovation here is about making the house work with its setting, while respecting the limits the community places on the exterior.
What Nakheel's rules mean for a renovation
According to the FAQ on Nakheel's website, owners can make changes as long as they do not affect the external facade and structure of the property, and must obtain an NOC from Nakheel's Urban Planning team before making any alterations. In practice that means interior renovation has wide scope, while anything touching the facade, the roof line or the structure needs particular care and may not be possible. We check your plans against the community's rules at the Plan stage and apply for the NOC ourselves.
Where Jumeirah Islands renovations usually focus
Kitchen and family room
Opening the kitchen to the living space that faces the garden, with new cabinetry made in our own joinery.
Bathrooms
Strip-out, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware and vanities, planned so at least one bathroom stays usable while you live there.
Openings to the veranda
Where the community allows it, doors and finishes that make the step from living room to veranda feel like one space.
Roof terrace
Waterproofing, flooring, shade and lighting, so a terrace that is rarely used becomes a room with a view.
Floors, ceilings and stairs
New flooring across the ground floor, gypsum ceilings with concealed lighting, and the staircase that links the levels.
Planning the work around the family
All at once or one area at a time
Some owners renovate the whole villa while it is empty; others stay at home and work area by area. Either way we plan the whole house first, so that a bathroom done this year does not have to be opened up again when the kitchen is done next year.
Garden, pool and terrace work use different trades and access from the interior, so they can often run alongside it. One project manager coordinates both and is your single point of contact.

Plan
Scope, phasing and the rooms that stay in use, checked against Nakheel's rules. We apply for the NOC.
Visualization
Each renovated area in 3D, so you see the kitchen, bathrooms or terrace before anything is demolished.
Execution
Our in-house team carries out the work, with joinery made in our own workshop and one project manager.
Duration depends on the work. A programme for each phase is given after the site visit.
