Villa renovation in Pearl Jumeirah
Because every villa on the island was designed for its first owner, renovating one means adapting a unique house to new people. We study what is there, design the changes in 3D and carry them out in-house.

Renovating a house that was built to someone else's brief
Meraas describes Pearl Jumeira as offering plots for custom-built villas and mansions. A custom house is a particular kind of renovation project. There are no identical neighbouring villas that show what works, the layout reflects how the original owner wanted to live, and finishes and systems may be specific to that one build. When a new owner moves in, or a family's needs change, the questions are rarely about the structure. They are about rooms that do not suit the way you live, a kitchen designed for someone else, wardrobes in the wrong places and outdoor areas that were never finished. We begin by understanding the house as built before proposing anything.
What owners usually want to change
Layout and use of rooms
Turning a formal room into a family room, a guest suite into a home office, or opening the kitchen to the terrace.
Kitchen and pantry
New cabinetry, worktops and lighting, with the cabinets made in our own joinery workshop to fit the room exactly.
Bathrooms and suites
Strip-out, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware and vanities, planned so at least one bathroom stays usable if you live in the house during the work.
Joinery throughout
Wardrobes, walk-in closets, TV walls, wall panelling and doors, designed for the proportions of a one-off house.
Terraces and garden
Finishing or reworking outdoor areas, including pools, shade and lighting, alongside the indoor work.
Working with what the original build left behind
Drawings, systems and finishes
The first job is to understand the villa: where services run, which walls are structural, what finishes and fittings were used and how the air-conditioning and lighting are controlled. If you have the original drawings, they help. If not, we survey and record what we find.
That knowledge shapes the design. Keeping a wet room where it is, reusing a service route or matching a stone that is staying all reduce disruption. The 3D design then shows how the new rooms sit with the parts of the house that are not changing.
Approvals for renovation work
Pearl Jumeirah is listed by Dubai Holding among the communities managed by Dubai Holding Community Management. Which approvals a renovation needs depends on the scope: work that touches the exterior, structure or services is treated differently from new finishes. Approvals rest with the community's master developer or management and, where needed, the relevant authority. We confirm what applies and apply for it ourselves.
