Scope of Work
The Challenge
Delivering a rich, photogenic, premium-rental look without over-capitalising on an investment unit.
Our Solution
Statement materials focused on key zones, plus factory-direct joinery, produced maximum impact per dirham spent.
Our Approach
Concentrated Art Deco glamour — emerald, brass and fluted oak — placed where it photographs and rents best, on a disciplined investor budget.
Project Story
In Business Bay's crowded rental market, a distinctive interior is a business decision. Our investor client wanted a two-bedroom that would photograph beautifully, rent quickly and command a premium — without an open-ended budget.
We leaned into Art Deco glamour: deep emerald and brass, fluted oak joinery, marble-effect surfaces and sculptural lighting that turns each room into a shot. The drama is concentrated where it counts — the living room feature wall, the entry, the primary bedroom — while the rest stays clean and neutral so the spend works hard. Because the fluted joinery, wardrobes and furniture were produced factory-direct in Foshan, we delivered a genuinely high-end look at an investor-friendly cost.
The apartment completed in 60 days and, once the listing photos went live, rented within a week at the top of its band. Design as a return on investment.
