Villa 41

One vision across the entire property.

Villa 41 in Sidra 1, Dubai Hills Estate is one of Deco Living's most comprehensive design-and-build projects.

The client wanted a complete interior and exterior transformation, with a distinctive outdoor concept and bespoke water features forming an important part of the overall vision.

Deco Living developed the full interior and exterior design and subsequently carried that vision through complete execution.

The Brief

Transform the property as one complete environment.

The client wanted more than a series of individual improvements. The objective was a complete interior and exterior transformation, with the different parts of the property working together as one overall concept.

A distinctive outdoor environment and bespoke water features formed an important part of the brief.

In-House Design

Interior and exterior developed as one vision.

Deco Living developed the full interior and exterior design for Villa 41 in-house, allowing both sides of the property to be considered as part of one connected transformation.

Rather than treating landscape, exterior works and interior changes as unrelated elements, the design process allowed the project to evolve around one overall direction.

Design + Build

From concept through complete execution.

Following the design phase, Deco Living moved into full execution of the project, coordinating interior and exterior works while continuing to refine selected design details during construction.

This continuity between design and delivery allowed decisions to evolve without separating the project from its original direction.

Water integrated into the outdoor concept.

Bespoke water features formed an important part of the client's outdoor requirements for Villa 41. Deco Living incorporated fountain, waterfall and rain-water features into the overall design and execution of the project.

Project Journey

How the project developed.

  1. 01

    Client Requirements

    Understanding the client's objectives for a complete interior and exterior transformation and the specific outdoor requirements.

  2. 02

    Concept

    Developing the full interior and exterior direction in-house.

  3. 03

    Design Development

    Translating the concept into a coordinated design for the property.

  4. 04

    Execution

    Delivering the interior and exterior works as one coordinated project.

  5. 05

    Refinement

    Continuing to adjust selected design details during construction where required.

The Challenge

A clear vision that continued to evolve during construction.

The client had specific requirements for the outdoor environment, while some design details continued to evolve after construction had begun.

The challenge was to incorporate those evolving requirements while keeping the interior and exterior works coordinated as part of the same overall project.

The Approach

Design in-house. Coordinate as one. Refine during execution.

Deco Living's in-house team developed the concept around the client's requirements and coordinated the interior and exterior design from the outset.

During execution, selected design details continued to be refined while the team managed the different workstreams as one connected project.

This allowed the finished property to maintain a coherent direction even as individual details evolved.

Design in Motion

Some decisions are refined on site.

The initial design phase took approximately one month, but selected details continued to evolve during the four-month execution period.

By keeping design and execution within the same team, these refinements could be incorporated while maintaining continuity across the project.
