“Best decision I made was to hire Fajr Interiors.”
Design

Villa 47, room by room.
A villa of 10,000 sqft is read room by room: the entrance and the stair, the living and dining spaces, the kitchen, the bedrooms, baths and dressing room, the study, and the terrace and pool. Filter the frames by space. Each one names the view it records — the angle, the light, the time of day — so the rooms read as one set.

The principal bathroom from the technical set: the layout with every fitting placed and coded, and the wall elevations that set out the stone and tiling. The render and the finished room are above.
On site
The build, from the owner’s first visit.
Wyll bought the villa in Fairways and hired us to renovate it completely. These films follow the works: his first visit to the stripped villa in September 2024, the site walks and drawing reviews in November, the walkthrough with the 3D design in hand, and the exterior in April 2025 as the pool and pergolas went in. Frames from site close the section; set them beside the gallery to see the same rooms finished.
The walkthrough
Every room, held up against its render.
Mid-build, with the walls bare and the ceilings open, we walked the villa with the 3D design on a tablet and showed each room as it would be finished. Two bedrooms were joined into the principal suite; the kitchen wall was pushed out for a show kitchen with a service kitchen behind it. Pick a room to jump to it.

What approvals does a Dubai Hills villa renovation need?

We are registered with Emaar, the DDA and Dubai Civil Defence, and hold G+1 approved contractor status with Dubai Municipality. The Dubai Hills page sets out the route for owners.
