VILLA RENOVATION IN DUBAI: ONE TEAM, ONE CONTRACT
NORT.DESIGN renovates villas and penthouses in Dubai under one contract: interior design, fit-out, bespoke furniture, furnishing and preparation for sale. One team, one fixed price for the agreed scope and about five months from contract to handover.
Who it is for
Owners and investors of villas and penthouses in Dubai worth AED 15M and more. Some plan to live in the property, some plan to sell it. In both cases the goal is a home that stands out in its price bracket.
Brokers who list such properties. The broker gets a plan to put in front of the owner: what to change, at what fixed price and by when.
What is included
- Upgrade strategy. Before the first drawing, Roman Chertkov reviews the property in the context of its price bracket and approves the strategy: what to keep, what to rethink, which changes will give the villa a character of its own.
- Villa interior design. Layout, light, materials and the drawings needed for approvals.
- Fit-out under our management.
- Bespoke furniture and joinery made by our partner workshop in Dubai.
- Furnishing: furniture, lighting and decor, including pieces from our partner factories Baxter, Rimadesio and Poliform.
- Listing preparation: photography and a 3D tour of the finished property.
How the work goes
- Viewing. We see the property and talk to the owner and, if there is one, the broker.
- Strategy and price. We define what to change and name one fixed price for the agreed scope.
- Contract. One contract, payment in three stages.
- Design and approvals. Drawings for the developer and the authorities.
- Fit-out and joinery. The site is run by our team in Dubai.
- Furnishing. Furniture, lighting and decor are delivered and installed.
- Handover. The finished property with photography and a 3D tour.
Timeline and price
About five months from contract to handover. The price is one fixed figure for the agreed scope, written into the contract. We name it after the viewing, because it depends on the size of the property, its condition and what it takes to stand out in its price bracket. After signing it does not grow.
One of our projects in Dubai: Black Stone Apartment on Bluewaters Island, handed over turnkey in 2025 for the owner ahead of a sale.

Is it worth renovating a villa before selling it?
Only where the changes work for the price in its category. That is why we start with the strategy, and sometimes the right answer is to do less. The price is fixed and known before the contract.
