Interior Design
at its finest.
Our core discipline. Full-scope luxury interior design for the discerning client.
Our core discipline. Full-scope luxury interior design for the discerning client.
Interior design is not what we offer alongside other services, it is what we are. Every spatial decision, material selection, and detailing choice is made with a single standard in mind: is this exceptional? We work with owners of villas, mansions, penthouses, and high-specification apartments across Dubai and the wider GCC.
We take on full-scope residential interior design projects, from complete new villa builds to penthouse fit-outs and renovations of properties that need a new identity. The scale varies; the standard does not. Whether you are planning a 1,200m² Emirates Hills mansion or a Downtown Dubai penthouse, you receive the same rigorous design process and the same level of personal attention.
Every project begins with a discovery conversation, we listen before we design. We learn how you live, how you entertain, what you have tried to achieve before and why it fell short. From that understanding, we develop a concept direction: spatial layout, architectural moves, mood, material palette. Once you respond and refine, we develop the design in full, technical drawings, 3D visualisations, finish schedules, specification packages, everything a contractor needs to build it precisely.
Most studios hand their designs to contractors and walk away. We stay. Architecture, permitting, FF&E sourcing, and project management are all handled in-house, which means the design intent is protected at every stage, from first sketch to completion certificate. No loss of detail in translation. No delays waiting for handoffs between firms.
A complete package covers everything needed to price, permit and build the interior without guesswork. That includes the concept presentation with spatial layout, mood and material palette; furniture and space-planning layouts; ceiling and lighting layouts; joinery details; finish and sanitaryware schedules; 3D visualisations of the key spaces; and the FF&E specification. Every drawing is coordinated with the MEP and permitting requirements, so the contractor builds exactly what was approved and nothing is left to interpretation on site.
Often, yes. Interior works that touch walls, services, ceilings or layout usually need a fit-out permit or a modification permit, and properties inside master communities also need a No Objection Certificate from the master developer first. Because Ganggaan acts as Architect of Record in-house, our interior drawings are prepared for submission from the start, and the permit runs in parallel with design and procurement rather than holding them up.
Yes. The full process can run remotely. Design reviews can happen online, you review and approve every material and FF&E selection, and our team manages the site, the suppliers and the authorities on the ground in Dubai. You are kept informed at every milestone, so you always know where the project stands without needing to be in the country. We also work across the wider UAE and the GCC, with interior projects including Corte Vetro in Doha and Aardrust Villa in Cape Town.
Residential is the core of our work, villas, mansions, penthouses, and apartments, but we also take on select commercial and hospitality projects when the brief calls for the same level of detail. We are selective about which projects we take on, regardless of category.
Full process. We take a project from concept through detailed design, FF&E specification, sourcing, procurement, and on-site supervision through to handover. We coordinate every consultant and supplier, so the client has a single point of contact throughout.
Globally. We work with luxury suppliers and ateliers across Italy, France, Switzerland, the UK, Spain, and elsewhere, as well as carefully selected regional craftsmen. For pieces that don't exist off-the-shelf, we design and commission custom furniture and joinery.
Concept and detailed design takes around three to six months for a villa, depending on scope. Full procurement, fit-out, and handover typically adds another nine to twelve months. We share a realistic programme at the proposal stage so there are no surprises.
We work across Dubai, including Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills, District One, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah Golf Estates and Jumeirah Bay, as well as the wider UAE including Abu Dhabi, and the GCC. Our studio is in Bay Square, Business Bay.
Fees depend on the size and scope of the project, so we propose them after an initial consultation, once we understand the property and the brief. The fee is based on a clearly defined scope and agreed before any design work begins, so there are no surprises later.
A conversation. Book a consultation or send us a message, and we will talk through the property, how you want to live in it, and your timeline. From there we prepare a proposal with scope, programme and fee, so you can decide with complete information.
Yes. We work with clients in both English and Arabic, from the first consultation through to handover.
