A new design and build studio has been launched in the UAE and will focus on delivering luxury residential projects.
Estilo Architects says its team has previously completed single home and large residential developments across the Middle East, Europe, US, Africa and Asia.
According to a statement, the firm will offer fully-bespoke, turnkey design and construction services, from initial planning and architectural design through to preconstruction services, construction, interior design and handover.
The services will be delivered by an in-house team, which the firm says will remove the need for new build and renovation clients to seek additional third-party contractors for residential projects.
“Traditionally, clients have used multiple service providers and contractors when building a new home or renovating an existing property. This has led to frustration, as communication between the different parties can lead to inaccuracies, delays and unforeseen costs. By offering a turnkey solution we are able to move through the project, from start to finish, seamlessly,” said Ezaht Al Doory, managing partner of Estilo Architects.
The firm says that new build architecture and construction services will be offered to clients looking to develop projects anywhere in the UAE. The studio will also offer interior design and renovation services to customers with existing villas, the statement said.
“Clients have a single point of contact who acts as their representative, ensuring works are completed on time, to budget and without any compromise on quality. Currently, there is a gap in the market – homeowners and investors do not have a lot of choice when looking for an integrated solutions provider. Estilo Architects will fill this requirement, providing every service under one roof,” added Al Doory.
He concluded, “Despite the well-publicised softening of the UAE real estate market and the increasing demand for affordable homes, there is still a healthy appetite for luxury properties in the emirates. As people look to take advantage of lower house prices to build, upgrade or renovate their homes, we feel the region is ready for a firm specialised in offering turnkey high-end solutions.
“Many experts predict Dubai’s residential market will experience an upswing in 2020 due to property life cycle projections and Expo 2020, making now the ideal time to invest in property. Estilo Architects, in addition to providing services to homeowners and property investors, will be expanding into purchasing properties with a view to upgrading or completing them to premium standards. These properties will then be put on the market for buyers looking to invest in a unique, high-end home.”
