Dubai Hills Estate
A complete apartment renovation delivered turnkey by one in-house team — living, kitchen, bedrooms, wardrobes and every bathroom.
01 Living & Dining
The original living area was stripped back to shell and rebuilt around light. New engineered-oak flooring runs wall to wall, classic gypsum moulding frames freshly skimmed walls, and a bespoke media wall anchors the seating zone facing the balcony glazing. Dubai Hills Renovation.
02 Kitchen
The kitchen was fully renovated with matte greige cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz counters and splashback, a matte-black sink and mixer, and integrated appliances — every millimetre of the U-shaped plan working for storage.
03 Hallway & Built-In Joinery
Corridors are usually leftover space. Here they were re-lit with warm recessed spots, floored in the same oak as the living areas, and finished as a calm gallery route between rooms.
04 Master Suite
The master bedroom was replanned as a true suite: an upholstered headboard wall with reading lights, a floating TV-and-vanity run in pale oak, and a dedicated dressing corridor of full-height wardrobes leading to the bathroom.
05 Bathrooms
Every wet area was stripped, re-waterproofed and rebuilt. Beige mosaic tiling, marble-look counters, brushed and matte-black fittings and backlit mirrors repeat across the master, family and guest bathrooms — each with its own character.
06 Second Bedroom
The second bedroom was refinished as a flexible family room: new flooring and sheer-and-blackout curtains, a glazed display-and-drawer unit, and space planned for a cot beside full-height windows.
One Team, Every Trade
Demolition, gypsum, joinery, tiling, electrical, plumbing, painting and glass — every trade on this renovation was our own in-house team, coordinated by a single project manager from survey to handover.
“We handed over an empty, standard apartment and came back to a home that feels custom-built for our family. One team, one contract, zero chasing — and the finish in the bathrooms and wardrobes is better than the show units we viewed. Eight weeks, exactly as promised.”
Every Trade. One Team. Since 1984.

This Dubai Hills renovation transformed a standard developer-finished apartment in Acacia B, Park Heights, Dubai Hills Estate into a warm, contemporary family home with classic detailing. Delivered turnkey by Fitout | Renovation Dubai, the project covered every room in the apartment — the open-plan living and dining area, the kitchen, the master suite with its walk-in wardrobe, the second bedroom, and all three bathrooms — along with new flooring, ceilings, lighting, joinery and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works throughout. On this page you will find the full story of the project: the design direction, the room-by-room scope, the complete list of renovation services we provided, the materials palette, and answers to the questions Dubai Hills Estate homeowners ask us most often before starting a renovation of their own.
Acacia at Park Heights is one of Dubai Hills Estate’s most sought-after apartment addresses — a family-focused community wrapped around Dubai Hills Park, with the golf course, Dubai Hills Mall and top schools minutes away. The apartments are well built, but like most developer handovers they arrive with a neutral, standard specification: basic ceramic floors, plain painted walls, standard-issue kitchens and bathrooms, and generic lighting layouts.
Our clients purchased this Acacia B apartment intending to live in it long-term with a young family. Their brief was clear: keep the calm, light-filled character of the building, but rebuild the interior to a boutique-hotel standard — warmer materials, far better storage, dramatically improved lighting, and bathrooms and a kitchen that feel bespoke rather than standard. They also wanted the entire renovation handled by one company, with one contract, one project manager and one point of accountability, rather than juggling separate flooring, joinery, tiling and MEP subcontractors.
That single-source approach is exactly how Fitout | Renovation Dubai has operated since 1984. With more than 25 trades in-house, we surveyed, designed, demolished, rebuilt and handed over this Dubai Hills renovation in eight weeks, with community and authority approvals managed on the client’s behalf from day one.
The design language balances two ideas. The first is warm minimalism — pale engineered-oak floors, greige and ivory surfaces, soft sheer curtains and uncluttered joinery. The second is classic structure — slim gypsum wall moulding, framed openings and a symmetrical media wall that give the apartment a quietly traditional backbone without tipping into ornament.
Color and material discipline holds the scheme together. The palette is limited to warm whites, greige, pale oak and honed marble-look stone, punctuated by matte-black and brushed-metal fittings and a deep navy sectional in the living room. Because the same handful of materials repeats in every room — the oak flooring, the beige mosaic in the bathrooms, the soft matte joinery fronts — the apartment reads as one continuous, considered home rather than a series of separately decorated rooms.
The living and dining zone was taken back to shell. We removed the original floor finishes, leveled the substrate and installed engineered oak plank flooring throughout. Walls were re-skimmed and framed with classic gypsum moulding panels, and a new gypsum ceiling design incorporates recessed curtain tracks, concealed cove details and a rewired lighting layout with a statement chandelier and sculptural glass pendants over the dining table. A bespoke media wall — combining painted joinery, open display niches with concealed lighting and a walnut-toned floating TV cabinet — anchors the room. The framed serving window between the dining area and kitchen was retained and re-trimmed in a slim black profile, preserving the social connection between the two spaces.
The U-shaped kitchen was completely renovated. New greige matte cabinetry runs floor to ceiling to maximize storage, topped with quartz counters and a matching quartz splashback. We installed a matte-black composite sink and pull-out mixer beneath the window, a built-in oven and gas hob with concealed extraction, and a full-height fridge-freezer housing. Behind the finishes, the kitchen received new dedicated appliance circuits, additional power points, re-routed water and drainage lines and LED task lighting under the wall units.
The master bedroom was replanned as a suite. An upholstered, panelled headboard wall with integrated reading lights sets the tone; opposite, a continuous pale-oak run combines a chest of drawers, floating TV console and dressing ledge with a framed oak mirror. The adjoining dressing area received floor-to-ceiling wardrobes — manufactured in our own joinery workshop — with soft-close doors, slim brushed handles, internal LED strips and a mix of hanging, shelving and drawer storage. New flooring, curtains, ceiling works and lighting complete the suite.
The second bedroom was refreshed as a flexible family bedroom, ready to serve as a nursery. It received the same oak flooring and full-height sheer-and-blackout curtain treatment as the master, plus a glazed-front display cabinet with drawer storage below. Low-VOC paints and rounded, snag-free joinery edges were specified with a small child in mind.
The master bathroom was stripped to slab, re-waterproofed and rebuilt around a double vanity. Two undermount basins sit in a marble-effect counter above rift-oak drawer units; tall backlit mirror cabinets provide storage and even facial lighting. Walls combine fine beige mosaic with smooth painted upper sections, and the floor is a warm porcelain. A wall-hung WC with concealed cistern and a framed botanical artwork finish the room.
The shower room features a frameless-glass walk-in enclosure with a ceiling-height mosaic surround, rain shower, sliding-rail hand shower and a generous double recessed niche. The family bathroom pairs a wide oak vanity and mirrored cabinet with its own mosaic-lined shower enclosure and polished towel rail. In both rooms, new waterproofing membranes were applied and flood-tested before a single tile was fixed — the invisible work that protects the apartment (and the neighbours below) for decades.
The guest WC became a jewel box: a shimmering natural-stone mosaic accent wall, a marble-effect counter with undermount basin, a matte-black mixer and concealed-flush plate, and a backlit mirror. Small room, big first impression.
Corridors received the same oak flooring, fresh skimming and paint, new solid-core doors with matte-black ironmongery, and a re-designed recessed lighting layout that turns the circulation space into a calm gallery route, finished with curated artwork.
As a single-source Dubai Hills renovation contractor, we self-performed every trade on this project. The complete scope included:
Lighting is where developer-standard apartments fall shortest, and where this renovation changed the feel of the home most dramatically. Every room now runs three layers of light. Ambient light comes from warm recessed downlights on dimmable circuits, positioned to wash walls rather than spot the floor. Feature light comes from the dining pendants, the living-room chandelier and the bedroom reading lights, each on its own switch. Concealed light does the quiet work: LED strips inside the display niches, beneath the kitchen wall units, behind every bathroom mirror and inside the wardrobes, triggered by door sensors. All lamps were specified at 2700–3000K so that oak, greige and marble tones read warm after sunset instead of flattening under cold white light. The result is an apartment that photographs beautifully at noon and feels like a boutique hotel at nine in the evening.
Ask any family what they want from a renovation and storage sits near the top of the list. This project nearly doubled the apartment’s usable storage without visually adding a single cupboard. The kitchen gained ceiling-height wall units and deep drawer banks; the master suite gained a full wall of wardrobes plus drawers built into the TV run; the bathrooms gained mirror cabinets and vanity drawers in place of open pedestals; and the second bedroom’s glazed cabinet keeps books and keepsakes on display while drawers below absorb the clutter of family life. Because every unit was made in our own workshop, internal layouts were tailored to what the clients actually own — long-hanging space, shoe shelving, jewellery drawers — rather than generic modules.
Renovating inside an occupied Dubai Hills Estate tower is as much a logistics exercise as a construction one. Our team scheduled deliveries within permitted hours, protected lobbies and lift interiors before the first tool arrived, and removed debris daily through approved routes. Noisy works — demolition, drilling, screeding — were compressed into the community’s permitted windows and communicated to building management in advance, keeping neighbour complaints at zero for the full eight weeks. Security passes, insurance documentation and contractor registrations were all arranged by our approvals team before mobilisation, so no site day was ever lost to paperwork.
The project closed with a documented handover pack: warranties on waterproofing, joinery and MEP works, care instructions for the oak flooring and quartz surfaces, and as-built notes on circuit and valve locations for future maintenance. Our aftercare team returned after the family moved in to complete a courtesy post-occupancy check — the final step of every renovation we deliver, and the reason so much of our Dubai Hills work arrives by neighbour referral.
The apartment’s calm comes from a tight palette used consistently: pale engineered oak underfoot; warm-white and greige paint with gypsum moulding; fine beige and taupe mosaic with marble-effect quartz in the wet areas; soft matte joinery fronts in ivory and greige; pale-oak furniture-grade veneers; and a jewellery layer of matte black and brushed metal across taps, handles, light fittings and door hardware. Every material was selected for Dubai’s climate and cleaning habits — dense porcelain and quartz that shrug off hard water, UV-stable finishes for sun-flooded rooms, and lacquered joinery that wipes clean.
Dubai Hills Estate is consistently among Dubai’s strongest communities for end-user demand, and renovated apartments in Park Heights routinely outperform standard-finish units on both rental yield and resale value. A well-executed Dubai Hills renovation does three things: it personalises a developer-standard interior, it adds genuinely useful storage and lighting that standard handovers lack, and it positions the property at the premium end of its building’s market. Because Acacia’s bones — ceiling heights, glazing and layouts — are excellent, renovation budgets go further here than in many older communities: the money goes into finishes and joinery, not into fixing fundamentals.
There is also a lifestyle case. Park Heights residents tend to stay: schools, the park, the mall and the golf course keep families rooted for years, which makes investing in genuinely personal interiors — a proper walk-in wardrobe, a nursery-ready second bedroom, bathrooms that feel like a spa — a decision owners enjoy every single day, not just at resale.
We begin with a detailed site survey and a design phase covering layouts, joinery drawings, lighting plans and material boards, with 3D visuals of key rooms so clients approve exactly what will be built.
Our team prepares and submits all community NOCs and authority permits, coordinates with building management on access, protection and working hours, and mobilises trades in a locked sequence.
Controlled demolition is followed by first-fix MEP — the rewiring, plumbing re-routes and HVAC adjustments that must be perfect before any finish goes on.
Waterproofing, tiling, gypsum, flooring and painting proceed to a published programme while joinery is fabricated in parallel at our workshop — the overlap that keeps an eight-week schedule honest.
Installation, glass and mirrors, deep cleaning, a joint snagging walk-through and a documented handover with warranties complete the project.

Fitout | Renovation Dubai has been delivering single-source fit-out and renovation across Dubai since 1984, with 25+ trades in-house and one point of accountability from the first sketch to the final snag.
A full apartment renovation like this Acacia B project typically takes 6–10 weeks on site, plus 2–3 weeks beforehand for design and approvals. Single rooms — a kitchen or one bathroom — usually run 2–4 weeks.
Yes. Renovation works in Dubai Hills Estate require a community NOC and, depending on scope, Dubai Municipality permits. We prepare and manage all approvals for our clients as part of every project.
Budgets depend on scope and specification. As a guide, full apartment renovations at this standard typically range from AED 150,000 to AED 400,000+ in Dubai Hills Estate. We provide a detailed, itemised fixed quotation after a free site survey.
For full renovations we recommend vacating, as flooring, painting and MEP works affect every room. For phased or single-room projects we routinely work around occupied homes with dust protection and agreed hours.
Yes — this project, like most of our work, was design-and-build: concept, 3D visuals, material selection, approvals, construction and handover under one contract with one project manager.
