Majlis Renovation – Deira
Residential
The Vision
This Majlis is located in the Deira district of Dubai and serves as a formal gathering space for hosting official family meetings and receptions. It belongs to a long-established and respected Emirati family. The original design of the Majlis dates back approximately twenty years, during which time it functioned as an important venue for formal gatherings of an extended Arab family. After more than two decades of use, the family decided to renovate and modernize the building. Our primary objective was to preserve the original concept and cultural essence of the Majlis while introducing a contemporary architectural language. The reception area, dining space, and Majlis seating areas were maintained in their traditional spatial arrangement. The building was upgraded with minimal demolition to create a more modern and refined environment. The entrance wall and perimeter enclosure were redesigned to allow a more welcoming and open visual connection with the exterior. Landscaping enhances the sense of arrival. The spatial layout is clearly organized with Majlis seating to the right and dining to the left. Concealed doors provide access to restrooms and a small pantry. The design emphasizes simplicity, restraint, and formal elegance with large windows for natural light and a neutral interior palette creating a calm, timeless atmosphere.
