Luxury kitchen transformation for Alexander D. on Jumeirah Bay Island, featuring a sculptural waterfall marble island, dark fluted bespoke cabinetry, illuminated glass displays and herringbone timber flooring by Halo Interiors.

A striking contemporary kitchen transformation in Jumeirah Bay Island, Dubai, where dramatic marble, dark bespoke joinery, architectural lighting and warm timber flooring come together to create a sophisticated space for cooking and entertaining.
Book a Free Site VisitThe centrepiece is a sculptural marble-clad kitchen island and breakfast bar, characterised by pronounced natural veining and a dramatic waterfall edge. The stone extends across the work surface and down the side of the island, creating a monolithic architectural feature contrasted against the dark base cabinetry. Integrated under-counter lighting gives the island a floating effect and highlights the craftsmanship of the stone installation.
Behind the island, extensive floor-to-ceiling bespoke joinery is finished in a dark vertically fluted treatment, adding texture and rhythm to the cabinetry while concealing generous storage and integrated appliances. A recessed preparation zone incorporates a stone backsplash and worktop, integrated sink, task lighting and built-in ovens.
One of the most distinctive features is the illuminated glass display cabinetry, integrated into the tall joinery to create a showcase for decorative objects and glassware. Additional floor-to-ceiling stone feature panels with slim display shelving extend the material language beyond the working kitchen.
Three sculptural glass pendant lights provide a decorative focal point above the island, complemented by recessed linear ceiling lighting and integrated illumination throughout the joinery. The dark cabinetry and cool stone are softened by the warmth of the herringbone timber flooring, creating a balanced contemporary material palette.
Delivered by Halo Interiors, the project demonstrates the detailed coordination involved in high-end villa renovation and interior fitout in Dubai, bringing together bespoke joinery, specialist stone fabrication, custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, architectural lighting and MEP services within one cohesive luxury kitchen.

The questions Jumeirah Bay Island owners ask us most before they start.
There is no useful average here — the homes are individually designed and the specification range is enormous, so a published figure would mislead more than it helps. What we can commit to is the method: a free site visit, a measured survey, then an itemised, line-by-line proposal against a defined scope with a dated programme and milestone payments. You compare real numbers, not a lump sum.
Yes. Structural changes, wet-area works, external modifications and anything touching the building envelope need the community management NOC first, then a Dubai Municipality permit. Apartment works inside the Bulgari buildings additionally need building management approval. Halo prepares the drawings and runs every submission in-house.
A full master bathroom rebuilt with integrated stone, bespoke joinery and new waterproofing typically runs 6–10 weeks on site once approvals are in place. Stone fabrication and joinery are made in parallel in our own factory rather than after the strip-out, which is where most of the time is saved. Approvals usually add 2–6 weeks before site start.
Yes — it is work we do ourselves. The vanity on this island project was cut from a single heavily figured slab with the basins, upstands and deep front fascia carried through as one continuous piece. It depends on slab selection, vein positioning and edge fabrication being planned together before cutting, which is why we do not subcontract it.
For single-zone work — one bathroom, a dressing room, a kitchen — yes, phased and sealed off so the rest of the house stays in use. For full interior renovations with structural or MEP works we generally recommend vacating: it is faster, cheaper and quieter, and on an island with controlled access it also keeps deliveries out of your way.

Waterproofing, strip-out, drainage falls, MEP first fix, ventilation and vanity joinery — the stages that decide whether a Dubai bathroom renovation holds, and where they most often go wrong.

Vanities, cabinetry and stone surfaces at this level fail on the detail — vein alignment, shadow gaps, edge fabrication. We make them ourselves, so those decisions are ours to get right rather than a supplier’s to explain away.
Integrated basins, mirror edges, upstands and recessed plinths only read as one composition when they line up. Our surveys and shop drawings are done to the tolerance the finish needs, before anything is cut.
