240,000 sq.ft of factory floor inside our 520,000 sq.ft Jebel Ali headquarters. Joinery, furniture, upholstery and architectural metalwork — every fixed and loose piece we draw is built here, by our own craftsmen.
Most fit-out houses draw the work and sub-contract the build. We do both. A designer can walk twenty paces from the drawing table to a full-scale mock-up in the machine hall, and see the piece they specified being made.
It collapses the feedback loop, removes a layer of supplier risk, and means we own the quality of what we deliver from sketch through to commissioning.

We invite every client to visit the shop floor at least once during the build — to see the mock-ups, sign off the veneer match, and meet the craftsmen building the work. Brief us first; we'll arrange access.
