A London way of working, shaped for UAE
The UAE is one of the most exciting residential markets in the world. There is ambition, pace and a genuine appetite for exceptional homes. But a truly exceptional home requires more than a striking CGI or a fast construction programme.
Project London UAE was created to meet a clear opportunity in the market. More curated design. Better service. Stronger quality control. A clearer process from concept to completion. We bring the design rigour, technical coordination and commercial discipline of our London studio to private residential projects across the UAE. By combining architecture, interiors, procurement and project management under one roof, we give clients one trusted team to guide the whole journey. The result is a home that feels personal, refined and properly resolved, delivered with clarity, care and control. View our services
We work with clients who want more than a design concept. They want a home that is beautifully considered, properly costed and expertly delivered.
Our London background gives us a particular way of working. We interrogate the brief, test the layout, coordinate the detail, tender the works properly and manage the many decisions that sit between concept and completion. In a market where projects can move quickly, that structure matters. It helps protect the client’s time, budget and investment, while ensuring the finished home feels layered, personal and built to last.
From curating timeless interiors or overseeing full-scale renovations, we take care of every detail, making the experience as stress-free as it is rewarding.

Architecture
From feasibility and BUA studies to layout optimisation, extensions, authority packages and technical design, we develop architectural proposals that are both creative and buildable.
Interior design
We create interiors with depth, character and a strong sense of place. Our work covers concept design, material palettes, lighting direction, finishes, joinery, bathrooms, kitchens and detailed interior specifications.
FF+E and furnishing
We source furniture, lighting, rugs, window treatments, artwork and accessories, combining international design references with local makers and suppliers where appropriate.
Procurement
We help source and manage key finishes, furniture and specialist items, bringing structure, transparency and a trained eye to one of the most time-consuming parts of a project.
Tender and contractor appointment
We prepare tender information, issue to suitable contractors, review returns and interrogate pricing, helping clients appoint from a position of knowledge rather than guesswork.
Project management
We remain involved through delivery, coordinating design queries, site meetings, contractor information, workmanship reviews, snagging and handover.
Our UAE studio is now working across a growing portfolio of private villas, townhouses and penthouses, from full renovations and extensions to FF&E-led furnishing projects.
Each project is different, but the ambition is consistent.
Beautiful design, clear process and a finished home that feels personal, refined and properly delivered.

London and UAE.
Project London was founded in the luxury residential market in London, where we have delivered more than fifty private residential projects and built a reputation for thoughtful design, clear process and exacting service.
Our expansion into UAE is a natural next step. Many of our clients hold property and interests across London and the Middle East, and we see strong demand in the region for a more joined-up approach to residential design and delivery.
Sam McArdle leads the UAE studio on the ground. Jonathan Mount oversees the wider business from London, bringing the experience of a former buying agent together with years of advising private clients on prime property and refurbishment.
Two founders. Two locations. One clear standard. Local presence, London oversight and a process designed to help clients design well, spend wisely and deliver properly.
We could not ignore the opportunity to pair Dubai’s pace and opportunity with London’s design depth, commercial judgement and professional rigour.
We are excited to deliver beautifully designed and curated schemes to the region with the quiet assurance that defines Project London.

A home bar designed to feel like part of the room, not an afterthought.
We layered warm metallic finishes, textured cabinetry and natural stone to create something that feels rich and refined, while the curved form softens the overall look and gives the joinery a more architectural feel.
Proof that the most functional corners of a home can still be some of the most beautiful ✨

A dressing room should be as beautiful as it is functional.
Beyond providing storage, it should create a sense of calm, making everyday routines feel effortless and organised.
Here, textured cabinetry, warm brass detailing and natural stone have been layered to create a space that’s timeless, elegant and quietly luxurious.
It’s a space you’ll want to spend time in, not just pass through.

From stone yard to statement kitchen ✨
Watching this Calacatta Viola transform from a warehouse selection into the heart of this kitchen is exactly why we love the process.
No two slabs are ever the same, which is why we always choose them in person. It’s the only way to appreciate the movement, veining and character that will define the finished space.
In this kitchen it became the focal point, bringing warmth, drama and a completely unique finish.
Would you have this in your kitchen?

The beauty of this bathroom is in the balance.
Soft, handcrafted tiles. Warm timber joinery. A patterned floor that adds interest without overwhelming the space.
Every material has its own character, but together they create a bathroom that feels timeless, inviting and beautifully understated.
Great design isn’t about adding more, it’s about choosing the right elements and letting them speak for themselves.

We’ve all had proposals turned down, that’s not the problem.
Every business hears “no”. Sometimes the budget isn’t right. Sometimes the timing changes. Sometimes another company is simply a better fit.
That’s all part of doing business.
What makes the difference is communication.
A quick message to say, “Thanks, but we’re not going to proceed,” gives everyone clarity and allows both sides to move on professionally.
The same applies throughout a project. The best outcomes don’t just come from good design, they come from honest, clear communication from everyone involved.
