07 Interior Design & Space Planning

Plans that translate to the millimetre.

Commercial and residential space planning, furniture layouts, material specification, and concept-through-fitout coordination — calibrated to UAE authority approvals and tenant requirements before the first wall is set.

Our Methodology

Design That Delivers on Programme

Interior design in the UAE construction context is not just aesthetic — it is a coordination exercise. PKAS designs spaces that are buildable within authority requirements, MEP pre-conditions, and programme timelines. Concept designs that cannot be approved or built on time are not designs. They are liabilities.

Space Planning

Space Planning

Functional layout optimisation for commercial offices, retail units, F&B spaces, and residential developments. AutoCAD and BIM-compatible output.

Concept & Schematic Design

Concept & Schematic Design

Interior concept development including mood boards, material palette, furniture specification, and feature element design.

Authority Submission

Authority Submission

Interior fit-out drawings prepared for Dubai Municipality, DDA, and Trakhees approval — formatted to authority submission standards.

Fitout Coordination

Fitout Coordination

On-site coordination of the interior fitout programme — contractor supervision, material approval, and snagging through to handover.

Why It Matters

Design Without Coordination Is Redesign

Authority Rejection

Interior designs that ignore UAE authority requirements — accessibility, fire egress, ceiling heights — are rejected and must be redesigned. PKAS designs to the standard.

MEP Conflicts

Interior layouts that ignore MEP pre-conditions create costly reworks on site. PKAS coordinates with the MEP team from concept stage, not after issue.

Programme Impact

Late interior design approval is one of the top causes of fitout programme delays. PKAS manages the design and submission programme as a project controls function.
