Outdoor scope
Outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of the interior.
NAFA provides outdoor living and landscape design for luxury residential, commercial and hospitality projects in Dubai and across the UAE.
Our approach treats outdoor spaces as a natural extension of the architecture and interior design. We consider how terraces, gardens, courtyards, rooftops and poolside areas can support relaxation, entertaining, movement and everyday use while remaining visually connected to the property.
Depending on the agreed project scope, our services may include outdoor-space planning, landscape concepts, terrace and courtyard layouts, roof-garden design, pergola and shaded-area concepts, poolside planning, hardscape and softscape selection, outdoor furniture, decorative features, planters, water elements and exterior lighting coordination.
For private villas and residences, we create outdoor environments that may include family seating areas, dining zones, entertainment spaces, private retreats, landscaped entrances, garden pathways and connections between indoor and outdoor living.
For commercial and hospitality projects, outdoor design can enhance arrival experiences, customer areas, terraces, relaxation spaces and the overall identity of the property.
Planting, paving, stone, timber, metal, fabrics and outdoor furniture are selected as part of one coordinated material palette. Particular attention is given to durability, shade, comfort, maintenance and suitability for the UAE climate.
Lighting is considered throughout the design to improve safety, movement and atmosphere after sunset. This may include pathway lighting, feature lighting, concealed illumination, landscape accents and coordinated lighting for pergolas, façades and outdoor seating areas.
Where required, NAFA can coordinate the outdoor concept with architects, landscape specialists, contractors, lighting suppliers, furniture suppliers and other appointed consultants to help maintain the approved design during technical development and execution.
Specialist irrigation, structural, pool-engineering and authority-submission services are coordinated with appropriately appointed and licensed consultants where required by the project.
Each outdoor design proposal is tailored to the property type, location, architecture, intended use, programme, budget and required level of design or execution support.
Outdoor design works best when it responds to climate, privacy, views, shade, circulation and the way people actually gather outside.
The service can connect landscaping, terrace furniture, roof gardens, lighting and exterior finishes so the outdoor area feels calm, useful and connected to the interior language.
