The Project

The Al Maktoum Family House Pavilion is part of ‘Wave-1A’, which is a portion of the master planned Shindagah development. The heritage houses and mansions are currently being fully restored and converted into individually themed museum pavilions that depict aspects of Dubai’s culture and heritage. The project involved critical and sensitive
structural modifications to existing heritage buildings to get the required architectural spatial provisions and MEP services integration. We also managed the budget and cost validation exercise, specialist subcontractor package procurement and programme/time and resources allocations by the consultants and contractors. We managed an international team of contractors and specialist suppliers.

Our Appointment

We were appointed by ‘GSM Projects’, who were awarded the project as the exhibitions contractor. Our remit included project management with design management and coordination. We organized extensive 3D laser surveys of the as-built environment to get an accurate starting point for the re-design exercise. Our team was entrusted with managing the design of the base-build civil and MEP systems modifications and integration of the exhibits and exhibition fit out elements. We also monitored the quality of design and construction throughout the process. We managed sensitivities around preserving the existing historical architecture while providing an enabling environment for a world-class museum.

The Benefit

By effectively carrying out the role of client liaison, and coordinating between multiple client entities, we were able to be an integral part of bringing this landmark heritage museum to Dubai and the world. From 1896 until 1958, it served as the residence of the ruling family. From generation to generation, the vision and the values of the Al Maktoum family members have transformed a small maritime settlement into the thriving metropolis that we know today. But this pavilion’s story is not one of building a nation; it provides a personal picture of the ruling family including elements of their daily life and their inspiring individuality.
