A good office fit-out in Dubai can be ruined by one simple thing: windows you can’t control.

Glare on screens. Harsh sunlight in meeting rooms. Privacy issues when the building opposite is basically eye-level. And then there’s the impression factor. Clients notice when your space feels unfinished, or when the blinds look like they were installed in a hurry.
