Where Everyday Life Moves Outdoors

Green Vista's outdoor living spaces are purpose-designed extensions of your indoor environment — where comfort meets refinement.

We've designed 500+ outdoor environments across Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, and Jumeirah Golf Estates — integrating furniture, lighting, materials, and landscape for year-round enjoyment.

Every element—from pergolas and seating to materials and flow—is chosen to create spaces that feel naturally inviting and effortlessly comfortable.

Designed Around How You Live

Our approach balances aesthetics with functionality — creating spaces that feel effortless from the moment you step outside.
Seamless flow from inside to out
Great outdoor living begins indoors. We extend your villa's architecture outside — colors, materials, and sightlines stay connected so everything feels like one continuous space.
Materials that endure Dubai's climate
Finishes built for heat and humidity: powder-coated aluminum, treated timber, granite, concrete, UV-resistant fabrics, non-slip decking — materials that stay cool and require minimal maintenance.
Zones designed around real life
Every outdoor space includes functional zones tailored to your needs: outdoor kitchens and dining, pergola-covered lounges, fire pit areas, kids' play zones, poolside cabanas, and quiet reading nooks.

Integrated Lighting & Atmosphere
All outdoor living spaces include LED lighting designed for evening use—from soft pathway illumination to dramatic accent lighting on pergolas and seating areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.
What materials work best for Dubai's outdoor climate?
FAQ V1 Icon
We specify materials built for heat and humidity: powder-coated aluminum or treated timber for pergolas, granite or concrete for outdoor counters, UV-resistant fabrics for cushions, natural stone or composite decking for flooring, and weather-resistant cushions. All materials are tested for Dubai's summer temperatures (45°C+) and resist fading, cracking, and deterioration.
Q.
Do pergolas provide enough shade in Dubai?
FAQ V1 Icon
Standard pergolas provide partial shade through slatted roofs. For full shade coverage, we add retractable fabric canopies, motorized louvers, climbing plants (green pergolas), or solid roof sections. Gazebos offer complete overhead coverage and are ideal for dining areas or poolside lounges requiring full sun protection.
Q.
How is outdoor lighting controlled?
FAQ V1 Icon
All lighting integrates into smart home systems with control via phone app, voice commands (Alexa, Google), or wall switches. We program lighting scenes (e.g., 'Evening Entertaining,' 'Pathway Only,' 'Dim Ambiance') with dimming, scheduling, and automation. Systems are compatible with existing villa automation or installed as standalone smart controls.
Q.
Can outdoor kitchens be used year-round in Dubai?
FAQ V1 Icon
Yes. We design outdoor kitchens with proper ventilation, shaded coverage (pergolas or gazebos), and positioning to minimize direct sun exposure. For winter months (November-March), outdoor kitchens become ideal entertaining spaces. For summer, we add ceiling fans, misting systems, or position kitchens in naturally shaded areas.
Q.
Which areas of Dubai do you build outdoor living spaces?
FAQ V1 Icon
We design-build outdoor living spaces across all Dubai communities including Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Jumeirah Islands, Meadows, Springs, MBR City District One, Tilal Al Ghaf, Sobha Hartland, and Al Barari. We handle all developer-specific requirements for each community.
Q.
Can you build complete outdoor kitchens in Dubai?
FAQ V1 Icon
Yes. We design-build outdoor kitchens with built-in BBQ grills, serving counters, refrigeration, sinks with running water, storage cabinets, and electrical outlets. Gas lines, electrical connections, and plumbing are integrated during construction. Most kitchens include granite or concrete counters (heat-resistant) with tile or stone backsplashes.
Q.
What outdoor living elements can you design-build?
FAQ V1 Icon
We design-build complete outdoor living environments including pergolas and gazebos, outdoor kitchens and dining areas, fire pits and fire features, poolside lounges and cabanas, outdoor seating zones, covered driveways and carports, courtyards and zen gardens, and integrated LED lighting systems. All elements coordinate with your villa architecture and landscape design.
Q.
Do you handle authority approvals for outdoor structures?
FAQ V1 Icon
Yes, completely. We manage Dubai authority approvals, developer-specific requirements (Emaar, Nakheel, Sobha, etc.), and Owners Association submissions for pergolas, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, and other structures. This is included in our design-build service at no additional cost.
Q.
