Dubai Land Department Encourages Property Owners to Join Owners Committees for Enhanced Governance

Published

on

RERA

The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), a subsidiary of Dubai Land Department, invites all property owners residing in jointly owned properties to take the initiative and register for Owners Committees, in lines with the Jointly Owned Property Law in Dubai and with RERA’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and ensure the sustainability of properties in the emirate.

The Owners Committees play a crucial role in empowering property owners and fostering their active involvement in managing residential communities. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of life, ensuring greater comfort and satisfaction for all residents, and aligns seamlessly with Dubai’s forward-thinking vision to optimise the management of jointly owned properties while promoting transparency and accountability in every aspect.

Mohammed Ali Al Badwawi, Acting CEO of RERA, emphasised that automating the registration process for Owners Committees aims to streamline procedures and ensure seamless coordination between Owners’ Committees and management companies: “Owners Committees are an integral part of the emirate’s vision for managing jointly owned properties. They play a crucial role in achieving real estate sustainability by reviewing budgets, prioritising maintenance requirements for buildings and common facilities, and providing feedback on service plans. These committees are not just tools for property management but also serve as a means to promote values of collaboration and community engagement.”

Mohammed Al Dah, Director of the Jointly Owned Properties Management Department at RERA, affirmed that registering in Owners Committees provides property owners with a genuine opportunity to actively participate in decision-making within their residential communities: “These committees play a vital role in safeguarding investments and ensuring the highest levels of efficiency and transparency. We urge all eligible property owners who meet the necessary criteria to take the initiative and register for these committees, as they are fundamental to enhancing project management and the well-being of residents.”

Property owners interested in joining the Owners Committees must meet a set of criteria, including residing in the property, holding a valid UAE ID, providing a certificate of good conduct issued by Dubai Police, and settling all outstanding service fees. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency has clarified that that registration is open until 31 January 2025, with priority given to the first nine registrants. Members will be approved by RERA, and the committee members for each group will be announced in February.

RERA emphasises that this initiative reflects its commitment to upholding integrity and fostering collaboration among all stakeholders in the real estate sector. Owners Committees also present an excellent opportunity for property owners to contribute to building thriving and sustainable communities aligned with the values of innovation and Dubai’s ambitious vision.

THE RETURN OF BROWN: A NEW NEUTRAL FOR INTERIORS WITH MINOTTI

Published

on

Grounded in nature and materiality, brown is returning to interiors as a calming, contemporary neutral.

Brown is re-emerging as one of the defining tones of contemporary interiors. Once associated with the nostalgic interiors of the 1970s, the colour is now being reinterpreted through a more refined lens, introducing depth and material richness to modern living spaces. After several years dominated by pale neutrals and cool greys, designers are increasingly introducing a spectrum of warm brown tones – from deeper shades such as espresso and cocoa to softer hues including caramel, tan and walnut – bringing greater character and contrast to current interior palettes.

Used thoughtfully, brown acts as a versatile neutral within contemporary spaces, adding structure while softening lighter schemes. Layering deeper chocolate tones with caramel or tan shades introduces subtle depth, while softer tones such as off-white or cream keep the composition light and balanced. Accents in bronze or brushed metals, alongside rich woods and textured fabrics, further enhance the layered quality of the palette.

Reflecting this shift, Minotti explores these richer tones across its latest collections. At the Minotti Dubai flagship store in Jumeirah, sculptural seating and refined finishes illustrate how brown tones can shape contemporary interiors.

Sculptural Foundations: Bézier seating system and coffee table

Statement seating is one of the most effective ways to introduce brown into a space. TheBézier seating system by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27 embodies this approach through its fluid, organic silhouette and generous proportions. Inspired by the parametric curves developed by French engineer Pierre Bézier, the sofa’s rounded volumes create a sculptural presence that feels both architectural and inviting.

Upholstered in warm tones, the design anchors the living area while maintaining visual softness. Its modular configuration expands into island-like compositions that encourage relaxed gathering and conversation. Paired with the Bézier coffee table, featuring a Canaletto walnut top in light brown veneer, the composition highlights how brown can extend through both upholstery and natural materials.

Layered Upholstery: Coupé and Libra

Brown tones are equally effective when introduced through layered seating arrangements. The Coupé seating system by Giampiero Tagliaferri reinterprets the aesthetic language of 1960s and 1970s interiors through a contemporary lens. Its overlapping rounded volumes and tone-on-tone stitching emphasise softness and craftsmanship while maintaining the understated elegance characteristic of Minotti.

Also designed by Giampiero Tagliaferri, the Libra armchair introduces a sculptural accent. Inspired by seventies aesthetics, the design is composed of overlapping padded volumes upholstered in leather or fabric, creating a balanced interplay between seat, backrest and headrest.

Architectural Balance: Riley seating system, Andrée and Stage coffee tables

Where softer silhouettes introduce warmth, more architectural pieces bring structure and contrast. The Riley seating system by Hannes Peer reflects this balance through its geometric form and precise detailing, with vertical quilting adding rhythm to the upholstery.

Alongside the seating, the Andrée coffee table, also designed by Hannes Peer, introduces a decorative counterpoint. Inspired by the facades of 1970s Milanese architecture, the design pairs glazed ceramic surfaces with chrome-plated brass trims, adding texture and reflective depth.

The Stage side table further extends the palette through wood and metal finishes, with tops available in Canaletto walnut-stained light brown or glossy Moka lacquer.

A Contemporary Neutral

Far from being a passing trend, brown’s return reflects a broader shift toward interiors that prioritise depth, materiality and balance. When layered thoughtfully through furniture, finishes and textures, the colour introduces a quiet sophistication that feels both timeless and relevant today.
