Dean Elliott launches company addressing gap in health-oriented home design and renovation
Sands Living has launched in the UAE with a focus on integrating wellness into residential construction and renovation. Founded by Dean Elliott, the company addresses what Elliott identifies as a gap in the residential construction market: homes designed to perform in the UAE environment while supporting health and longevity.
Elliott brings over a decade of experience spanning construction and fitness industries. This background shapes Sands Living’s approach to residential projects, combining technical building expertise with knowledge of human performance and recovery.
“While many homes in the region are visually impressive, few are designed to perform optimally in the realities of the UAE environment,” Elliott said. “Factors such as water quality, air circulation, heat, humidity and the absence of dedicated recovery spaces are often overlooked, despite their long-term impact on comfort, health and daily living.”
Sands Living integrates wellness at a foundational level rather than treating it as an aesthetic addition. The company’s projects include advanced water filtration, airflow strategies and recovery environments such as saunas, cold plunges, snow rooms and outdoor wellness zones. Each element is designed as part of a cohesive system.
The company operates around three core principles: quality, delivery and professionalism. These values guide every project, supported by specialist coordination and management.
Elliott positions Sands Living as an innovator in wellness-focused residential living rather than a traditional renovation or development firm. The company delivers environments designed to remain functional and relevant over time.
“Rather than approaching wellness as an optional add-on, we integrate it at a foundational level,” Elliott said. “The result is not a ‘spa-like’ home, but a residence that quietly supports restoration, performance and longevity on a daily basis.”
The company’s guiding principle is “Wellness, Built Into Your Lifestyle.”
Sands Living serves residential clients across the UAE seeking to improve how their homes function in the local environment while supporting long-term health and wellbeing.
