Home First reformed the Dubai Building Code to give Emirati families more flexible, expandable homes — permitting side annexes, separate villas for adult children and larger extensions.

It was framed within Dubai’s Year of Community and its broader social agenda.

A building code rewritten around how Emirati families actually grow.
