Working in the Middle East since the 1990s, DP Architects’ successful design and completion of The Dubai Mall, a landmark project that developed the city into a global hub, enabled us to establish a foothold in the United Arab Emirates. Our Dubai office functions as a base from which to serve the region while reaching new markets in MENA countries. We have been able to achieve this progressively and have expanded our portfolio of works to include projects in the neighbouring Abu Dhabi, Jordan and Qatar. The footprints of our works now extend to international territories such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Across the Middle East, we have built a significant portfolio of works covering a multitude of project types from retail to residential, commercial to hospitality, and large-scale complex to city-scale master plans.
Passion is what sets DP apart – our indomitable can-do spirit enables us to overcome challenges to deliver excellent and economically successful design projects to our clients. The common thread tying these varied projects together is our continuous commitment to good design that responds to local conditions and specific requirements of our clients. Our creative edge lies in the breadth and depth of our design experience, our relentless pursuit for excellence and constant questioning of the status quo; allowing us to gain fresh insights, see the big picture, and focus on the users in our design solutions. Led by a team of diverse professionals, we work on the design and management of projects. This includes concept design, architectural consultancy as well as project coordination between industry players.
The Dubai office, together with our other international offices, functions as One Global Studio – tapping into the skills and knowledge of our 10 specialist companies, DPA brings a multidisciplinary approach that is tailored to the needs of each project and the demands of each client.
