Arch Studio — architecture, interiors and renovation in Dubai

About ARCH STUDIO

ARCH STUDIO is a Dubai practice founded by an architect who studied and worked in Italy. That background shows up less in style than in method: massing tested in sequence rather than settled in one pass, envelopes specified to measured values, and junctions drawn before they are built.

The work runs from villa architecture and interior architecture through residential renovation, sustainable design and coordination on site. It is deliberately one connected process: the model that persuades a client is the same model that produces the construction information, so what gets approved is what gets built.

Projects here span Dubai, Italy and Iran. What holds them together is a preference for spatial quality over decoration, and for buildings that perform in the climate they actually stand in.

Projects across Dubai, Italy and Iran, spanning residential design, renovation and environmentally led concepts.
