Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 26, 2023: The Opus by OMNIYAT designed by Zaha Hadid.

Iconic Zaha Hadid Projects in the UAE

Explore Zaha Hadid’s iconic architectural projects in the UAE, from Dubai's stunning Opus building to the Sheikh Zayed Bridge and BEEAH headquarters.

Born in Baghdad, Zaha Hadid trained in London at the Architectural Association, and it was in London that she later established her practice. For much of her early career, her reputation rested less on buildings than on paintings, drawings and competition entries. Recognition came regardless, and in 2004 she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

The Best Interior Design Companies for Emirates Hills

Discover top interior design companies for Emirates Hills mansions. Find experts for luxury villa renovations & new builds.

One of Emirates Hills’ clearest lessons predates today’s appetite for larger mansions. In 2003, Hopkins Architects&nbsp;completed 20 villas for Emaar and Frayland Construction, ranging from approximately 6,000 to 9,000 square feet. Each centred on a majlis, while an arcaded route kept family and reception rooms apart from kitchens and service areas. The architecture was restrained, and the household plan did the heavy lifting.

Craft, Legacy and Gold Leaf: A Conversation with Roberto Molon

Discover Francesco Molon's legacy with Roberto Molon. Explore exquisite Italian furniture, gold leaf artistry, and timeless craftsmanship.

There are furniture houses, and then there are institutions. Francesco Molon — founded in Venice in 1966 by the craftsman whose name it bears — belongs firmly in the latter category. Born of the Veneto's centuries-old tradition of decorative artisanship, the brand has spent six decades producing pieces that occupy a rarified space between furniture and fine art: hand-carved frames dressed in gold leaf, dining tables in Macassar ebony, chairs inlaid with mother-of-pearl, cabinetry set with abalone and onyx. These are not objects made for showrooms. They are made for presidential palaces, grand hotels, and the private residences of those for whom only the singular will do.

James von Klemperer: The Architect Behind Atlantis The Royal

Discover James von Klemperer, the mastermind behind Dubai's Atlantis The Royal. Explore his unique approach to ambitious architecture.

James von Klemperer’s name may not be as widely known outside architecture as the buildings he has helped shape, but his work includes some of the most ambitious urban projects of recent decades. As President and Principal of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, better known as KPF, his career has moved between individual towers and the planning of entire districts, with major hotel and civic commissions in between. Across these different scales, von Klemperer returns to the way large buildings relate to their surroundings and the people who use them. At Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, that approach takes a distinctive form.

Fernando Donis, the Architect Who Framed Dubai

Explore Fernando Donis, the architect behind Dubai Frame. Discover his unique approach to architecture and his influential projects in Dubai and beyond.

Long before it became one of Dubai’s most recognisable landmarks, the Dubai Frame was a competition idea by Fernando Donis. The proposal was disarmingly simple. Instead of adding another tower to a skyline already crowded with them, it offered a frame through which old and new Dubai could be seen.

Roman Vnoukov: From Jewellery Boutiques to Branded Residences

Explore Roman Vnoukov's design journey: from Manhattan jewellery boutiques to Dubai's branded residences. Discover his craft-driven approach.

Roman Vnoukov’s career has taken shape in the more private rooms of architecture and design, including residences, boutiques, restaurants and branded interiors made for clients with a clear sense of what they want to project. His public record does not follow the usual architectural path of competitions, civic buildings and museum retrospectives. It belongs instead to a more client-led world, where design has to carry identity with discipline, from a Manhattan jewellery house to a branded residential tower in Dubai.

Tom Wright: The Architect of the Burj Al Arab and Beyond

Tom Wright: The Burj Al Arab architect who shaped Dubai. Explore his iconic designs & enduring legacy in modern architecture.

Tom Wright’s name is tied, above all else, to the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, and that alone gives him a particular place in modern architecture. Around the world, only a select few architects design a building that becomes shorthand for a city; fewer still create one whose outline can be recognised at a glance, even from a long way off. Wright’s place in modern architecture rests on that achievement, shaped by a clear idea, technical nerve, commercial purpose and a strong sense of place.

Adrian Smith: The Architect Behind Some of the World’s Most Recognised Landmarks

Explore Adrian Smith's iconic architectural designs, from Burj Khalifa to city-defining landmarks. Discover his influence on modern skyscrapers.

Adrian Smith is often introduced through the modern supertall tower. That is understandable, but it is not the whole story. Over a career spanning more than five decades, the Chicago-born architect has worked on towers, hotels and civic schemes that test how very large buildings should take their place in a city. Burj Khalifa in Dubai remains his best-known commission, not least because of its height, but it sits within a wider body of work that includes Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, Central Park Tower in New York, FKI Tower in Seoul, Waldorf Astoria Beijing, Al Wasl Plaza in Dubai and the still-unfinished Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia.
