Why Merci

Why clients choose a small practice over larger architecture firms in Dubai

Clients choose us for more than beautiful interiors. Here’s what makes our approach different — from working directly with your designer to delivering detailed, Dubai-specific design solutions built to last

Architecture and interiors under one roof

Designed together, so nothing is lost between two firms

Restraint as a method

We design for permanence — edited gestures, honest materials, refined finishes

You work with the designer

No account layer between you and the person drawing

Documentation you own

A coordinated package, usable by any qualified team

We take fewer projects

Deliberately. Attention is the product.

Before & After

What we show you is what you get

We visualise every space before it is built. Drag the handle to compare the visualisation we presented with the finished room.

Selected works

Apartments designed in Dubai

Studios, one-beds and family apartments — where joinery and lighting do most of the work.

A note from the founder

I did not want to choose between architecture and interiors

They are the same conversation — where the light enters, how a room is entered, what you see when you turn a corner.

Splitting that conversation between two firms is how projects lose their coherence. A building gets designed, then rooms get decorated inside it, and the result is a house that photographs well and lives badly.

We keep both in one studio. Fewer projects, more attention, and one person accountable for whether the whole thing holds together.

When you book a consultation, you speak to me. Bring the plot, the plan or the problem, and I will give you an honest view of what it needs — including whether we are the right practice for it.

PREMIUM MATERIALS

Materials Chosen to Last

We select materials for their beauty, quality and longevity — considering how they will look, feel and perform over time within Dubai’s climate.
 

Stone & surfaces

Marble, travertine and quartz specified for the room's real use — sealed, edged and detailed properly.

Timber & veneer

European oak, walnut and custom veneers, selected for humidity stability in this climate.

Metal & hardware

Brushed brass, blackened steel and bronze; European hardware that still closes softly in year five.

Premium Wood Options

Walnut, oak, teak, and custom veneers. Crafted by specialist carpenters for staircases, wardrobes, and bespoke furniture.

What does an architecture firm in Dubai charge?
Architectural design fees are typically based on project area, complexity and the stages of work required. We give you an honest range in your complimentary 30-minute consultation, once we understand the plot, the brief and the scope.
Yes — residential and commercial. Recent work includes private villas and a café interior in Dubai.
Where a project requires authority submission or engineering certification, we coordinate with licensed consultants and produce the design documentation they submit from. We will explain exactly who is responsible for what before the project starts.
Often, yes. Bring the existing drawings and we will tell you honestly what can be carried forward, what needs redrawing, and whether changing practice at this stage is actually in your interest.
Yes. High-quality visualisation is one of our five services and can be commissioned independently of a full design engagement.
It depends on scale and stage. A concept and feasibility study is usually a matter of weeks; a full design package for a private villa typically runs to a few months.
We call you within one business hour on working days, discuss the project, and schedule your consultation — at our Business Bay studio, on site, or by video call.
