With a strong portfolio spanning hospitality, residential and entertainment sectors across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Southeast Asia, Dewan Architects + Engineers is at the forefront of delivering innovative and sustainable projects that leave a lasting impact.

Among the firm’s latest projects, Dewan has unveiled La Mazzoni, a luxury residential development on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, following the success of La Mer by Elie Saab. The latter, in collaboration with the renowned Lebanese couturier, reflects Dewan’s commitment to blending high-end design with cultural sophistication. In Saudi Arabia, the firm is the lead design consultant for the Aquarabia water park in Qiddiya City, set to be the largest water park in the Middle East upon its launch this year.

“Witnessing the opening of two landmark resorts in the Red Sea last year – The St. Regis Red Sea Resort and Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve – was a proud moment for us,” shares Ammar Al Asam, CEO of Dewan Architects + Engineers. Beyond project delivery, Dewan continues to innovate and diversify. The firm has expanded into landscape design and theme park developments, showcased its advancements in AI-augmented BIM and automation at Autodesk University 2024, and acquired a majority stake in Singapore’s DesignLab, bolstering its expertise in hospitality design. Dewan’s design for the flydubai Campus also earned it the best Architecture – Commercial award at the 2024 identity Design Awards.

At its core, Dewan’s philosophy is rooted in creating sustainable, community-focused spaces that resonate with the people they serve. Empowerment drives the firm’s team – whether through adopting emerging technologies, nurturing young talent or fostering a collaborative environment where future leaders can thrive. “By going the extra mile for our clients and investing in innovation and people, we aim to continue setting benchmarks in the industry,” shares Al Assam.
