Aperture Design Studio

Aperture Design Studio We are a collaborative group of designers, passionate about improving the environment in which we live.

Our team, after spending 15 years living and working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have built a strong affinity with the 'place'. Experience gained during this period and our desire to continue to have an impact on the development of the urban environment, within which we live has inspired us to conceptualize and realized our vision for Aperture Design Studio. Similar to the aperture mechanis

m in a camera, our company's vision is to assist our clients, capture their ideas, filter and embellish them and provide a clear design solution in response to their project vision.

Sometimes creating moments of wonder that make people laugh is important. Life can be serious; we like to free our creative minds sometimes!

Temporary Activation, in particular in 'hot' climates, is key the successful action of public open spaces. Event type, capacity, servicing & access are all key consideration. A few little test fits, to start to validate these areas spatially.

DESIGN 'everything'.

Team have been imagining some dynamic shades, for a current project.
Now how do we actuate them, sustainably?

Revitalization projects can be pretty cool.
Often, smaller less prominent destinations allow for a little more creatively.
Their 'quirky' nature, facilitates 'freedom'.

A curated yet 'organic' tenant mix.

A big part of what the Studio enjoys doing, is creating multi-functional spaces.
Sometimes, that's creating a place to host or even just 'watch' events!
