2. Roar
97/100BEST OF score
Our verdict
Roar sits at number 2 because it handles both architecture and interiors under one roof.
- Commercial, hospitality, and workplace projects with a strong narrative
BEST OF editorial
Founded in 2013 by architect Pallavi Dean, the studio designs the building and the space inside it. This differs from Bishop Design or Muse, which focus mainly on the interior layer. The scope covers a 1,475 sqm Jaipur Rugs showroom in Mumbai. It also includes the DIFC Innovation One and Dubai AI Campus. These projects show a range that pure interior studios do not match. The studio works across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh for clients like Oliver Wyman.
It is the pick for clients who need a single team for the whole build. The portfolio spans hospitality, education, and corporate workplaces. You get one point of contact for the structure and the finish. This removes the gap between the architect and the designer. It suits projects where the building shape drives the interior layout. The studio is based in Dubai but operates across the region. It is not a residential-only practice. It is a full-service architecture and interior design firm.

Co-founders Michael Dudnyk and Stanislava Rudas-Dudnyk established the studio in 2007. They do not reuse layouts from previous projects. This differs from Algedra, which focuses on turnkey execution, and Zen Interiors, which targets contemporary villas. Muse builds each residential space specifically for the client’s brief. The design team provides 3D walkthroughs instead of static sketches. This lets you see the room before construction begins.
It removes guesswork from the planning stage. Choose Muse if you want a custom villa or penthouse design. The studio handles Dubai Municipality and DCD permits for you. This saves time on administrative tasks. Note that they work throughout the UAE, not just in Dubai. Their portfolio includes a 6 bedroom villa in DubaiHills. They also designed a W Residence apartment in Palm Jumeirah. These projects show their range in high-end residential work.

BEST OF editorial
Since 2003, the studio has delivered hundreds of projects across the UAE, with no commercial or hospitality portfolio to dilute its attention. iProperty Media notes that the team adopts a contextual approach, subtly weaving cultural references and indigenous materials into each design rather than applying a generic template. This is the pick for owners who want a home that feels specific to its location and its inhabitants, not a showroom. The firm’s turnkey model extends to the smallest details, including sourcing plates, crockery, and cutlery, so the client can move in once the project is complete.
This studio suits villa owners and apartment buyers who want a calm, modern aesthetic without managing a supply chain. It is the right choice if you want a designer who works with international brands but also has its own furniture range. Before you book, know that the process starts with a one-on-one consultation to capture your vision. The firm says it delivers projects on time and on budget, a claim iProperty Media backs up in its review of their work.

- Clients wanting integrated architecture and interior design for high-end villas
- Location

BEST OF editorial
Unlike the studios on this list that specialise in hospitality or boutique architecture, this team handles both the architecture and the interiors for high-end residential homes. It is the pick for clients who want a single team to manage the structural and decorative sides of a villa build. The scope covers contemporary homes and integrated design projects, meaning the firm works on the whole space rather than just the furniture and finishes. This approach suits those who need a unified vision from the walls out to the final styling.
It is a strong choice for those who want the architecture and interiors to feel like one continuous piece of work. The firm’s presence in the Design District also places it among other creative studios, which can help with sourcing and collaboration. It is not the only residential specialist here, but it is one of the few that explicitly lists architecture alongside interior design in its core services. This makes it a distinct option for new builds or major renovations where the structure needs to change as well as the look.

BEST OF editorial
Founded by Rania Hamed in 2007, the studio focuses on minimal high-end for villas and apartments. It stands out from the other picks here by using raw materials in a precise way. Dezeen notes the firm’s work on the Orijins coffee shop, where seven uneven marble blocks form the bar. The design mixes smooth and rough edges to create a tactile surface. This is different from the polished finishes seen in many other Dubai studios.
Choose VSHD if you want a home that feels calm and grounded rather than ornate. The studio works on architecture-led residential projects in JLT. Plain Magazine describes the firm as known for style and functionality. The Orijins project shows how they handle small spaces with a desaturated palette of sand, shells, and stone. This approach suits clients who prefer quiet, natural materials over bold colours.
