‘Ateliers Bacha Architects’ is an international architecture and design atelier based in Dubai with projects across the Middle East. The studio thrives on diversity—not just in its team, but in the styles, shapes, materials, and colours it explores. Its founder, Hassan Bacha, brings a cosmopolitan perspective influenced by his Lebanese, French, and Yemenite heritage. This diversity inspires designs that celebrate cultural values while integrating contemporary innovation. “Diversity is the foundation of creativity. Our designs honor tradition while embracing the future.”
At Ateliers Bacha Architects, the science of human interaction with the built environment is central to every project. The studio believes in architecture’s power to drive positive psychological effects, shaping spaces that enhance well-being and foster meaningful interactions. Drawing on concepts from environmental psychology, the team explores how materials, layouts, and even light can influence mood and behavior, creating spaces uniquely tailored to their users.
Ateliers Bacha Architects follows a client-centric philosophy, where the sentiment and aesthetic vision of the client are central to the design process. “Architecture should use the heart of the client and the eyes of an architect,” says Hassan, emphasising the atelier’s commitment to personalised and collaborative design.
