Design by Roar

Roar is an architecture and interior design studio based in Dubai, founded in 2013 by architect Pallavi Dean. We’ve completed more than 84 projects across the region, including SensAsia Spa at The Kempinski Hotel Dubai, offices for McKinsey & Co., The Nursery of the Future, and a string of luxury private residences.

We’ve been lucky enough to win numerous awards along the way, such as CID Middle East Boutique Design Firm of the Year and global Emerging Designer of the Year at the Frame Awards in Amsterdam.

Our design philosophy is simple: 50% Wild, 50% Tame!

We nurture our wild side — the artistic free spirit that gives a space its wow factor by literally letting our imaginations run wild. The tame side, which is scientific, evidence-based, and data-driven, informs the foundations of our spaces. The magic happens when these two worlds collide.

We don’t design interiors. We create experiences. We’re conscious that people spend 86% of their lives indoors, and we have a huge responsibility to make every minute count. We thrive under this pressure!

Before we draw a line on a page or put a brick in a wall, we think about the lives that will occupy this space. All our designs start with the workers in an office, the family in a home, and the guests in a hotel.
