INSIGHT

The Workshop Design Consultancy is a free zone company (FZC) based in Dubai and led by Ghaith Ghantous as managing principal. The practice is comprised of leading professionals in Architecture, Interior Design, and Project Management who collaborate on a project basis, and the focus is on collective design consciousness tailored to suit the individual project.

The design philosophy, and the name of the practice, is derived from the approach used at workshop meetings; an exploration of ideas and solutions specific to the project and its context. The explorations pursue the project’s creative and technical requirements throughout the project’s life cycle, so that unique opportunities are addressed and a holistic and integrated design approach is applied.  Emphasis is on creative expression and impact of spatial quality.

The project management division oversees the planning, organization, and management of the design process to ensure the documentation is on time, accurate, up to current standards, and coordinated between the various disciplines. This expertise is also extended to include managing the execution of project works towards a compliant and timely handover.
