Occupying half of the 27th floor of the 81-story Uptown Tower, Bishop Design has transformed a shell and core office into a sanctuary of productivity, with a refined touch. Bishop Design has  seamlessly integrated luxurious hospitality elements into the company’s corporate spaces.

The  Metdist DMCC office’s design features a sophisticated neutral colour palette, with soft cream tones enhanced by black accents and tan nuances, creating an ambiance of serene focus. Natural light floods the interiors through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and clear partitions, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor environments to enhance cognitive stimulation and promote a sense of openness and spaciousness. “These windows not only provide stunning views of the cityscape and the highly coveted Jumeirah Islands residential neighbourhood but also foster connectivity and transparency within the workplace,” said Mnuara Zubaidildayeva, Studio Manager and Designer for Bishop Design.

Upon entering the Metdist DMCC office, a blend of modern design elements and luxurious finishes greets visitors. The walls adorned with timber, brass, and marble coverings exude an aura of high-end hospitality, setting the tone for what lies beyond. Integrating transparent elements alongside the rich textures and materials stresses an ambiance reminiscent of a luxurious hotel lobby, elevating the office environment beyond conventional corporate settings.

The heart of the office, the conference room, captivates with its sleek natural wood finish table and ergonomic cream leather chairs, illuminated by avant-garde chandeliers that add a touch of modern elegance and warmth. Artistic abstract pieces complement the ambiance.

Efficient resource management was central to the project, with Bishop Design repurposing much of Metdist’s existing furniture while integrating fresh additions seamlessly. This approach not only reduces waste but also highlights the firm’s dedication to sustainable design practices and impeccable craftsmanship.

Every aspect of the Metdist DMCC office, from executive offices and communal areas to specialised IT and storage rooms, reflects Bishop Design’s meticulous planning. Homely elements such as plush furnishings and live plants further enrich each space, imbuing a sense of tranquillity and creating a relaxed atmosphere conducive to productivity. Incorporating cutting-edge technology, including a smart system controlled via mobile app, ensures optimal user comfort and energy efficiency, further enhancing the office’s functionality.

With the completion of the Metdist DMCC office, Bishop Design continues to challenge conventional expectations, demonstrating their commitment to blending aesthetic elegance with functional excellence.
