Dina Murali

DZ Design is a Dubai-based architecture and interior design studio recognised for redefining luxury living across hospitality and multi-residential developments in the MENA and African regions.

DZ Design has secured several prestigious hospitality project wins, including Chadun Living in Riyadh, KSA. A frequent speaker on hospitality design panels, Murali brings a thoughtful perspective to the industry, blending creativity, comfort, and refined sophistication in every project. Her design philosophy is rooted in people-centric thinking that spaces must not only function seamlessly and look beautiful but also embody the brand’s narrative and create meaningful experiences. Murali is originally an architect and finds herself working on more interior design projects. “While working in architecture, the speed with which decisions were made in interiors really inspired me. Starting from flooring, wiring, HVAC to final finishing – all had to be planned swiftly in comparison to architecture of a building which would take years to build. Interior design literally took just months.”

Completed projects by DZ Design include the newly refurbished Pullman JLT, Gobi restaurant in The Ritz-Carlton RAK, a five-star ski resort in Azerbaijan, the Mövenpick Hotel in Dubai Healthcare City, and multiple residential towers in Business Bay and Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The studio’s award-winning work spans the hospitality and wellness sectors, including Amaseena at The Ritz-Carlton JBR, Sunny Wellness Spa in Sharjah Healthcare City, VEO gyms by Emaar, Semi-Sweet in Sharjah, and a series of high-end private villas, alongside large-scale commercial developments.
