The founder of 4SPACE talks about his work and design achievements.

Can you let us know about the latest exciting projects that you are working on?

We’re thrilled to be working on several exciting projects across different sectors. At the Taj Hotel in Dubai, we’re designing three distinct F&B outlets, each with its own unique vibe and culinary story. We’re also creating an extraordinary pan-Asian dining experience at one of Jumeirah Group’s iconic hotels, blending a rich narrative with immersive design. On the leisure front, we’re designing a mystical beach club that redefines the boundaries of luxury and escapism.

Additionally, Huawei is one of our esteemed clients, and we’re working on a major corporate office project for them, reflecting their forward-thinking vision and global innovation. One of the most groundbreaking projects we’re involved in is an immersive theme park powered by AI, where cutting-edge technology and creativity merge to offer visitors a transformative experience. These projects represent our passion for storytelling, innovation, and delivering spaces that leave a lasting impact.

Please mention some of your proudest achievements as a firm (Top 3)

Positioning ourselves as innovative leaders in the industry – Over the years, we’ve established ourselves as one of the most successful and forward-thinking interior design consultancies. Our work goes beyond creativity; it redefines spaces with functionality, sustainability, and cutting-edge innovation.

Expanding our role beyond design – At 4SPACE, we pride ourselves on not only being exceptional designers but also taking on roles as lead consultants and project managers. This holistic approach allows us to oversee projects from concept to completion, ensuring a seamless and impactful delivery every time.

Winning ‘Outstanding New Partner’ by Huawei – This award highlights the trust and recognition we’ve earned from one of the world’s leading technology companies, underscoring our ability to deliver exceptional design solutions on a global scale.

Can you talk about a type of project that you would like to take on in 2025 that would interest you and your team to pursue (dream project that you would like to manifest)?

In 2025, we’d love to manifest a project that integrates architecture, interior design, and cutting-edge technology to create an eco-futuristic city hub. Think of a space where sustainability, AI, and human-centric design converge—a place that’s as functional as it is inspiring. For instance, a multi-use cultural space that includes galleries, performance areas, and interactive installations, designed to be energy-neutral and built with upcycled or regenerative materials. Projects like this not only challenge us creatively but also align with our commitment to creating meaningful, impactful spaces.

How would you describe your ‘house style’ and design philosophy?

Our style is bold, innovative, and story-driven. We love creating unique spaces inspired by the future, cultural stories, or unique parts of the world. It’s about blending aesthetics and functionality in a way that feels fresh and memorable. We always seek to design with a forward-thinking mindset that embraces immersive and smart solutions. Ultimately, our philosophy revolves around crafting spaces that evoke emotion, spark conversation, and make a lasting impression.

As this is the power issue, what empowers you and your team?

Our empowerment stems from our collaborative spirit and the relationships we’ve built—within our team, with clients, and the wider design community. Seeing how our designs transform spaces and lives keeps us inspired. We’re also driven by the ever-evolving nature of design, constantly learning and adapting, whether it’s through AI tools, smart practices, or groundbreaking concepts. Finally, our shared belief in creativity as a force for change empowers us to push limits and continue shaping the future of design.
