Spearheaded by award winning Architects and co-founders John Assael and Russell Pedley, the practice has grown remarkably in recent years under John’s leadership. John has appeared on the judging panel during Cityscape 2008 and has also consulted on various projects under development in the region.

Assael Architecture has considerable expansion plans for the practice in this region. Most notably in these plans is the announcement of a new office of architects and master planners in the region, specialising in large mixed use developments, with a large residential and hotel component. It is expected to open in 2016. Another element of Assael’s expansion into the UAE region will include investor assistance for those seeking investment opportunities in London.

John Assael commented: “Dubai is one of the most dynamic and innovative cities in the world which is currently undergoing an exciting period of growth. With a world stage reflecting an eclectic blend of nationalities and cultures through its design we are delighted to announce that Assael Architecture will be part of this exciting and evolving landscape.”

Operating from modern design studios in London, Assael Architecture works nationally and internationally in the residential, leisure and mixed-use sectors. With over 30 years’ experience running his own practice, John’s dedication to designing and building better places extends beyond his own work and practice. He has been a judge for the RIBA Regional Awards, What House Awards and WAN Awards and continues to search for and reward examples of good design year on year.
