Our team, after spending 9 years living and working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have built a strong affinity with the 'place'. Experience gained during this period and our desire to continue to have an impact on the development of the urban environment, within which we live has inspired us to conceptualize and realized our vision for Aperture Design Studio. Similar to the aperture mechanism

in a camera, our company's vision is to assist our clients, capture their ideas, filter and embellish them and provide a clear design solution in response to their project vision.

Can’t wait to surf this!

Making waves in the capital is the news that this huge new artificial surf facility, the biggest (and raddest) of its kind in the world, will open in Abu Dhabi later this year. For all the sweet deets, hang ten on our gnarly link in bio. 🤟

Old 'S-Cool' collage, using some IPAD 'tricks' and a variety of layers. Love the way the layering of media, really brings this piece alive. Actually, the artwork for one of our Design Reports covers!

Came across these scanned images as I was looking through some of our project files.

We at Aperture Design Studios take pride in the team’s design visualization skills, making sure that it forms an integral part of EVERY project’s initial thought process. In this day and age, when project design delivery is saturated with flashy 3D renders and advanced modelling software, we believe that the fastest and still most effective way to communicate design is to start with pen and paper. 3D renders and Models are exceptionally good tools to analyze and interpret what was conceptualized in the ‘messy’ tables during charrettes and design workshops. We are proud to say that the ADS team has gone through the process since day one.

I remember having a discussion with a friend and colleague, Luke Maiden in the early stages of this very popular project, talking about ‘what the team can achieve in a few days?’... I guess the rest is history.
