Dewan Architects + Engineers
Dewan Architects + Engineers has been at the forefront of the Middle East's booming architectural design sector for nearly four decades. They are a collective of architects, engineers, designers, planners, builders, makers, thinkers, and visionaries. The multidisciplinary award-winning team designs and constructs projects that redefine skylines, connect locals and visitors to cultural icons, and drastically raise the bar for sustainability.
Since establishing their first office in Abu Dhabi in 1984, Dewan has been integral in imagining diverse landscapes, enhanced cities, and suburban communities throughout the Middle East. Their projects include The Address Fountain Views, a spectacular mixed-use residential development intrinsic in Dubai's skyline with four resplendent hospitality and residential towers conjoined at the podium level of Dubai Mall expansion. The three-tiered, 60- meter wide vehicular and retail bridge connects to the existing iconic Dubai Mall.
Mamsha Al Saadiyat is a luxurious nine-building waterfront residential community that is part of the world-class cultural and residential masterplan that also houses The Louvre, The Guggenheim, and Sheikh Zayed Museums. Dewan is also an active participant and supports some of the key projects in the extraordinary Saudi Vision 2030. It's an ambitious initiative that aims to modernize and diversify Saudi Arabia's economy, focusing on sustainable development.

The company operates in dozens of countries that span Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with ten principal offices in Abu Dhabi, Baghdad, Barcelona, Basra, Cairo, Dubai, Manila, Riyadh, Sharjah, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Dewan has been widely recognized by the finest influential publications and won numerous industry awards. They continually highlight and encourage an architect's role to create thriving societies.
Dewan undertakes corporate social responsibility through initiatives such as the Dewan Award for Architecture. Founded in 2018, it provides a gateway for architects globally to propose designs to help solve social issues in Iraq and enhance their architectural skills through gaining paid internships with Dewan Architects + Engineers. Held in association with the Tamayouz Excellence Award, the 2022 award challenged people to design a Baghdad rehabilitation center for terrorism victims, with submissions received from 34 countries.
