We are pleased to announce the appointment of internationally acclaimed Lisbon-based studio, Aires Mateus, as lead architect for our upcoming residential development in Dubai South, marking the practice’s first project in the UAE.
Founded by Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus, the Pessoa Prize-winning practice is recognised for its disciplined approach to architecture, shaped by clarity, proportion, and a deep understanding of space, light and materiality.
This appointment reflects Al Ghurair Development’s continued collaboration with globally respected architects to deliver purposefully designed homes.
The new Dubai South development will offer a collection of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, including duplex homes. Further details will be shared closer to launch.
This project forms part of Al Ghurair Development’s growing premium residential portfolio which includes The Weave in JVC, an upcoming development near The Wilds and Al Barari, and Wedyan on Dubai Canal under the Al Ghurair Collection super-prime brand.
