WASL Tower, Dubai

Throwback to 2019 - when we got to collaborate with UNStudio on the WASL Tower in Dubai.

At the time, we had no idea what kind of doors that project would open. It felt huge - not just because of the tower itself, but because it was our first serious step into a completely new region. What started as a single high-profile job quickly turned into something much bigger.

Over the next few years, we found ourselves deep in the world of Middle Eastern architecture - working behind the scenes on some of the most ambitious projects out there. From large-scale residential and cultural developments to stuff we’re still under NDA for. (The kind of work where you render half a mountain and then never get to show it.)

One of the highlights was being involved in visual development for parts of the NEOM project - which is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about architectural experiments of the decade.

Looking back, it’s wild how much that one collaboration shifted our direction.
