4SPACE has been leading innovative interior design in the United Arab Emirates for over 15 years. Founding partners Firas Alsahin and Amjad Hourieh have provided unique space design solutions to various retail, commercial, hospitality, living and exhibition spaces throughout the city. They have a seamless and intelligent understanding of Dubai’s unique and pioneering landscape.
Their imitable growth leads to Ehab Alhariri joining 4SPACE to shape the new architectural division. His superior experience has seen him work on various projects with world-famed Emaar, Dubai properties, Wasl, and Hilton. Alhariri was the lead architect for the largest Hampton by Hilton Hotel in the world. It had 420 keys and an impressive Work-Zone close to Dubai’s International Airport in preparation for Expo 2020.
Alhariri is excited about forging an exciting collaboration with Firas Alsahin and Amjad Hourieh. They had inspired him since he was an architectural student. “I worked with them when I was just a second-year architecture student back in 2003. They are some of the most creative interior designers I’ve ever met, so it is a no brainer to join forces with them knowing that we can create something special”.
Alhariri has already worked in the Middle East and will return from the United States, bringing with him award-winning international experience. His futuristic sustainable mountain pod has earned him global recognition for pushing boundaries and intentionally using his design capabilities that integrate art and science. Alhariri is enthusiastic about going beyond limits in Dubai and exploring different shapes and forms to create unique buildings that incorporate feasibility, efficiency, and originality. He says, “I am most excited about the opportunity of making great architecture in one of the most unique cities on earth”.
4SPACE has already blossomed into one of the region’s most respected firms, boasting extensive practical knowledge. It has created environments that leave an impression on its users. Their goal has always been to satisfy their clients by delivering quality, innovative architectural, interior design, and space design solutions for every application.
Co-Founder Firas Alsahin talks about the introduction of architectural design to their armoury of offerings, “I always had a passion for Architecture, and you can see this in our interiors, always loved complex and parametric elements which we incorporated in our projects. Due to the demand for unique architecture in a city like Dubai and our evolution, we decided that we want to leave a mark on the iconic architectural scene. Since Architecture and interior are inline, we thought it would be an added value for 4SPACE”.
He continues, “Ehab will be the principal architect leading the architecture operations of 4SPACE and will help develop the group’s expansion in the region. We will be supporting him with our experience and take on any design and business aspect. Yet, we will leave the flow of creativity limitless and help his visions come alive”.
Recognised as one of the finest interior design companies in Dubai, 4SPACE prides itself on the ability to blend light and space with delicate, well-considered features to create a memorable aesthetic. The firm understands that great spaces make great businesses. Amjad Hourieh says, “Restructuring the company and moving forward to the next level; it’s an opportunity for global and regional exposure. What we are trying to achieve is to develop our capabilities and close the gap between making a good design and the reality in the execution”.
4SPACE and the team are continuously innovating interior design and understand the unique challenges of designing in Dubai. The skills of the talented and diversified team of professionals meet any challenges that they face. The introduction of Ehab Alhariri to 4SPACE will increase the ability to introduce and execute challenging projects that the firm has not achieved before. Alsahin explains, “Our architecture design approach is not only to meet the needs and requirements of our clients and local authorities, but also to exceed the expectations by creating innovative, unique designs that implement the principles of sustainability, aesthetics, and efficiency”.
4SPACE is considerate and intimately works with each of their clients to generate a comprehensive plan using physical models and mock-ups. The designers examine the context of every space and deliver innovative solutions. They are intrinsically involved with the local design community and are looking forward to the unveiling of their installation at Dubai Design Week in November, amongst others.
Both founding partners are excited about Ehab Alhariri joining 4SPACE to increase their offerings and design architecturally and aesthetically. Hourieh says, “I believe architecture and interior designers should work together in creative design for each project, increase diversity and develop capabilities.”
