Architecture + Other Things is an award winning architecture and design studio based in Sharjah, U.A.E and founded in 2015. We provide services in architecture, interior design, product design, design research, graphic design, and creative education consulting.

How We Work

We integrate practice and research to develop innovative and culturally conscious design solutions that are rooted in their surrounding material, visual, and cultural environments.

We believe that architecture and design are forms of material and cultural production. As such, we employ a context-driven methodology that integrates digital tools, emergent technologies, materials research and cultural imaginaries.

Our team comprises expertise in architecture, computational design, product design, materials research, urban design, construction and project management. We also believe in cross-disciplinary research and collaborate with experts including artists, builders, landscape architects, anthropologists and economists.

We work with private and institutional partners that share our vision for innovative attitudes towards better built and natural environments.

Why We Engage

We aim to produce projects that drive innovative and culturally conscious architecture and design in the region, and challenge the limitations of conventional ideas about the built environment.
