Who this service is for

Our approach
What we work through together
Understand what is not working
We begin with your concerns and the routines of the people using the space. Crowded circulation, insufficient storage, poor privacy, uncomfortable work areas or underused rooms can have different causes; the brief defines the questions the audit needs to answer. The brief may focus on household privacy, clinic waiting areas, school circulation, guest comfort, dining and service routes, or office focus and collaboration.
Observe the space in use
Within the agreed scope, we review available plans, walk through the space and gather observations and user feedback. Layout, daylight and glare, ventilation, acoustic conditions, furniture and wayfinding may be considered where relevant.
Prioritise useful changes
Findings distinguish straightforward adjustments from changes that require design development or specialist investigation. You receive a basis for deciding what to do first, what information is still needed and whether a renovation is justified.
How to get started
- Send the project location, approximate area and your main priorities.
- Share available plans or photographs, budget expectations and preferred timing.
- Discuss the scope with the Dubai studio and agree the first stage of work.
Projects elsewhere in the Gulf can be discussed with the team; location, access and coordination requirements determine the appointment.
Enquire about space auditYour questions, answered
What is the difference between a Space Audit and interior design?
A Space Audit assesses how an existing space is used and identifies priorities for change. Interior design develops an agreed brief into a design proposal. An audit can help define that brief when the problems or priorities are not yet clear.
What types of property can a Space Audit cover?
It can be scoped for homes and penthouses, small and medium clinics, schools, hotels and other hospitality properties, restaurants, cafés and other food-and-beverage (F&B) spaces, shops and offices. The questions and observations are tailored to the people, activities and priorities involved.
What should I provide before the audit?
Share the location, approximate area, available plans or photographs and the main problems you want to resolve. Access arrangements, user input, the review method and deliverables are agreed before the audit.
Is this a structural survey or compliance certificate?
No. The service is a review of spatial use and design priorities. Structural testing, statutory certification and specialist environmental measurements can be scoped separately where needed.
How much does a Space Audit cost?
The fee and programme depend on the property, information available, access and agreed depth of review. Contact the Dubai studio with these details so the team can define a scope before quoting.
