en.Wedoany.com Reported - Al Ghurair Development has signed Portuguese architecture firm Aires Mateus for its upcoming residential development in Dubai South. The project will offer a mix of one- to three-bedroom units, including duplexes. This appointment marks the international architecture firm's first project in the UAE and continues the developer's strategy of collaborating with internationally recognized architects to deliver residential developments with a clear design intent.

Founded in 1988 by brothers Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus, Aires Mateus has evolved over more than 30 years, with a practice spanning architecture, interiors, product, and graphic design. The studio approaches design through in-depth research into the context of each project, exploring spatial expression within the relationship between the physical and cultural worlds. Sultan Al Ghurair, CEO of Al Ghurair Development, stated, "Each architect we work with is chosen for what they bring uniquely. With Aires Mateus, it's their discipline. For over 30 years, they have focused on precision, proportion, and spatial quality." He noted that this aligns closely with the company's approach in residential development. This collaboration will introduce Aires Mateus's design language to the UAE market for the first time.

For the Dubai South project, Aires Mateus's scope of work includes the design of one- to three-bedroom homes and duplex units, with the full architectural concept currently in development. Founding partner Manuel Aires Mateus said, "We see each project as an opportunity to understand what already exists. The scale of the city, the light, the climate, and the way people move and inhabit space. Architecture begins here." He explained that the residential design approach starts from how the building is experienced from within, that living spaces should offer freedom to residents, and that the quality of a home is determined by proportion, light, and the relationship between inside and outside. He added, "It's not about adding complexity, but clarifying what is important." This project is part of Al Ghurair Development's expanding portfolio of residential developments. The company has previously collaborated with international architectural firms such as Kengo Kuma, Joe Adsett, and Neri&Hu, advancing projects in various areas of Dubai.
