Sound familiar?
Most of what goes wrong in an office is decided before a single wall goes up.
You agree a price, then the extras start. With us, you know our full design fee before we start. No surprises.
The floor looked big enough until the desks went in. With us, a free survey shows what actually fits before you sign the lease.
Your designer, contractor and building manager do not talk to each other, and every problem lands on you. With us, one studio handles the design and coordinates the site until the work is done.
Anything missing from the drawings becomes an extra charge once work starts. With us, your contractor gets drawings they can price and build from without guessing.
The work takes over the floor and your team cannot work. With us, it is phased wherever the building allows, so the office keeps running.
You never know when the office will be ready. With us, you get a programme as soon as we see the floor plan, worked back from your move-in date.

You receiveAdvice on what is possible, our first ideas for your office, and a clear next step.
Our approach
An office has many areas, and each one has its own needs. We plan every area of the office design in detail before work starts, so nothing is left to guess on site.
The first thing a client sees and where your staff arrive every morning. We design the desk so it works for the person sitting at it every day.
Desk spacing, circulation routes and where the noise ends up. We plan for the number of people who can work there comfortably.
How many you need, how big, and what sits on the wall. Rooms that are too large for two people are the most common waste on an office floor.
Where they sit against the glazing, and how much daylight the open floor keeps. Then whether the walls run to the ceiling or stop short so the air can move.
Where people eat, make coffee and talk without disturbing the floor. Plumbing and extraction decide where this can go, so we fix it early.
Easy to forget and hard to fix later. We decide the cabling, cooling and where the printer goes before the layout is signed off.

Our story
We founded Conceptor in Dubai in 2021 to design architecture, interiors and landscape as one process. When one team tests the fit, designs the space and draws it properly, you know what the floor holds before you sign the lease.
Today we are an award-winning studio. Our architects, interior designers, visual artists and strategists work with private clients and developers across the MENA region. Every office starts with how your team actually works, and every drawing follows it.

FAQ
Our focus is the design, from the first concept to construction-ready drawings. We work alongside the fit out contractor you choose, and we stay involved on site until the work is finished.
The price depends on the state the floor is handed over in, how many enclosed rooms you need and the finish level. Furniture moves it again, and so does working around a team that stays in the building. We do not publish a price list. Send us the floor plan and your headcount, and we will come back with a fee.
Yes, and the survey is free. We measure the floor and plan it against your headcount, so you know how many desks, meeting rooms and quiet spaces it really holds before you commit. In the industry this is called a test fit. It can stop you signing a lease on the wrong floor.
We give you a programme once we have seen the floor plan. The time depends on the size and on how many enclosed rooms you need. The build after it depends on your contractor. We work back from your move in date.
Sometimes, with the work phased and the rest of the floor sealed off. It costs more and takes longer than an empty floor, because most of the loud work has to happen outside office hours. We will tell you which yours is.
Most Dubai buildings set their own rules on what you may change and which contractors may work there. Some walls and services cannot move. We find out what your building allows before we design, not after.
Yes, office renovation and refurbishment is most of what we are asked for. Reworking a floor you already occupy is a different job from starting on a bare one. The timeline has to work around people still using the space.
Yes, and we do it often. We handle the interior design and the drawings, and we coordinate with whoever is already on the project. We issue a set they can price and build from, then stay on site through the work.
Before you sign the lease. A free survey shows whether the floor holds your team. On a floor you already use, start once you know your headcount for the next few years, so the layout still works as the team grows.
Ask to see offices they have designed, and ask what the drawings include. A full set lets your contractor price the work without guessing. Check that they stay involved on site until the work is finished, and that you know the full design fee before you start.
