Roar

We are an award-winning interior design studio based in Dubai. Launched in 2013 as Pallavi Dean Interiors, we rebranded to Roar in September 2018. Flagship projects include the Delano Dubai hotel, UAE offices for media firm Edelman, and The Nursery of the Future for the UAE Prime Minister's Office. Our goal is simple : give people an amazing experience in the spaces we design. The staff in an office; the family at home; the children in school; the guests in a restaurant – we wake up and go to work for them. At heart we're a bunch of feel good hippies who put self-help gurus and positive psychologists on the same pedestal as acclaimed architects. We believe this upbeat energy makes a real di erence to the work we deliver. We pour our heart and soul into the local design community. We teach university courses, run an active internship programme, promote local talent (even our rivals!), contribute to design fairs, and share our knowledge through the media. The team of eight designers is based at the Roar studio in Dubai Design District. Awards include Boutique Firm of the Year at the 2017 Commercial Interior Design Awards.
