Interior architecture, since 1994.
Idea Art Interior Architects (IAIA) is an interior architecture and design studio in Dubai Design District, founded in 1994. Since then we have completed more than 320 projects in 12 countries — 210 residential, 42 hotels and 69 restaurants, offices and commercial spaces — with recognition including the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2023 (Best Luxury Interior Design Firm) and a DNA Paris Design Awards 2025 win for Villa Yakro Hotel & Resort (see all awards). We have shaped homes, villas, hotels, restaurants and workplaces across the region and beyond — taking each project from the first concept to the last detail on site.
We work as interior architects: we start from the idea and the structure of a space, then build its materials, light and details around the way people will live in it.

Nine colleagues who never sleep.
Our studio works alongside its own AI team. They handle the background work — schedules, deadlines, contracts, accounts, awards, our website and social channels — so our designers can spend their time on design.
