Asharq News Headquarters
DIFC, Dubai, UAE - 2020
At the heart of the Dubai International Finance Centre, Asharq News Headquarters pulses with activity and purpose. The building’s design connects four floors through a new, dramatic atrium that floods the space with light and movement. Spanning 57,000 square feet (5,300 square meters), this expansive media hub merges cutting-edge broadcast technology with bold architecture, embodying Asharq News’s role as a leading Pan-Arab voice for a young, sophisticated Middle Eastern audience.
The program is a carefully organized arrangement of high-performance newsrooms, editorial offices, briefing rooms, and broadcast studios interlaced seamlessly with high-tech infrastructure zones. Materials, lighting, space and transparency orchestrate a balance between the rapid pace of news production and moments of focused calm. Collaboration thrives in every corner, whether among journalists in the newsroom or technical teams behind the scenes.
More than a workplace, Asharq News Headquarters stands as a symbol of cultural influence and technological excellence, projecting the network’s vision on the global stage.
