Studio City, Dubai, UAE - 2017

The vibrant 19,900 square foot (1,850 square meter), multi-level broadcast environment at MBC Studios, is home to diverse programming spanning news, sports, children’s shows, and daytime content.

The design seamlessly integrates three broadcast venues connected by a dramatic spiral staircase with an integrated media display, linking studios via a mezzanine level. Key features include a suspended catwalk bridge, a demonstration kitchen, a double-height LED vista wall, and a star-shaped social media display tower that intersects all studios, creating a dynamic, interconnected facility.

Beyond the studios, the scope encompasses three renovated floors of editorial office space, with private offices, hot-desk workstations, conference areas, editorial suites, a café, and a secure main lobby - all designed to foster collaboration and creativity.

Inspired by classic Islamic mashrabiya patterns, the design embraces the geometry of tessellation, reflecting repeated patterns that unify the complex’s visual identity
