The Indispensable Role of Architects in Shaping Our World
By:Jeremy Robinson
Consider a world without architects, a rather chaotic vision, isn’t it?
Imagine structures with lopsided walls, staircases that abruptly end, and homes lacking essential amenities like bathrooms. Architects are far more than designers of buildings; they are the curators of functionality and aesthetics, transforming mere concepts into physical realities that we live in, work in, and interact with daily.

EDGE’s team as Lead Design Consultants (LDC) and Architects has delivered a successful project in one of the world’s busiest hotels, managing a live hotel environment, with extensive structural modifications, new infrastructure, new MEP provisions, a new commercial kitchen and a full fit-out under a stringent deadline and opening date.

Located in the hotel Atlantis the Palm on the iconic Palm Jumeirah, Nobu restaurant has been selected as one of the best restaurants in Dubai by the MICHELIN Guide. Elevated at its new rooftop location, the restaurant has moved to the former Royal Bridge Suite of the hotel Atlantis the Palm.

1/JBR as viewed from the adjacent Ritz-Carlton Hotel at JBR. Elegant and slender, it has an aspect ratio of 1:12. Completed by DCC, the project’s Main Contractor and designed and supervised to completion by EDGE in February 2020, it stands tall on the JBR Beachfront and is a landmark in Dubai.

Being the oldest rugby club in the United Arab Emirates, the client’s aspiration was to have a clubhouse that would reflect the club’s rich history of over 50 years. The design intent was to give the space a vintage industrial aesthetic using a dark high ceiling, exposed structural elements, painted brick walls and rugged concrete flooring.

It’s no secret that the construction industry is massively male biased. A CIOB article published on November 1, 2017 revealed that women make up only 13% of construction sector workers, while only 2% of workers on-site are female. These are staggering numbers that must be addressed, particularly as the demand for talent to build future cities, and infrastructure, is expected to skyrocket in the coming years.

1/JBR will stand apart from the overwhelming majority of today’s multi-unit buildings. The uniqueness of the scheme comes from the fact that in the lower two thirds of the building, each elevator lobby will be shared by only two neighbours per floor.
