THE STUDIO
Understated.
Intentional.
Timeless.
EST. DUBAI, 2018
Born from memory, craft, and a vision for the future.
Founded in Dubai in 2018, Urjowan Alsharif Interiors is the manifestation of a personal and cultural journey, one that bridges the elegance of Hijazi heritage, the layered stories of the Gulf, and the refined curiosity of global design.
The studio creates bespoke private residences for prominent families across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE. Discretion is a cornerstone of the practice. Behind closed doors, stories unfold, stories of place, family, memory, and evolution.
THE APPROACH
"The goal is never to impose. It is to uncover, to reveal what is already there, and elevate it through design."
The aesthetic resists categorisation. It champions balance, between textures and materials, past and present, global and local. Natural materials, stone, wood, and clay, are favoured for their imperfections, for how they age and adapt.
The design philosophy is grounded in exploration. It draws from the Hijazi sensibility, a region where architecture has always embraced the world. But above all, it draws from the people who will inhabit the space, their history, rhythm, and way of life.

URJOWAN ALSHARIF
Urjowan Alsharif is a Saudi interior architect and Founder and Creative Director of Urjowan Alsharif Interiors, a Riyadh-based studio. She holds an MFA in Interior Architecture from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
Her work is defined by a deep respect for craftsmanship, an intuitive understanding of contemporary Gulf living, and a commitment to bespoke detailing at every scale. With a research-led approach, she develops interiors that are composed yet layered, where material, proportion, and spatial flow are carefully considered.
