An international, multi-award-winning interior design and architecture studio. Working at the intersection of operator vision and craft — for hotels, restaurants, residences, and the businesses that define them.

{t.sectorIntro}
The studio's work is grouped across five disciplines. Hospitality and F&B remain our deepest practice — but the principles of operator-led design are the same wherever we work.
Founded in Dubai in 2004 by Paul Bishop. Built around long-term relationships with the region's hospitality groups, developers and creative operators. A second studio in Miami; Stellenbosch opening 2026.
Our sub-brand Rogue by Bishop Design extends the practice into architecture, brand ideation, F&B consultancy and photography.

The Studio · est. 2004
Cutting-edge interiors that exceed expectations.
Founder
Paul Bishop.
London-born, Manchester-educated, Dubai-based since 1996. Paul opened the studio in 2004 during the region's hospitality boom and has spent the two decades since building a practice known for operator-led design and long client relationships.
Under Paul's direction the studio has been named Interior Designer of the Year eight times between 2018 and 2023, and was awarded CID Interior Design Firm of the Year in 2021.
Philosophy
"Cutting-edge interiors — all the while exceeding client expectations and enhancing consumer experiences across the globe."
Sub-brand
Rogue by Bishop Design.
An in-house sub-brand that extends the studio into architecture, brand ideation, F&B consultancy, and photography & videography. Where the parent studio works on the room, Rogue works on everything around it.
Regional and international recognition since 2004, attributed by name, year and issuer. Listed below are confirmed accolades. The studio is also commonly cited with a "150+" figure in industry press — we work from the official "100+" number until that's reconciled.
