Twenty-five years of drawing rooms in Dubai — then building them, ourselves.
Broadway began in 1999 as a fit-out company. Chris Barnes — our founder — was on site before he was at the drawing board, and that order has shaped the studio ever since.
Through the 2000s we delivered much of what became DIFC, Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City — first as a contractor, then as a design-and-build practice. By 2013, with the opening of Asia Asia on Pier 7, the F&B portfolio had earned the same reputation as the workplaces. Today the practice spans five sectors, with a seventy-project archive and twenty-five attributed design awards.
We have stayed deliberately small. The drawings, the procurement, the site team — they all sit on the same WhatsApp thread. There is no handoff, because there is nobody to hand off to.
The designer and the quantity surveyor sit four metres apart. Drawings get challenged before they get tendered.
Every concept is reviewed against programme, procurement lead-times, and the workshop’s capacity to actually make it.
Selective on intake, deliberate on workload. Chris signs off every project before it leaves the studio.
Full names, bios and portraits to follow on the live site.
Award, issuer, year, project. No self-declared stars. No directory ratings.
