Selected Interior Design Projects

Studio PASE works across two related fields: short-term rental and investment interiors in Dubai, and high-end residential and commercial projects in Dubai, Paris and beyond. The portfolio below is ordered to put that focus first — the Dubai short-term rental projects lead, followed by the studio’s commercial work and its international residential projects.

For an investor, a portfolio is evidence. It shows how a studio thinks, the standard it holds itself to, and whether it has already handled the kind of unit you are about to furnish. Each project page is written as a case study rather than a gallery caption — it sets out the brief, the constraints, the design and furniture decisions and the reasoning behind each one, so a prospective client can judge the thinking and not only the photographs.

The short-term rental projects are the clearest illustration of the studio’s investor-first method. Project SPARKLE is a turnkey studio in Dubai Marina; Project BLUE a studio in Sharjah; Project SOL a one-bedroom apartment in Business Bay; and Project BURJ a full one-bedroom renovation in Downtown Dubai. Each was treated from the first sketch as an investment — an interior designed for the guest and the listing photograph, and specified to survive the turnover of a short-term rental.

The commercial projects — a luxury beauty salon and a fashion showroom, both in Dubai — show the same discipline applied to spaces that have to perform as business assets. The Paris apartments, in the 8th, 14th and 16th arrondissements, show the studio’s roots in heritage residential design: modernising Haussmann interiors without erasing the period character that underpins their value.

What each project page covers

Every project page follows the same structure. It sets out the type of property and its location; the situation at the start and the brief behind the work; the design and furniture decisions; how the interior was specified for durability and day-to-day operation; and how the unit was prepared to photograph and list well. Where a project is a short-term rental, the page explains how the interior supports the things an investor can actually influence — the listing photos, the guest experience and the reviews that follow from both.

Studio PASE does not publish yield or occupancy figures, because those depend on location, pricing and management rather than on design alone. What the portfolio demonstrates instead is execution: the ability to take a unit from an empty shell to a finished, listing-ready interior, managed end to end — including for owners who are based abroad and cannot oversee a fit-out in person.

The projects also map onto the districts Studio PASE knows best. Dubai Marina, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai each appear in the portfolio, and the studio publishes dedicated guidance on designing short-term rentals in those areas as well as in Palm Jumeirah, JVC, JLT, Dubai Hills and Dubai Creek Harbour. A project and its neighbourhood are read together: the right interior for a unit depends on the guest its location attracts.

If you are weighing up a furnishing or design project of your own, the most useful next step is to let us see the unit. Send your floor plan, current photos and target rental positioning, and we will tell you what needs to be furnished, upgraded or simplified before listing — then prepare a precise proposal built around it.
