We get to know you first.
Then we design around you.
TELA is an engineering consultancy specializing in design, fit-out and furnishing. Our TELA DNA process begins with you: how you live, how you work and what you need from your space. From the first plans to the final piece of furniture, we carry that understanding through every decision, creating a space that feels distinctly yours and works beautifully every day.
Our Dubai studio leads design and business operations. In Riyadh, our fit-out specialists work alongside the craftspeople at our own furniture factory. In London, we operate as TELA DESIGN & BUILD. Together, our teams manage your project from the first drawings to the day we hand you the keys.
Contact UsHow Our Practice Has Evolved
TELA Architects began as an architectural practice in 1953. Over the years, we brought interior design, fit-out and furniture making under one roof. Today, you can work with one team from the first drawing to the day we hand you the keys.
Working across different markets and cultures has shaped the way we design and build. Our team has grown to include architects, interior designers, building systems consultants and engineers who oversee construction on site. Each project has deepened our understanding of materials, technical details and what it takes to bring a design to life.
Our Architectural Practice Opens
TELA began as a family-owned architectural practice. Those early projects laid the foundation for the design and engineering services we offer today.
An Established Name in Residential and Commercial Design
With more than seven decades of experience, TELA brings architecture, interior design and engineering together for residential and commercial projects.
Design and Construction in One Proposal
For residential and commercial projects, TELA brought architecture, interiors, mechanical, electrical and plumbing design, and construction planning into a single proposal. Clients could see how the project would be designed and built from the outset.
Dubai · Riyadh · London
Today, we continue to bring design and engineering together to turn our clients’ ideas into homes and commercial spaces. We consider how each space will look, how it will work and how every detail will be built.
Our TELA DNA Method: U2D-BFD
We developed TELA DNA to bring architecture, interiors and furniture together from the start. Each team works from the same design decisions, so the details you approve on paper carry through to the finished space.
Understand
We get to know you, your site and what you need from the space. Those conversations shape the project from the very first layout.
Design
We use what we learn to shape the architecture and interiors around the way you’ll use the space.
Detail
We develop the concept into precise technical drawings and construction details that the team can build from on site.
Build
We build to the approved drawings, checking the quality of the work on site and preserving the character of the original design.
Furnish
We design, make and select furniture that feels at home in the space and complements its character.
Deliver
We check every detail before handing you the keys to a finished space that’s ready to use.
Many Disciplines , One Team
Our architects, interior designers, technical specialists, site supervisors, fit-out teams and furniture makers work together from the start. Each brings a different perspective to the decisions that shape your project, keeping the original design vision clear from the first plans to the final installation.
