Asharq News Headquarters
Dubai, UAE

Asharq News is a global media network headquartered in the heart of the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC).

As lead designers of the project, Clickspring not only produced the look and functionality of the on-air broadcast studios, but also drew upon its substantial in-house architectural experience to master plan the facility’s entire 5,300 sq meters (57,000 sq feet), which includes high-end offices, briefing rooms, editorial spaces, newsrooms, and an array of areas dedicated to technology infrastructure.

Occupying four floors connected by a dramatic central atrium, the sprawling media facility is notable not only for its scale and expansive use of cutting-edge broadcast technologies, but also for its sudden appearance on the world stage as a major Pan-Arab player within the MENA region.

Clickspring was supported by industry partners Mystic Scenic Studios, Eastern Lighting Design, and Lamar Johnson Collaborative, each vital to the execution of scenic fabrication, broadcast lighting, and architectural support, respectively.
