Sneha Divias Atelier

Super Duper Studio is a creative environment in Dubai conceived as a spatial framework for learning, artistic expression, and performance. Designed for a client with a strong focus on creativity and education, the project reinterprets the idea of a children’s studio through an architectural language that balances playfulness with compositional restraint.

The concept is grounded in architecture as storytelling. Movement through the space unfolds as a sequence of arches, curves, and carefully orchestrated chromatic transitions. These elements establish a continuous spatial rhythm, capturing the spontaneity of childhood while maintaining visual discipline. The recurring arch motif operates both as a structural device and a symbolic connector, linking different zones into a coherent journey.

Entry into the studio is marked by a bold red portal framed by lavender, yellow, and green tones, setting a confident and expressive tone. Inside, the layout reveals itself gradually. A curved stage framed by emerald curtains forms the spatial heart of the project, while adjacent creative zones, including art display areas and activity corners, invite tactile engagement and participation. Red mesh partitions define boundaries without interrupting openness, allowing visual connection and fluid circulation throughout.

Material contrasts play a key role in anchoring the vibrant palette. Powder-coated metal, terrazzo, natural oak, high-gloss lacquer, and polished epoxy flooring are combined to create a tactile environment that supports active use while maintaining durability and ease of maintenance. The interplay between matte and gloss finishes enhances the perception of light and depth, ensuring the composition remains balanced despite its expressive use of color.

Custom-designed furniture reinforces the studio’s identity, incorporating soft geometric forms and bespoke patterns aligned with the project’s visual language. The overall atmosphere is immersive yet composed, achieving a calibrated balance between stimulation and calm. Super Duper Studio presents an architectural approach to children’s spaces in which form, color, and material are carefully choreographed to support creativity, movement, and discovery.
