John R. Harris & Partners

John R Harris & Partners was first established in 1949 and grew into an international practice from the head office in London, with associate offices throughout the UK and in Qatar, Spain, Australia and the Far East. In 1960, HH Shk Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum invited JRHP to develop a master plan for the rapidly growing city of Dubai.



Thereafter John R. Harris & Partners established the Dubai Office, over 40 years ago and since that time progressed to design many of the regions significant buildings and have been actively involved in the development of the Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries, approaching projects with a high respect for culture, location, climate and budget.



Historically, no single architectural practice has had a more significant impact in shaping the architecture of the Gulf region than JRHP. JRHP continue to influence the architecture of the region with JAFZA views, a twin 27 storey development on Shk Zayed Road, at the entry of new Dubai.



Recently the practice has been restructured to take advantage of its long term presence and position in the Middle East & to optimize it for competition in the Middle East, UK & worldwide markets.

After over 50 years of operation, working in various locations and cultures, we have learned to adapt and integrate our skills with local needs to produce exciting but relevant and economically efficient projects. JRHP International's design objective is to apply their international experience to local project solutions.
