ABOUT Godwin Austen Johnson (GAJ)

GAJ is one of the largest and longest-established British architectural and design practices in the UAE. Throughout our history, which spans more than 30 years, we have created some of the country’s most prized and loved buildings.

An award-winning and multi-disciplinary architecture practice, we have specific expertise in the design of government and commercial buildings, residential, education, leisure, and hospitality projects as well as master planning across the entire MENA region including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman and the UAE.

To meet the demands of the fast-developing economies across the Middle East, we continue to expand and diversify our operations. The practice is headed by five partners and offers a wide range of expertise across architecture, interior design, specialist lighting and MEP.

We believe that open communication and collaboration form a critical part of the design process where we can collectively identify objectives and expectations and assess the operational and functional relationships.
