The Journey

Since 1999, LW has developed over three hundred hospitality projects from the ground up.

The firm employs a diverse design process – an amalgamation of different ideas, concepts, and approaches.

LW’s eccentric design process and unparalleled attention to eclectic details are what drives its popularity. At LW, the emphasis lies on the functionality of Interior Design. Our definition of functionality? The way it makes the audience feel.

Our team of Architects and Designers go by one ideology, which is that flawless design isn’t a seamless panorama where each aspect merges into the other. It’s a combination of different details; a complex meshwork of vibrant puzzle pieces that collide to show a dynamic image.

1999 – 2024

Celebrating 25 Years of LW

In 2024 LW marked twenty-five years since the practice was founded in Dubai in 1999 — a quarter-century of hotels, restaurants and bars, from a first studio beside the old Dubai Zoo to four studios in Dubai, Hong Kong, São Paulo and Aarhus.

The anniversary film looks back on that journey and the people who made it. Sleeper marked the year with a long interview with Founder & CEO Jesper Godsk, and identity covered the celebration.

27 Years of Design Excellence

LW has established a worldwide presence in recent years, with a large number of impressive, award-winning projects coming out of our offices in Dubai, Hong Kong, São Paulo and Denmark.

Key to our success is the manner in which our Architects and Interior Designers not only work alongside each other but also partner closely with our clients to fully embrace their vision. The resulting projects deliver an experience that incorporates the best of both disciplines.

The experience we have acquired on the multiple hotels, restaurants and bars that we’ve worked on has firmly established us as a force within the hospitality sector. We’ve applied the same philosophy – of creating an unforgettable guest experience – to our many high-end residential and mixed-use developments.

Established in 1999, the multi-discipline team boasts an impressive client list and a portfolio of 100’s of hotels and over 300 restaurants/bars. Under the passionate leadership of Founder & CEO Jesper Godsk and Founding partner Colin Doyle, LW now employs over 100 staff worldwide.
