Following her relocation from SOM’s New York office to join our growing team in Dubai last year, Principal Emily Mottolese joined the aForm Show Podcast to share insights on SOM’s expanding presence across the Middle East, particularly in Dubai and Riyadh, and to spotlight several exciting new projects in the region.

Among these is Atelis at d3, a visionary residential development located in the heart of Dubai Design District. Positioned along the iconic Dubai Creek, Atelis blends cultural vibrancy with forward-thinking design and a strong connection to nature, offering a new model for sustainable urban living in the region.
