Fabio Mazzeo Architects And Mercury Projects Form Partnership For Ultra-Luxury Development In The Middle East

Fabio Mazzeo Architects has teamed up with Mercury Projects to bring its visionary designs to the region

Fabio Mazzeo Architects, the renowned Italian architecture studio, announces its strategic partnership with Mercury Projects, the award-winning development and project management firm. By partnering with Mercury Projects, with its two decades’ tenure in the Middle East, the practice will bring its ability to transform the impossible into tangible reality to a new market, ensuring a seamless project journey from initial concept to final delivery.

Each creation by Fabio Mazzeo is a celebration of collective passion, with each new work serving as an invitation to join this ongoing narrative, bridging the artisanal part with the innovative future of design. This collaborative mindset is closely aligned with that of Mercury Projects, with its obsession with delivery, technical detail and adherence to budget and deadlines. The Middle East, with its dazzling design vision and passion for innovation, is the ideal home for this synergistic relationship, and is an endorsement of the region’s fast growth, ongoing maturation and track record in creating some of the world’s most beautiful spaces.

Led by Fabio Mazzeo, the studio prioritizes dialogue and empathy in its approach, aiming to capture and reflect the emotional nuances of his clients. This philosophy has proven successful in the GCC to date, leading to private commissions and high-profile public projects such as the Oman Air VIP Lounge in Muscat Airport. Over the years, Fabio Mazzeo has designed residences for royal families of the United Arab Emirates both in the GCC and in other parts of the world, as well as developing numerous concepts for private villas and islands across the Middle East. The partnership with Mercury will build on this track record, supporting clients comprehensively through the entire design, build, and delivery process and showcasing the transformative power of thoughtful design.

Fabio Mazzeo, Founder and Design Director, Fabio Mazzeo Architects, explains: “For us, beauty is never
accidental—it is the result of meticulous work, thoughtful choices, and a profound understanding of materials and their expressive potential. Every detail must contribute to a harmonious whole, not only visually but also on a sensorial and emotional level. Our approach is deeply rooted in listening: understanding our clients’ desires is fundamental to transforming their visions into tangible reality, ensuring that every expectation is not just met, but exceeded.”

Hamed Ghavidel, Founder, Mercury Projects, adds: “This exciting partnership is a milestone for Mercury and strengthens our ability to deliver ambitious and challenging projects that are both beautiful and impeccably executed. We feel that Fabio Mazzeo’s Architects’ embrace of past, and future is a natural fit for a region known for its rich cultural history and future vision and it will be our pleasure to combine his talents with our deep regional tenure and technical expertise. Together, our hope is that this partnership will allow us to create profoundly thought-out spaces that meaningfully contribute to the region’s architectural legacy.”
