Fit-Out Powerlist 2025 – HORTON INTERIORS, Rank 17th

E stablished in Dubai in 2012, Horton Interiors has grown into one of the region’s foremost design and build firms, renowned for delivering high-quality commercial interiors across the UAE and the wider GCC. With dedicated in-house teams across interior design, MEP, project management, approvals, and construction, the firm provides a fully integrated service model that streamlines the fit-out process and ensures con- sistency across all project stages.
With a portfolio exceeding 500 completed projects, Horton Interiors has left its mark across key sectors— from corporate workplaces and retail destinations to hospitals, schools, and luxury hospitality spaces. Its trusted clientele ranges from global conglomerates to homegrown startups, with repeat business reflecting its reputation for reliability and quality. Notably, Horton has com- pleted over 12 design and build projects for Allsopp & Allsopp, reflecting a strong and enduring partnership. Following the successful delivery of Bureau 1, the team was recently appoint- ed for the fit-out of Bureau 2.0. Additionally, Horton has delivered multiple offices for Kamlay Trading, a testa- ment to the trust placed in their consistent quality and project execution.
The company’s design philosophy prioritises prac- ticality, sustainability, and user comfort. Rather than adopting transient design trends, Horton focuses on how spaces function in the long term and how they contribute to broader organisational objectives. Each element—from layout and materials to systems integration—is selected with precision and intent.
A defining strength of the firm is its integrated delivery model. Designers, technical teams, and project man- agers work collaboratively throughout every phase of a project, enabling greater coordination and efficiency. With both interior and MEP expertise housed internally, Horton minimises reliance on external subcontractors, allowing for improved con- trol over timelines, budgets, and quality.
Horton Interiors embeds innovation in daily opera- tions, using AI planning tools, lean workflows, and sustainable sourcing to ensure operational excel- lence and environmental responsibility, under the leadership of Abdelmoua- mine Bougandoura, Manag- ing Director, who has been key in strengthening systems and driving growth.
“THE FUTURE OF INTERIORS DEPENDS ON BALANCING CREATIVITY WITH OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE.”
