Working
Within The Cultural
Landscape
ESTABLISHED IN 2024, SPATIAL SENSE IS A DESIGN STUDIO THAT SPANS THE FIELDS OF ARCHITECTURE, INSTALLATION ART, MEDIA ART, PUBLIC SPACES AND IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES.
The studio
CENTERING ITS WORK AROUND CULTURAL PROJECTS, SPATIAL SENSE ADDRESSES THE TRANSFORMATIVE NATURE OF URBAN LIVING AND CHALLENGES THE DOMINANCE OF SPACES SHAPED BY CONSUMPTION, DISTRACTION, AND EXCESS.
THE WORK EXPLORES THE FUNCTION OF SPACE WITHIN OUR CULTURE AND EXPERIMENTS WITH ITS CAPACITY TO BE RESTORATIVE, REFLECTIVE, INSPIRING, AND HEALING.
WE VIEW SPATIAL DESIGN AS THE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS PRESENT NOT JUST IN BUILDINGS, BUT IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVED ENVIRONMENT.
SPATIAL SENSE WAS FOUNDED BY SPATIAL EXPERIENCE DESIGNER FATEMA ALQASEER AND IS BASED IN AL SHINDAGHA HISTORIC DISTRICT, DUBAI, U.A.E.
Wall with light
Installation, 2024
A lightbox - not for projection. Rather, for perception. A glowing surface draws our gaze not to itself, but beyond it: to the different tiers of rooftops, the textured walls, the vernacular of past Emirati life. It reframes the familiar, offering a tribute to the architecture of adaptation, intimacy and light.
The installation is open to the public until 31 December 2025, Monday to Friday, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM at House 200, Al Shindagha Historic District.

Forgetting Arabic Poetry
Immersive Experience, 2024
An immersive experience that "spatializes" the unexplored artform of Arabic poetry. Located in an international airport -Forgetting Arabic Poetry- is created as a moment of pause for today’s common soul, the traveler seeking inspiration and meaning in today's busy world.
The project explores the intersection of memory, culture, and language through the use of abstract and sensory spaces derived from the elements that make up Arabic poetry.

Al Matla’a
Immersive Experience, 2025
Two hours from the city, you arrive at the deep desert — a force of silence and emptiness. We turn our attention to these remote areas, seeking the primordial spatial conditions of this land: places untouched by cars or power lines. Here, the desert reveals its own architecture. Barchan dunes, star dunes, flat sabkha plains stretch across the horizon.
Al Matla’a — an Arabic word meaning “the beginning” or “the first sight” — explores these landscapes through light, pathways, and viewpoints that frame what is already there, making visible the patterns and structures surrounded in the land itself.

Passing Shadow
Immersive Installation , 2026
Passing Shadow transforms a courtyard into a site of temporal and emotional resonance. At its core, the installation choreographs a single shadow that moves slowly across the courtyard—not cast by an object, but existing as the object itself: volumetric, embodied, and immersive. The work explores absence as material, where darkness itself becomes presence. Within this suspended temporality, a shadow unfolds as a metaphor for forgetting, while light emerges as a symbol of memory and cultural continuity—revealing the courtyard as a witness of the passing of time and shift of culture.
Opening January 2026
