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 DUBAI, U.A.E.
Wall with light
Installation, 2024
A lightbox not for projection, but for perception.
A glowing surface draws the gaze beyond itself, towards the layered rooftops, textured walls, and the vernacular of past Emirati life. The work reframes the familiar, bringing attention to the architecture, materiality, and surroundings of Al Shindagha.
Installed at House 200, Al Shindagha Historic District, Dubai.

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.
In Developement
Passing Shadow
Immersive Installation , 2026
A single slow-moving shadow gradually fills the space, creating an immersive environment where shadow becomes a metaphor for forgetting. Laser beams cut through the darkness, representing remembrance through cultural connection.
The installation is set within the courtyard of a historic house in Al Shindagha, Dubai. A courtyard that stands as a witness to time, change, and shifting culture.
