STUDIOS

Paragon is a unified community with locations in Dubai, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. When you step into any of our studios, you’ll immediately feel the same vibrant energy. We work hard because we genuinely care about our work and each other. Whether we are mentoring graduates, testing new materials, or cheering on our teammates during our in-house Amazing Race, everything we do is grounded in a core belief: fantastic buildings start with strong relationships. We maintain an open culture, nurture curiosity, and allow our craft to evolve—this is how bold concepts transform into spaces that resonate. Our commitment is the reason clients across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond stay connected long after the ribbon is cut.
