The Lighthouse
Dubai Hills
Archer Humphryes second completed project in the UAE is the new Lighthouse in Dubai Hills. This venue seamlessly blends modern sophistication with warm, inviting elements, creating an atmosphere that is both visually stunning and comfortably welcoming.
The interior features a harmonious mix of bar seating, cozy lounges, high tables, a DJ alongside an 80-seat restaurant with an open counter kitchen, complemented by vibrant art pieces – curated by the owner Hashem Montasser, areca palms, rattan, linen, natural woods, and leather accents. This thoughtful design fosters a lush and cozy setting, appealing to those who appreciate impeccable design, a delicious menu of Mediterranean flavours and an energetic atmosphere.
Evenings at The Lighthouse are enlivened by live DJ performances, transforming the dining experience into a dynamic, multi-sensory event. The venue also hosts various community-driven events, including wine tastings and workshops, podcasts and talks reinforcing its role as a social and cultural hub and integrating the dining venue with the Lighthouse’s wider cultural outlook and societal goals.
Dubai Hills is The Lighthouse's fifth branch in the UAE, following successful establishments in Dubai Design District, Mall of the Emirates, Palm Jumeirah, and Yas Bay Waterfront in Abu Dhabi. The brand plans to expand further, with new projects in development in Riyadh set to open in 2025.
Through this project, Archer Humphryes Architects have significantly enhanced Dubai's culinary landscape, blending innovative design with cultural authenticity and meeting the needs of the city’s growing professional population for relaxed and sophisticated dining environments for socialising, relaxing and developing interests.
