ABOUT US

Sculpting Space Since 1995

Founded in 1995 by Japanese-Canadian designer David Brian Tokiwa, DBTA International creates world-class architectural, hospitality, and residential environments across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Central Asia.

For three decades, our practice has preserved a rare reverence for enduring materiality, architectural restraint, and deep cultural resonance. Every commission is custom-composed without repetitive formulas, uniting Japanese precision with European warmth.
