About Us

Founded in 2005, J2 Design has active operations in Dubai, Barbados, London, Milan, and Singapore. Specializing in luxury hospitality and residences, the global firm takes pride in shaping beautiful and striking interiors for clients including Hilton, Dubai Maritime City, Mandarin Oriental, IHG, Four Seasons, Marriott International, St. Regis, and Conrad, among many others.
Spearheaded by Joshua Judd, a seasoned interior designer with 25 years of international experience, the firm is guided by his philosophy that there is no substitute for the creative mind. Hand sketching remains central to our daily practice, offering a deeper understanding of space and functionality.

Together, the team have recently completed the renovation of the iconic Waldorf Astoria Residences in DIFC, which pays tribute to the hotel’s 1960s Fifth Avenue aesthetic. Coming up are a series of landmark projects across the region, including Biltmore Sufouh Penthouses as well as The Pier Residences in Dubai Maritime City. Each project is a testament to the team’s global experience, seamlessly weaving culture, historical context, and tradition into designs that are both modern and contemporary, fulfilling the lifestyles of today and tomorrow.
With a wealth of experience in hotel design, we naturally cater for multiple disciplines – residential design, restaurant design, spa design, nightclub design, and retail design. This breadth of expertise allows us to deliver unique solutions within our client’s timelines, without ever compromising on quality.
breathtaking by design
We believe the best spaces take your breath away. They are the ones where you feel light as a feather as you step into them, while your eyes are filled with marvel. In our mind, there’s no need to settle for average. Every angle, every detail, must be carefully considered. Because it’s not enough for a space to simply exist, it needs to stir something within you. This is breathtaking by design. And at J2, this is what we do.
