40NORTH shapes the gardens, courtyards, and public realms of luxury hotels, resorts, and residences — across the MENA region and the Americas.
Founder John Galloway and the 40NORTH team design the gardens, pools, courtyards, and public realms that give the world's finest destinations their sense of place — from Atlantis The Royal in Dubai to the Four Seasons in Buenos Aires.
The work spans hospitality, residential, and master planning at every scale — and begins, every time, with reading the land.

The Studio
John Galloway founded 40NORTH nineteen years ago. He leads the creative direction of every project that leaves the office — at the beginning and the end of each one.
John has led design teams across the MENA region — Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia — bringing a rancher's read of the land to the world's most demanding hospitality projects.
