Architecture studio · Riyadh
An architecture and interiors studio in Riyadh. We work on homes, cultural spaces and hospitality — and we always begin with climate, light, and the way people actually live.

01
A home for a three-generation family, arranged around a shaded courtyard. Thick rammed-earth walls keep the interiors cool, cutting the need for air conditioning even in summer.
02
A light canopy on the valley edge that hosts seasonal markets and evening gatherings. The steel-and-timber frame can be taken apart and rebuilt elsewhere.
03
A low building tucked into the sandstone that holds the region’s photographic archive. Light enters only through narrow roof slots, keeping the halls calm and temperate.
04
The ground floor of a historic house in Jeddah’s Al-Balad, brought back to life. We kept the original rawasheen and designed furniture in local timber, made by a workshop on the same street.

A small team of seven. We take on a limited number of projects each year so we stay close to every detail — from the first site visit to handing over the keys.
We design for shade and cross-ventilation before we draw a single facade. Comfort starts with orientation and openings, not machines.
Stone, earth and timber sourced as close as we can, because a building’s footprint starts at the quarry and the workshop.
We spend the first weeks on site and with the family or team before the first drawing. Most of the important decisions are made here.
A good house isn’t seen from the street. It is lived from within.
Tell us about the site and the idea, even if it’s early. We reply to every message within two working days.
