Welcome to our Riyadh studio

Central to Saudi Arabia’s remarkable transformation, Riyadh is rapidly changing both culturally and spatially. Our multinational team of creative thinkers designs social and physical infrastructure that connects people, shapes vibrant experiences, and supports the Kingdom’s ambition on a global stage.

With decades of work in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, our studio designs with purpose. Our work enhances health and well-being, champions climate resilience, and celebrates culture and identity. We imagine new possibilities every day, collaborating with colleagues and partners around the world on some of the grandest projects of our time—all with the goal of designing a more prosperous future.

Inspired by Riyadh’s Wadi Hanifa, the Diplomatic Quarters Hotel’s design takes cues from the layered geology of local landscapes—creating a unique opportunity to express the rich environment, vernacular, and heritage of Saudi Arabia.

What inspires me about KSA is the opportunity to shape cities at a scale where innovation meets cultural depth—creating urban legacies for generations to come.

Riyadh Mobility Network

Metro, BRT stations, and bus stops that reimagine the transit experience. Thoughtfully designed, climate-controlled, and built with high-quality materials, each station offers comfort, clarity, and a sense of arrival. Iconic forms and refined details create a memorable identity for the transit system in Riyadh, inspiring a new way to move through the city.

Client and Stakeholder Engagement

Through collaborative workshops, we work with internal and external stakeholders to explore resilience across multiple planning and design scales. Our approach with clients, advisors, and teams defines project impacts through gamified brainstorming sessions set in local and global contexts.
