05People
People who draw by hand first.
Architects, interior designers, researchers and makers, thirty-eight of us at one long table. Everyone builds models, everyone visits sites, and everyone presents their own work.
01Partners
Partners
- Reem A.Founding partner · Architecture
Reem draws the first section of every project by hand and still sits at the end of the long table. She trained in Riyadh and spent her early years restoring earth houses.
- Faisal M.Partner · Interiors
Faisal leads the interiors team and the joinery shop. He believes a room is finished when the light in it is, not when the furniture arrives.
- Lama S.Director · Najd Climate Lab
Lama set up the lab with four borrowed sensors. She now runs every study and reviews every façade before it leaves the studio.
- Turki H.Associate · Masterplanning
Turki works at the scale of streets and districts, and walks every site at noon in summer before he draws a single lane.

Model shop mornings
New joiners spend their first month building models for every team.
- 03
Lab days
Twice a year the whole studio goes out with the lab to measure an old house.
