Architecture design
Creative, buildable designs, from the first concept sketch to construction documents, protected on site until handover.
One team, from the first sketch to the final handover
PRINCIPLES Design is a professional architecture and supervision practice established in 2013, with offices in Amman, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh. Our practice brings together architects and engineers with over thirty years of combined experience, delivering design excellence and disciplined site control across residential, commercial and institutional projects in the MENA region.
What differentiates us is that we are one step ahead: our designs are developed with buildability, budget and approvals in mind from day one, and our supervision teams protect the design intent on site until handover. We tailor our procedures to each client and provide alternative scenarios to deal with any project challenge.
PRINCIPLES Design operates under PRINCIPLES, a professional services firm specialized in Project Management, Dispute Resolution, Expert Witness and GRC services, bringing the discipline of the region’s largest programs to every design we deliver.
