DARA Associated Architects

We are a Contextual/Compositional Architects whom merges between "Responsive" and "Intuitive" design intents to reconfigure the design process's fundamentals, such as urban context, geographical location, building forms, positive voids, negative-space qualities, functional adjacencies, spatial assemblies, materials' colors and texture, rhythm, accentuation of shade and shadow, physical hierarchy, human scale, green values and spiritual impacts; into an orchestrated unified building entity that celebrates its own existence as an enduring destination. Moreover, the understanding of our rooted socio-cultural qualities in the local architectural heritage leads to better implementation of the socio-economical architectural solutions and influences our design methodologies; therefore, "permanently" redefines our local practice into authentic design themes that balance between our indigenous preferences and modernity.
