Masterplanning, Site Planning & Architectural Design
We turn your land into an integrated urban vision: a masterplan balancing efficiency, beauty and sustainability, and architecture that respects identity, the Saudi Building Code and authority requirements.
Service Overview
Masterplanning is the foundation of project success: massing distribution, densities, movement, open spaces and the functional relationships between components. We produce a comprehensive plan that maximises land value with environmental quality and an outstanding user experience, in line with building regulations and local requirements.
Work then moves to the architectural design of buildings: developing plans, elevations, massing and materials to serve the visual identity and project goals. We consider solar orientation, thermal efficiency and constructability, with early integration with structural and MEP disciplines.
Scope of Work
- Preparing the masterplan, massing, densities and land uses
- Movement, access, open space and landscape studies
- Developing the architectural design of buildings (plans, elevations, sections)
- Solar orientation and envelope thermal efficiency studies
- Compliance with building regulations and municipality/authority requirements
- 3D models and architectural visualisation

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between masterplanning and architectural design?
- Masterplanning defines how components are distributed across the whole site, while architectural design develops each building’s details. We provide both in an integrated way.
- Do you handle drawing approval with authorities?
- Yes, we prepare drawings per requirements and follow up approval with the municipality and relevant authorities.
- Does the service include a land feasibility study?
- We provide a planning feasibility study showing the best land use in terms of densities, areas and uses.
