The project plan is to deliver more than 2000 housing and community facilities to teaching staff for a University in KSA.

Believing that simple changes can make a big impact on individuals’ lives, we help our clients to achieve accessible, safe and connected environments. We believe in the power of sustainable and equitable urban designs, in which people are at the core of activities. We have collected best practice approaches from across the globe and conducted surveys with end users to create a transparent process and choice of preferred living opportunities. More than 5 goals of the United Nations (UN) and Social Development Goals (SDG) are integrated within the project’s social objectives. It is planned to have sustainable and nature protected solutions.
