and adaptive reuse strategies that balance environmental responsibility with commercial value. Across Arabia, this ambition is taking shape at an extraordinary scale. As explored in our exclusive Awarded Spaces features, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan are helping to redefine the possibilities of urban development. From NEOM’s experimental urban concepts and Riyadh’s New Murabba to Red Sea Global’s environmentally conscious approach to tourism, these developments illustrate how technological ambition, cultural identity, and ecological responsibility are increasingly being considered together. The challenge, however, extends beyond imagining the cities of tomorrow to making innovation practical and enduring. In his recent Awarded Spaces interview, Ammar Ghonaim of Mimar Architecture + Engineering discusses how AI-driven design, smart building systems, locally sourced materials, and passive environmental strategies can support Saudi Arabia’s development ambitions. This commitment to performance is echoed across the region, where architects and developers are embracing new approaches to sustainable design.

DESIGNING TOMORROW Ammar Ghonaim: A Visionary Leader Shaping the Future of Architecture in Saudi Arabia How do you see the role of architectural and engineering firms like Mimar Architecture + Engineering in supporting the ambitious goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, particularly in terms of urban development and sustainability? Mimar Architecture + Engineering considers itself perfectly aligned with KSA vision 2030 and contributes to the fulfilment of the vision through designing innovative solutions and prioritising sustainable development within our practice. By integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices, we contribute to projects that prioritise environmental preservation, efficient energy use, and improved quality of life for residents. Our commitment to Vision 2030 is reflected in projects like Dhahran EXPO Convention Centre & Mixed-Use Development, which embody futuristic Architecture and eco-friendly solutions.

Saudi Arabia has been undertaking numerous mega-projects as part of Vision 2030, such as NEOM and the Red Sea Development. What are some of the key architectural and engineering challenges you believe these projects will face, and how Mimar Architecture + Engineering contributes to overcoming them? Those Gigantic developments are genuine and un-precedented within the rich history of the Kingdom, making it remarkably challenging in anticipating its impact on the wider spectrum of urban development, and requires tangible evidence of its success in the near and far future. Within that context, Mimar keeps examining innovative futuristic ideas that enrich those visions while balancing that with careful consideration of Urban and

architecture character that have been widely addressed in the Architectural identities of KSA recently published early 2025. Moreover, Mimar considers local aspects associated with environmental impact and practical utilisation of locally sourced materials to reduce environmental impact and deploying smart building systems to enhance efficiency. Our experience with largescale developments positions us as a reliable partner for overcoming logistical challenges while maintaining high standards of innovation and quality.

Sustainability is a core focus of Vision 2030. How is Mimar Architecture + Engineering incorporating sustainable design practices into its projects, and how do you see this aligning with Saudi Arabia’s green development goals? Sustainability has been long used theoretically to give impressions of responsibility towards environment and community, but few developments have successfully adopted sustainability in effective and measurable manners. We in Mimar prefer to adopt Sustainability in practical and applicable areas where possible. We focus on some particular sustainability applications like using materials with low embodied carbon mainly by using local sourced materials: adopting strategies associated with low water consumption like Xeriscape in Landscape design, utilising passive strategies in building skins design that reduces heat gain and hence efficiently reduces the dependency on Mechanical HVAC applications, in addition to regular applications of power generation through renewable resources where possible and where

found feasible. For example, our work on The Sustainable Homes highlights our commitment to minimising ecological footprints while enhancing occupant well-being. These efforts align seamlessly with Saudi Arabia’s Green Initiative goals, such as planting 10 billion trees and rehabilitating degraded land. By prioritising sustainability in every stage of development, we support the Kingdom’s transition toward a greener future.

The Saudi government is focused on diversifying the economy and encouraging private sector involvement in large-scale infrastructure projects. What opportunities do you think this creates for regional firms like yours, and what types of projects do you foresee being in high demand? Vision 2030’s emphasis on Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) opens vast opportunities for regional firms to contribute to sectors like housing, transportation, healthcare, and education. Mimar Architecture + Engineering is well-positioned to participate in these initiatives by delivering innovative designs for mixed-use developments, smart cities, and sustainable housing projects. With an increasing demand for infrastructure that supports economic diversification – such as logistics hubs and tourism facilities – we foresee significant growth in projects that blend functionality with sustainability.

soaring silhouette of the Burj Khalifa to the meticulously crafted Palm Jumeirah, the city has reigned as a beacon of boundary-pushing design and ambition. A quieter, yet more profound transformation is now taking shape beneath the gleam of glass and steel. A new architectural identity is emerging: one that harmonises the elegance of ultra-luxury design with a growing commitment to environmental stewardship. Dubai has shifted its focus beyond grand displays – it’s now redefining luxury through sustainability, together with wellness and intelligent urban planning. The transformation is not random. The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan provides visionary direction which prioritises human-centred design together with ecological sustainability in the development of the city. Sustainability has become intrinsic to the design brief – woven into the very fabric of new developments through green infrastructure, smart technologies, and biophilic design principles. Developers have started to work with established international and regional certification frameworks to build environmental performance capabilities directly into their new construction. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) stands as the global benchmark for green building excellence which sets the standard for environmentally friendly construction. The Estidama Pearl Rating System which originated in Abu Dhabi has started to influence design choices in Dubai for public and private construction projects. The DGBRS Dubai Green Building Regulations and Specifications alongside these systems enforce mandatory sustainability standards for all new developments throughout the city. In Dubai, luxury and sustainability are no longer parallel ambitions, they are intertwined. The city’s most forward-thinking developments show that it is possible to create opulent yet responsible spaces which integrate advanced technology while remaining deeply rooted in their local context.

for building a globally recognised, environmentally conscious architectural practice deeply rooted in regional context.

Rather than adopting a conventional symmetrical formal composition, we pursued a more optimistic and transparent architectural language. The design carefully balances solid and void forms while responding to environmental exposures on each façade. Large glass panels on the north façade maximise daylight without overheating, while the west façade employs self-shading strategies and narrow windows to mitigate solar gain. Philosophical and environmental considerations guided the project. Drawing inspiration from Erbil’s traditional courtyard houses, we introduced a landscaped courtyard with fountains and greenery, reinterpreting vernacular typologies in a contemporary civic setting. Desert-adapted plant species were selected for resilience, while panoramic elevators provide views of the internal garden, reinforcing a sense of openness. Glass partitions throughout enhance visual connectivity and transparency. The courtyard and surrounding green spaces serve not only as ecological features but also as restorative environments that promote biodiversity and occupant well-being.

Complementing this, a hybrid ventilation system combines natural crossventilation with energy-efficient mechanical solutions, including HRV units, to improve air quality and comfort while reducing energy demand. This integration of nature-driven design strategies demonstrates how contemporary workspaces can simultaneously elevate productivity, foster well-being, and achieve long-term sustainability.

How do you define a truly regenerative and human-centred workplace? What key design principles have you used to actively avoid greenwashing? For us, integrating greenery into buildings is not a trend but a continuation of architectural tradition. Historically, homes in our region centred on internal courtyards – living, breathing spaces that connected people to nature. Over time, these spaces shifted to front or back yards, or disappeared altogether. Reviving such concepts through contemporary design provides a truly sustainable response to modern challenges. Humans are inherently connected to nature – we are drawn to plants, animals, and natural elements. Yet people now spend nearly 90% of their time indoors. Our design approach brings nature back inside, supporting passive strategies that maximise daylight and natural ventilation, reduce dependence on artificial lighting and HVAC systems, and lower energy use and carbon emissions. Sun orientation is fundamental. While many buildings replicate identical façades
