DEsIGNING WITH PURPOsE, DELIVERING WITH INTEGRITY

In this exclusive interview with Saudi Projects, Stuart Allen shares the story behind AAID’s journey of shaping Saudi Arabia’s skyline.

AAID’s unique design philosophy is contributing to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious future. From iconic projects and prestigious clients to navigating local challenges and opportunities, Stuart offers a compelling look at what it takes to design for a nation on the rise.

sAUDI PROJECTs: Stuart, could you begin by telling us a bit about your background and what led to the founding of AAID?

sTUART ALLEN: Moving to the USA in my early teens and being educated in America has allowed me to call myself an expat for the majority of my life. While I’ve always been aware of my roots, I’ve embraced the influence of the places I’ve lived, which has guided my choices and career in an indirect but meaningful way.

Living and working all over the US helped me develop the ability to adapt across different markets and skillsets. From working on a ranch to touring with a band, these experiences taught me to evolve with my environment. When I eventually found my design career, I realised it had always been my calling, I just hadn’t seen it in front of me.

I’ve always pushed myself and challenged the boundaries of what I do. Sometimes it’s been unconventional, but struggle and hardship have fuelled my drive and determination. Founding AAID came through risk, persistence, and the dream of building a design studio I would want to be a part of, one rooted in integrity and a commitment to doing things the right way. That’s what I believe we’re about, and hopefully others see that too.

sAUDI PROJECTs: AAID has a strong and expanding presence in the GCC. When did you first begin working in Saudi Arabia, and what attracted you to the Kingdom?

sTUART ALLEN: We began working in Saudi Arabia around 2011–2012, supporting a client from Abu Dhabi with their regional office in Riyadh. At the time, the industry was at a turning point, and there was an

Design rooted in local culture and global vision

 MINIsTRY OF TOURIsM, KsA

opportunity to make a real impact by elevating creative design standards and introducing international processes.

Even then, change was on the horizon in the Kingdom with innovation, diversification, and forward-thinking approaches were beginning to emerge. It felt like the right time to be involved in dynamic, creative work and to contribute meaningfully to a region in transformation.

sAUDI PROJECTs: How would you describe AAID’s design philosophy, and how is this reflected in your projects across Saudi Arabia?

sTUART ALLEN: We have deep respect for the culture and environment we work in. We draw inspiration from the cultural characteristics of a place while also planning for the future. Our philosophy is rooted in form and function, ensuring designs are both beautiful and purposeful.

We integrate international design standards and forward-thinking practices that bring efficiency and creativity to each project. Wherever possible, we use locally sourced materials and aim to reflect both the diversity and heritage of the Kingdom. Our goal is to showcase the richness of Saudi Arabia in a way that’s authentic and inspiring.

SAUDI PROJECTS: What sets AAID apart from other design firms operating in the region, particularly in the fast-evolving Saudi market?

sTUART ALLEN: I’m a firm believer in the design process, one that has been tested internationally through generations and movements. This process allows an idea to develop into a well-resolved, real-world solution that meets client needs and surpasses expectations.

Too often, we’ve seen this process overlooked. In Saudi Arabia, we make it a point to explain its importance and ensure every project is treated with the integrity it deserves.

sAUDI PROJECTs: Could you highlight some of the key projects or clients you have worked with in Saudi Arabia to date?

From Qiddiya to PIF - A growing client list

sTUART ALLEN: Certainly. Some of our key projects and clients in the Kingdom include:

• Qiddiya & Seven HQ – 22,000 sqm office in Laysen Valley

• Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib HQ – 20,000 sqm

• PIF and subsidiaries – including SURJ (Sports Investment Co.) and VCM (Voluntary Carbon Market)

• KAFD – Development of building technical guides, tenant fit-out manuals, and tenant design reviews

• Ministry of Tourism HQ – Workplace strategy across 9 floors in 3 buildings; designed in collaboration with H.E. the Minister and Deputy Minister to reflect the Kingdom’s 13 regions

• Boston Consulting Group –4,300 sqm regional office

• Ernst & Young – 12,000 sqm regional office

• Bain & Company – 1,600 sqm regional office

sAUDI PROJECTs: Vision 2030 is transforming the built environment in Saudi Arabia. How is AAID aligning with the ambitions of this national initiative?

A decade of experience shaping saudi spaces

sTUART ALLEN: Vision 2030 is about showcasing Saudi Arabia’s culture and contributions to the world, both economically and culturally. It sets a powerful direction, encouraging international recognition and trade.

We’ve already seen the design industry respond. Global companies are establishing themselves in the region, demanding excellence in design. Where once international design firms were a requirement, the Kingdom is now setting the standard, with local talent and projects leading the way. We’re proud to be part of that evolution.

sAUDI PROJECTs: Have you faced any unique challenges or opportunities when designing for the Saudi market? How has AAID adapted?

sTUART ALLEN: In the past, a key challenge was the lack of skilled labour and proper onsite management. However, the landscape has shifted quickly. With more international influence and higher standards, the region now aligns with global business practices.

Another major shift is material availability. Previously, projects relied heavily on imports. Now, many suppliers have set up within the Kingdom, which has opened up opportunities for local sourcing. This evolution has been incredible, and we’re grateful to have spent over a decade growing alongside the Kingdom’s development.

sAUDI PROJECTs: From commercial interiors to residential design, AAID has a diverse portfolio. Which sectors are you seeing the most growth or interest in within Saudi Arabia?

sTUART ALLEN: The commercial sector remains strong, particularly as more businesses enter the region. However, with the rise of mega projects, international events, and exhibitions, there’s huge demand for supporting infrastructure, particularly in hospitality and F&B.

These in turn drive demand for residential and retail spaces. We expect high-end residential design to see significant growth, shaped by the increasing diversity and opportunity within the Kingdom.

sAUDI PROJECTs: How do you see the future of architecture and interior design evolving in Saudi Arabia, and what role do you envision AAID playing in that journey?

Crafting timeless interiors with integrity and care

 sTUART ALLEN, MANAGING DIRECTOR & FOUNDER

sTUART ALLEN: Under Vision 2030, there’s a strong call for international collaboration to showcase the Kingdom’s heritage while embracing global influences. This is already visible in the architecture of Riyadh and the country’s mega projects.

At AAID, our role is to help tell that story and to merge modern innovation with cultural legacy. Through architecture and design, we aim to inspire residents and visitors alike, while proudly representing the Kingdom’s identity to the rest of the world.

sAUDI PROJECTs: Finally, what advice would you give to other international firms looking to establish themselves in Saudi Arabia’s design landscape?

sTUART ALLEN: Respect the region and its history. Working in the Kingdom is a gift, an opportunity to collaborate with a proud and rich culture at an extraordinary moment of transformation.

It’s not just about offering expertise, it’s about listening, learning, and contributing meaningfully. Spend time in the region, get to know its people, and understand what drives its growth. The creativity that stems from cultural exchange can lead to truly inspiring work.

Saudi Arabia is a place of great pride and energy. Work with its people and be part of their journey.

ITALIAN TExTILE ATELIER LYRIA ENTERs

sAUDI

MARKET

Bespoke, sustainable luxury textiles tailored for Saudi interiors and giga-projects.

talian Textile House Lyria Weaves Its Way into Saudi Arabia’s Luxury Interiors Market.As Saudi Arabia’s design landscape surges with giga-projects and high-end hospitality developments, Lyria, the acclaimed Italian textile atelier, is making bold inroads into the Kingdom. Known for its bespoke, sustainable, and artistically crafted textiles, Lyria is aligning its luxury collections with the elevated demands of Saudi Arabia’s booming interior design sector.

Founded in Prato, the heart of Italy’s textile tradition, Lyria has carved out a niche in the fashion world, collaborating with luminaries such as Armani, Jil Sander, and Yohji Yamamoto. In recent years, the atelier has turned its creative lens to interior design, delivering one-of-a-kind fabrics, cushions, and upholstery for yachts, boutique hotels, and private residences around the world.

“Our transition into interiors felt natural,” says Riccardo Bruni, Founder and Creative Director at Lyria. “Spaces deserve the same tactile richness and narrative depth as garments— and Saudi Arabia, with its cultural vision and passion for design, is the ideal canvas.”

Lyria’s expansion into the Gulf region is perfectly timed. As giga-projects such as NEOM, Diriyah Gate, and Red Sea Global reshape the Kingdom’s landscape, demand is growing for interiors that blend international luxury with local nuance.

While not yet publicly disclosed, Lyria is actively engaging with architects, designers, and developers across the region to provide tailored textile solutions for hospitality and high-end residential environments. The atelier’s collaborative approach, co-developing designs, prototyping rapidly, and delivering with precision, makes them a natural partner for large-scale, bespoke projects.

As sustainability becomes a cornerstone of Vision 2030, Lyria’s practices stand out. From repurposing surplus fabrics and using natural dyes (including coffee, ash, and tea) to pioneering textile blends made from ocean-recovered plastics, the atelier’s

eco-conscious philosophy echoes Saudi Arabia’s environmental commitments. Their production methods also follow the ZDHC MRSL protocol, eliminating hazardous substances from the manufacturing process.

“Sustainability isn’t a marketing term for us, it’s part of our DNA,” adds Riccardo. “We’ve always believed in creating beauty with integrity.”

Lyria’s collections, inspired by nature and crafted with a ‘wabi-sabi’ appreciation for imperfection and authenticity, offer rich textures and earthy palettes that align with both contemporary Saudi design and traditional aesthetics. From date-palm tones to sun-baked terracottas and sand-hued linens, the brand’s materials feel at home in the Kingdom’s desert architecture and modern luxury interiors alike.

Lyria will showcase its interior design capabilities at the upcoming 17th Real Estate Development Summit in Portugal later this month, where its key objective will be to build lasting partnerships with Saudi developers and consultants.

The Middle East, and particularly Saudi Arabia, is central to Lyria’s growth strategy in the coming years.

“We’re not looking to scale in volume, we’re looking to scale in meaning,” says Riccardo. “Saudi Arabia’s emphasis on quality, artistry, and cultural legacy makes it one of the most exciting places in the world for design today. We’re here to contribute.”

Lyria is a textile atelier founded in 2002 in Prato, Italy. Renowned for its sustainable production methods and innovative designs, the brand has evolved from fashion to interiors, offering bespoke fabrics for luxury projects across the globe. Each Lyria fabric tells a story which is crafted with emotion, nature, and timeless elegance.

FROM sTATIC PLANs TO LIVING sYsTEMs, DEsIGNING CITIEs

As ECOsYsTEMs

Led by Sanjay Tanwani, AECOM’s Urban Advisory is redefining how cities are planned and delivered— with adaptability, systems thinking, and humancentric design at the heart of every strategy.

As urban challenges become more complex from climate change to rapid technological disruption, cities can no longer afford to rely on traditional rigid masterplans.

AECOM’s Urban Advisory, under the leadership of Sanjay Tanwani, Regional Director for the Middle East, is leading the shift toward planning cities as dynamic, responsive ecosystems.

“Cities are living ecosystems that shape us just as much as we shape them,” says Sanjay. “They must be designed not as static blueprints, but as adaptive organisms shaped by real-time data, evolving human needs, and flexible infrastructure.”

LEADING WITH VIsION, DELIVERING WITH PRECIsION

AECOM’s Urban Advisory operates upstream from traditional design practices, working with public and private sector partners to guide long-term urban development. The team bridges strategic vision with actionable delivery by embedding resilience, data analytics, and cross-disciplinary expertise into every project.

Developed to address evolving demands through 2030 and beyond, this plan integrates economic, spatial, and infrastructure planning with emerging priorities like sustainability, digital transformation, and people-centric growth. The result: a roadmap that aligns hard systems with human aspirations.

 Transforming Urban Corridors - This regeneration strategy lays the foundation for one of the city’s most ambitious renewal efforts. By combining a robust transport plan, flexible real estate framework, and adaptable implementation pathways,

AECOM’s Urban Advisory delivers a blueprint that is both visionary and executable.

ADAPTIVE PLANNING

At the core of Urban Advisory’s methodology is a commitment to adaptability. The team leverages urban analytics, scenario modeling, and digital platforms to design cities that evolve alongside social, environmental, and technological shifts.

 Tempos of Change: Development strategies account for shifting demographics, economic patterns, and climate realities.

 Systems Thinking: Multidisciplinary

collaboration ensures that urban challenges are tackled holistically, not in silos.

 Human-Centricity: Data-driven insights are used to anticipate and respond to the lived experiences of residents.

“We’re not designing for permanence,” says Sanjay. “We’re designing for change. That means building adaptability into the DNA of every plan.”

PLACING PEOPLE AT THE CENTER

While data and digital tools are crucial, Urban Advisory places a premium on inclusive engagement. Residents, policymakers, NGOs,

and business leaders all play a role in shaping responsive, inclusive urban environments.

“Data must serve people,” Sanjay emphasizes. “It can help us predict trends and optimize performance, but it’s people’s needs and aspirations that give our work purpose.”

When people are placed at the center of planning, cities become healthier, more productive, and socially cohesive— with stronger economic outcomes and improved national wellbeing.

CHALLENGEs AND OPPORTUNITIEs

Urban transformation in the Middle East presents a unique set of constraints and prospects:

Challenges:

 Car-centric planning and sprawling development

 Dominance of single-family housing despite changing family dynamics

 Harsh climate limiting walkability during warmer months

Opportunities:

 Surging investment in infrastructure and innovation, especially in Saudi Arabia

 Social shifts led by a young, digitally connected population

 Global attention from upcoming mega-events like Expo, the World Cup, and Winter Games

Quick Wins:

 Activate centrally located land with clear economic incentives

 Build on momentum from existing flagship projects

 Leverage evolving lifestyle trends to deliver more human-centered developments

“The cities that last are those that adapt,” Sanjay concludes. “It’s an old truth— just one we can’t afford to forget.”
