Designeers Says
Studio Dua Abukhalaf works with a rare sense of calm precision. Material, structure, and context are allowed to lead, resulting in architecture that feels both grounded and forward-looking. The studio resists excess in favour of clarity, discipline, and emotional depth — an approach that is deeply considered, quietly expressive, and rooted in long-term architectural value rather than passing trends.
