The people
Two studios, one practice.
An architecture studio and an in-house engineering team — design vision and technical delivery under one roof.

Founder
Boubker Benjelloun
CEO & Founder
Boubker founded the practice on a simple conviction: that architecture should serve people first. From landmark towers on the Palm to humanitarian work through The B. Foundation, the same design rigour runs through everything the studio builds.
