Simplicity Meets Authenticity by Maram Mokhtar Architects

Maram Mokhtar Architects in Saudi Arabia, founded by visionary designer Maram Mokhtar, is a testament to the power of dreams nurtured from childhood. From a young age, Maram was captivated by colors, arts, and interior design, leading her to pursue a career that blends passion with purpose. After years of honing her craft at elite firms, including Jacobs Engineering, Maram channeled her expertise into creating her own firm.

Originally launched in 2016 as Antakah, a brand specializing in modern Islamic furniture, the company expanded in 2018 to offer comprehensive design services. By 2023, it evolved into Maram Mokhtar Architects, embodying a new identity with timeless ambition. The firm is dedicated to delivering high-caliber work that combines international standards with a deep understanding of local contexts, producing premium residential spaces in KSA and the Gulf region.

Their award-winning project, “Simplicity Meets Authenticity,” located in the city of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, exemplifies the firm’s commitment to crafting contemporary luxury interiors with an artistic and exotic twist. This new build, a 400-square-metre residential villa, was completed in April 2024. The design draws inspiration from art, heritage, and the beauty of simplicity, resulting in a visually rich and welcoming space for a Saudi family.

Maram Mokhtar Architects provided soft interior design, and furniture selection, as well as collaborated with local manufacturers and showrooms to bring the project to life. The villa features unique elements like detailed Persian carpets and a thoughtfully curated color scheme, reflecting the firm’s dedication to creating spaces that are both luxurious and authentically personal.
