Founded in 2016 by Rasha and Hiba
Rasha and Hiba met as architecture students in Muscat and worked for large practices in the Gulf before opening Riwaq in Al Khuwair. Today the studio has eight people and works across Oman.
About us
Mission and values
We design buildings that respect their site and their climate, cost what we said they would and are a pleasure to live and work in. We value clear communication, careful detailing and local materials.
Rasha, design and planning
With more than ten years of experience in residential and public buildings, I make sure every design is practical, buildable and built to last.
Hiba, materials and innovation
I bring fresh ideas, new materials and smart technology to every project, with an obsession for the details that make a space special.
