“2023 has been an extremely positive year for DSA. We had some significant contract awards and exciting projects across the MENA region. We’ve also managed to grow our staff complement considerably, in order to get the right talent in place to successfully deliver our projects. We are thrilled to be currently working with various PIF entities in KSA and we are extremely busy with several other hospitality, residential and commercial developments in the UAE and across the wider region. Our Riyadh office’s company’s formation / incorporation has also been completed with full professional engineering licence.,” shares Peter.
There is a solid business pipeline, which indicates that the team is well-positioned to deliver in terms of planning and resource availability.

DSA Architects International has delivered more than 500 projects in over 30 countries around the world for many different types of clients, from large corporations, specialist private developers, governments entities, directly for hotel operators, as well as individual investors.
“Our designers will always start with gathering information on local history, culture and the sense of place of the location and its people. We are guided not only by the brief and achieving the objectives of our clients, but also by a responsibility and desire to respect the heritage, tradition and progression of the existing built environment from place to place. Projects delivered by DSA are inevitably creative, innovative, respectful of their surroundings and, with a focus on structured, managed, and collaborative delivery through our added-value specialist design management service that we provide as standard, we provide the highest levels of coordinated, quality technical documentation,” he adds.
