The firm operates from over 54 offices throughout the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe and is renowned for its capability to manage large-scale projects in various sectors including master planning, landscape architecture, all types of engineering, transportation, energy, and building design.

Our Impact: From designing infrastructure for Europe’s most ambitious new airport and supporting the largest renewable energy intervention program in Sub-Saharan Africa to delivering the world’s largest university for women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Dar supports clients on strategic and transformational projects that empower people, enhance communities, drive growth, and accelerate sustainable development.

Dar is the founding member of Sidara, a global collective of the world’s brightest and best planners, designers, engineers, and consultants who have come together on a shared mission: to advocate for the world as we would for our own home.

For us, that means taking on projects with courage and resilience, bravely setting up a home where others won’t go, intertwining ourselves with the communities we create for, and navigating immense complexity and ambiguity to empower our clients, craft solutions for the world’s most critical challenges, and deliver projects that elevate how people live, connect communities, and inspire global impact, all while showcasing and honoring the unique cultures we serve.

Dar and its sister companies under the Sidara Collaborative can offer a broad and integrated range of highly specialised and world-class services—from architecture and design, engineering, and project management to digital strategy, sustainability consulting, and energy innovation. Our capabilities empower clients to deliver complex, multidisciplinary projects that accelerate long-term human, social, and ecological advancement. And, for us, how we do what we do is just as important as what we do. That’s why our identity is rooted in advocating for humanity, elevating sustainability, and embracing digital innovation, as we design for a world that is as caring and as welcoming – for everyone – as home.
