Mohammed Adib draws on his childhood curiosity and a dislike for design uniformity in his work at Dewan Architects + Engineers<\/p>\n

\"\"
Dewan\u2019s strategy has been to remain creative, and forward-thinking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A s a young boy, Mohammed Adib spent his weekends bolting between cranes, girders, and scaffolding, shadowing his contractor father through construction sites. Kicking up dust in oversized boots and a hard hat slipping over his eyes, he jumped at any task the workers handed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent all my spare time on building sites,\u201d Adib recalls. \u201cThose early days ignited my fascination with how people interact with spaces and structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really against globalised designs. Architecture should enhance its surroundings, not overshadow them, and it must balance beauty with practicality<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, as chief design officer at Dewan Architects + Engineers, Adib channels childhood curiosity into redefining urban landscapes. Since joining Dewan in 2017, he has been tasked with unifying the firm\u2019s design language across all projects and offices. By cementing strategic partnerships and exploring new markets, such as Saudi Arabia, he has positioned Dewan at the forefront of the region\u2019s architectural renaissance in recent years.<\/p>\n

Adib\u2019s journey, like his designs, is defined by movement. Educated in the UK and Spain, he transformed a gap year into a global expedition, working at 11 architectural firms across multiple countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchitects are natural nomads,\u201d he says. \u201cTravel is our greatest source of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adib\u2019s exposure to diverse architectural styles and cultures instilled in him the importance of designing buildings that reflect their surroundings. While working in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, he noticed that designs disconnected from their environments often felt impersonal and out of place. This experience cemented his opposition to cookie-cutter architecture, which prioritises uniformity over local context.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really against globalised designs,\u201d Adib says. \u201cArchitecture should enhance its surroundings, not overshadow them, and it must balance beauty with practicality.<\/p>\n

Mohammed Adib of Dewan Architects + Engineers draws inspiration from diverse architectural styles to create singular designs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is a philosophy that defines Dewan\u2019s projects. Take Port de la Mer in Dubai, for instance. Inspired by Mediterranean fishing villages, the project balances pedestrian-friendly avenues, open public spaces, and sweeping marina views. But adapting the charm of a Mediterranean village to meet Dubai\u2019s market demands wasn\u2019t without its trials. The project required extreme standardisation to ensure quality and speed in construction, especially given a tight budget.<\/p>\n

While Port de la Mer exemplifies Dewan\u2019s ability to adapt, Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia represents the firm\u2019s ambition to push the boundaries of design and technology. Tasked with delivering one of the most complex Building Information Modelling (BIM) projects ever developed, Dewan\u2019s team synchronised intricate design elements across multiple disciplines in real time, ensuring precision and sustainability targets were met.<\/p>\n

Such large-scale projects highlight the growing need for efficiency and precision, which Dewan addresses through its innovative approach to design technology. Beyond individual projects, the firm is fully embracing the industry\u2019s technological transformation.<\/p>\n

Through their Modern Architecture and Design (MAD) department, Dewan is exploring groundbreaking innovations such as 3D printing, offsite manufacturing, and artificial intelligence. These advancements optimise workflows, enhance quality control, and automate routine processes, allowing architects to focus more on the creative elements that define their projects.<\/p>\n

“Technology is revolutionising how we approach design,\u201d Adib explains. \u201cIt frees us from mundane tasks, giving us the freedom to focus on the creative and human aspects of architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under his guidance, the firm\u2019s portfolio has expanded to include urban masterplans, cultural centres, and major residential developments throughout the Middle East. This work reflects his belief that architecture must serve both people and the planet, placing Dewan at the forefront of sustainable urbanisation in one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing regions.<\/p>\n

Still, navigating new markets comes with its own set of hurdles. Rapid expansion into places like Saudi Arabia requires balancing Dewan\u2019s design principles with each region\u2019s regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Technology is revolutionising how we approach design<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cEvery market has its challenges,\u201d Adib says. \u201cIn Saudi Arabia, the cultural and architectural transformation is massive. We\u2019ve had to adapt to new regulations and evolving client expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another challenge is promoting sustainable practices in regions where the concept is still emerging. Convincing clients of the long-term environmental value of sustainable design isn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s often tension between short-term costs and long-term environmental impact,\u201d he adds. \u201cPart of our role is to show how sustainable practices protect the environment and offer operational savings over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dewan\u2019s strategy has been to remain creative, and forward-thinking. The firm is currently focusing on off-site and modular construction methods, actively reducing both the use and quantity of concrete, while exploring the potential of timber construction, amongst other innovations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re moving into an era where architecture must be flexible,\u201d Adib explains. \u201cWith rapid technological advancements and shifting societal needs, buildings should be like living organisms\u2014capable of adapting and responding.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Adib, flexibility is key not only in design but also in anticipating future challenges. Dewan\u2019s projects are increasingly focused on creating sustainable, resilient structures that can meet the demands of both today and tomorrow, whether that\u2019s through reducing carbon footprints, embracing new technologies, or fostering stronger connections between people and their environments.<\/p>\n

Indeed, what began as a childhood fascination with construction has evolved into a lifelong commitment to human-centred design for Adib. Under his leadership, Dewan is shaping skylines and creating spaces that connect people with their cities, reflecting both the needs of today and the uncertainties of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Nomura Bank, Hanoi, Vietnam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by the organic shape of a leaf, Nomura Bank\u2019s residential project in Hanoi weaves natural elements\u2014 wind, sunlight, and water\u2014into its design. Six towers arranged in a radial layout provide panoramic views and enhance ventilation, rising from an organic podium that integrates with surrounding green spaces and vertical gardens. Balancing traditional and modern Japanese design principles, this sustainable development fosters a deep connection with nature while providing urban amenities, according to Adib. \u201cEach tower becomes a leaf in the greater canopy of the city,\u201d he says, \u201ccreating an oasis of calm in the urban landscape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Vung Tau Hotel, Vung Tau, Vietnam<\/strong><\/p>\n

An architectural tribute to Vung Tau\u2019s coastal legacy, the Vung Tau Hotel takes inspiration from the area\u2019s history as a trio of villages called Tam Th\u1eafng (Three Boats). Three interconnected towers, positioned for expansive ocean views, incorporate a fa\u00e7ade inspired by M\u0169i Nghinh Phong (Cape of Welcome Breeze). \u201cTriangular geometries reflect the rhythmic movement of waves,\u201d says Adib, enhancing the connection between the building and the natural landscape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Layan Verde, Phuket, Thailand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed with biophilic principles, the 78,087-square-metre development, set against Phuket\u2019s western coastline, will include two hotels, 134 branded condominiums, and 625 residential units. Each space offers ocean views while ensuring privacy through innovative design and cascading greenery. \u201cLayan Verde\u2019s philosophy of \u2018see but not be seen\u2019 invites residents into a sanctuary of solitude amidst nature,\u201d says Adib. The project\u2019s first phase is anticipated to be completed in 2027, setting new standards in sustainable, luxury living.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Port de la Mer, Dubai, UAE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dubai\u2019s first freehold community in Jumeirah, Port de la Mer, channels Mediterranean coastal charm, drawing inspiration from Italian and Spanish architecture. Dewan Architects crafted the masterplan around a superyacht marina, evoking the feel of Porto Montenegro. Six zones with terracotta and yellow-toned buildings bring an authentic seaside atmosphere to life, complemented by amenities like pools, gyms, and beach access. \u201cWe wanted Port de la Mer to echo the vibrancy and authenticity of Mediterranean waterfront living,\u201d explains Adib. \u201cVibrant piazzas, waterfront boutiques, and dining options create a lively urban environment at the water\u2019s edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Sol Forest, Hanoi, Vietnam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Incorporating urban and rural elements, Sol Forest integrates urban aesthetics with the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside, creating a vertical green haven. Each apartment offers a view of verdant fa\u00e7ades, providing natural shading and echoing Vietnamese community culture. \u201cOur aim was to bring the essence of nature to the heart of the city,\u201d says Adib, \u201cmaking Sol Forest both a residence and a green retreat that aligns with the client\u2019s vision for sustainable urban living.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Dragon Tower, Hanoi, Vietnam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Embodying Vietnam\u2019s cultural depth and the Year of the Dragon\u2019s symbolism, Dragon Tower is a collaborative effort by Dewan and TTAS, designed for government offices near West Lake. Shaped like a dragon\u2019s head, it stands as the tallest structure in the vicinity. \u201cThe scale-inspired fa\u00e7ade echoes Vietnam\u2019s historical narratives, embodying resilience and adaptability,\u201d explains Adib. Elevated on stepped platforms to mitigate flooding, Dragon Tower\u2019s design fosters interaction with the landscape, merging tradition with modern urban solutions.<\/p>\n
