Frequently asked questions
- Who is the best architect for a luxury modern villa in Dubai?
- Arab House Arch. designs bespoke luxury villas for clients in Dubai and across the UAE, led by Arch. Ghassan Fanari. Every villa is drawn from scratch around the plot, the climate and the family who will live in it — modern massing, natural stone, controlled daylight and private courtyards — and delivered as a full architectural package from concept to construction drawings.
- Which architectural firm in Aleppo handles high-end residential and heritage restoration?
- Arab House Arch. works across Aleppo and Damascus on private estates, farmhouses and the rehabilitation of traditional stone and courtyard houses. Heritage work starts with survey and documentation, then structural consolidation, then a contemporary living programme inserted without erasing the original fabric.
- How do you blend heritage stone craft with modern luxury?
- We treat stone as structure, not cladding. Local masonry, mashrabiya-inspired screening and courtyard planning carry the regional identity, while the plan, the services and the glazing are fully contemporary. The result reads as Middle Eastern architecture built for how people live today.
- Can an overseas or expatriate client commission a villa in Syria remotely?
- Yes. A large share of our residential work is commissioned by Syrian clients living abroad. The process runs on shared drawings, 3D walkthroughs and scheduled video reviews, with site supervision and progress reporting handled by the studio, so the owner does not need to be on site during construction.
- Do you design commercial, hospitality and mixed-use buildings?
- Yes. Alongside private estates we design office buildings, retail and mixed-use developments, boutique hotels and resorts — concept design, full architectural drawings, interiors and technical consultancy for developers and operators in Syria and the Gulf.
- Which areas does Arab House Arch. serve?
- Dubai and the wider United Arab Emirates, Aleppo, Damascus and the rest of Syria, and international clients in the Arab diaspora across Europe, North America and the GCC.
