About Us

“SHAMS”, in Arabic, means sun and is the primary energy of life on earth called the source of life; in Arabic, the name of the mansions called “al AMARA”, and the beautiful name of Shams al Amara, is driven out of the light shown on the building and brightened it the sense of life.
This is also the name of the famous structure in Gajar era, which was one of the most famous ones of that time, as well. To the respect of invaluable architecture of IRAN, this name is taken for the studio.
Shams al Amara Studio, which is now based in UAE, Dubai, was established in 2013 in Iran as a brand in the architectural field and intensively performed various projects in southern cities of Iran, especially in Kish and other southern islands. Our team in Shams al Amara extensively performs projects in the UAE and Middle East region, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Shams al Amara Architecture Studio not only designs modern projects but also designs vernacular architecture, considering social, cultural, and architectural foundations in the Middle East as a mutual context.

The core purpose of Shams al Amara is focusing on both creative and practical designs, identity and the features of contextual architecture, reclamation, and expansion of upgradable and precious vernacular architecture. Making a new sight and vision of Arabic and Middle Eastern rich architecture that is combined with modern techniques and today's needs, which come from the civilization and natural growth of human beings for centuries, is the thing our team is technically following.
