At SARAAJ, research into context and audiences becomes artistic concepts, spatial design and practical solutions. The five specialisms above are our main areas of collaboration. Depending on the brief, they can work together across projects ranging from an urban artwork to an architectural space or a leisure destination.
Working with Ondo Architecture Office, we develop architectural design from the brief and concept to functional planning, circulation, interiors and detailing. Galleries and museums, cultural and learning spaces, workplaces, shops and brand environments, cafés and restaurants, hospitality spaces, landscapes, exhibition stands, pavilions and temporary or interactive spaces are all part of this approach. Both a new spatial commission and the transformation of an existing place can be starting points.
Our process begins with the site, the client’s needs, audience characteristics and operating requirements. We then develop the narrative, concept, spatial programme, experience journey and initial design. Modelling, material and fabrication choices, technical coordination and detailing support the next decisions. For leisure projects, we also consider the mix of attractions and services, visitor capacity and opportunities for phased development.
Completing an artwork or space does not end the idea’s journey. With Hichaa, the next step may be choosing art that belongs in the setting and speaks to its audience. Bimarz carries the project’s story into images, sound and content that connect it with people.
Sometimes the next step is to take part. Maajaraa turns space and narrative into opportunities for play, discovery and learning. Across the city, Mashhad Art follows and records artistic practice through an independent editorial lens.
Listening and participation open further paths. Miyanmarz makes room for people’s stories and human questions, while Shahr Naghshafarin connects ideas with public dialogue and citizens’ participation in shaping their city.
