Who We Are
We believe that architecture is a living dialogue – connecting past and present, culture and innovation, people and place.
Founded in 1979 by Dr. Rasem Badran, Dar Al Omran – Rasem Badran (DAO-Badran) is a multidisciplinary consultancy specializing in architecture, engineering, urban planning, landscape architecture, and project delivery. We design places that respect local identity, support sustainable development, and create lasting value for communities across the Middle East and beyond.
Our Manifesto
We believe that architecture is the art of connection: honoring the stories of the past while designing spaces that inspire the future.
From bustling cultural centers to tranquil urban sanctuaries, every space reflects our commitment to heritage, human connection, and harmony with nature.
In every project, we honor the land it stands on and the heritage it carries, blending the wisdom of history with the tools of tomorrow to build a sustainable, human-centered future.
From cities and cultural destinations to residential, hospitality, healthcare, and commercial developments, our work is guided by one purpose: designing places that improve lives while respecting their identity.
We are Dar Al Omran-Rasem Badran.
Architects of legacy. Designers of connection.
