Mohamed Harasani Architects

What Mohamed Harasani Architects does

Mohamed Harasani Architects (MHA) is a privately held, founder-owned architectural practice established in 1985 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, providing comprehensive architectural design and consultancy services across mixed-use developments, hospitality, residential, commercial, and institutional projects. The firm serves a diversified client base that includes major developers executing Saudi Vision 2030 projects, financial institutions (Al Rajhi Bank), government entities (King Salman Center for Disability Research), luxury hospitality operators (Fauchon Hotel Group, Assila Hotel), large real estate developers (Gold City Development), and ultra-high-net-worth individuals commissioning private residences. MHA operates from a Jeddah headquarters and a London creative hub opened in 2024, employing over 70 architects, engineers, and construction specialists, and has completed more than 300 projects across the Middle East, UK, and US.

MHA's service portfolio spans five integrated lines: architectural design (the core offering), interior design with focus on luxury hospitality and residential, masterplanning for large urban districts, visualization using V-Ray, Enscape, Houdini, and AI-assisted tools (ComfyUI, Leonardo, Magnify), and physical model making using 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser cutting. The firm operates as the preferred local execution partner for tier-one international design firms — notably SOM, Perkins+Will, and UNStudio — providing Saudi regulatory, cultural-context, and delivery expertise that foreign-only entrants must build from scratch. Notable commissions include the Al Rajhi Headquarters (58,000 m² with SOM), Gold City Jeddah (414,000 m² masterplan), Fauchon Hotel Jeddah (55,000 m²), Assila Hotel (47,000 m²), and the currently active Alwadi mixed-use complex in Mecca (500,000 m²).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional fees on custom commissions with scope-dependent, quote-driven pricing. The firm has no public pricing, no disclosed financials, and operates without external equity investment. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to developers, corporations, and government entities with channel partnerships through international firms seeking Saudi market access. Forward growth is anchored to Vision 2030 mega-project pipeline execution, particularly Alwadi, and to deepening of the London creative hub.
