Yaghmour Architects

What Yaghmour Architects does

The firm operates from a renovated 1940s traditional house in Amman's Luweibdeh district (headquarters) and a regional office in Dubai's Business Bay, secured projects through design competitions, direct commissions, and reputation-driven referrals from government agencies, banks, real estate developers, telecommunications firms, and religious endowments. Named clients include Arab Bank, Royal Jordanian, Zain, Emaar, Meydan Group, Greater Amman Municipality, Cham Bank, Omani Ministry of Information, and Sijal Institute. Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees, with pricing determined by scope and complexity; the firm reports approximately 45 employees, is privately held and founder-controlled, and has accumulated recurring features in architectural publications including ArchDaily, Middle East Architect, and Brownbook.
