The studio
A courtyardat the centre.
Finaa means courtyard: the shaded heart of a Gulf house. Every project we draw starts from that idea.
We opened in Shatti Al Qurum in 2012 with one drawing table and a house for a friend. Today eleven architects and interior designers work in the same building, a short walk from the sea.
We take on a small number of projects each year so the people you meet in the first site visit are the people who hand you the keys.
Most of our work is in Muscat and across Oman — new homes, renovations, interiors and small hospitality projects.
