SOM – Architects in Dubai
SOM, an architectural powerhouse, isn’t just a firm—it’s a legacy that embodies a collaborative spirit. Established over 80 years ago, SOM stands tall on the foundational principle of interdisciplinary design.
The Founding Philosophy
A Partnership for Progress
In 1936, the union of two architects and an engineer laid the groundwork for SOM. This early recognition of interdisciplinary collaboration set the stage for an evolution that included urban designers, interior designers, and more. This diverse blend of skills and perspectives has been the driving force behind our groundbreaking design solutions.
