About & CV — Osman A. Hadra

Profile

Another way of thinking

I treat a building's structure, its light, and the identity it carries as one continuous design problem — not three separate jobs.

Based in Muscat and available for relocation to Saudi Arabia, my work spans luxury residential architecture, hospitality and retail interiors, landscape design, and sustainable, parametric institutional projects — including the Sudan Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016. I lead teams of up to 20 across all disciplines, managing budgets beyond OMR 300,000 from concept to handover.
