(01) Studio
Port of Arch (POA) is an architecture and interior design studio founded in Jeddah in 2018. We work across education, retail, hospitality, workplace and private interiors — treating every brief as a single, specific opportunity rather than a variation on a style.
Our process is built on close collaboration. We listen first, study the site and its climate, then shape spaces that are functional, beautifully made and genuinely connected to the people who inhabit them.

(03) Index
We listen closely, study the place, and design spaces that are beautifully made and connected to the people who use them.
Every project starts with its place — the site, the climate, the street and the culture around it. We let those conditions shape the design rather than imposing a style.
From concept to construction we care about proportion, material integrity and how things are made. Good details are what people feel every day.
Daylight, shade, natural ventilation and durable materials come before mechanical fixes — spaces that perform well and age gracefully.
Complete interiors for workplaces, retail, hospitality and education — from space planning to joinery, lighting and finishes.
New buildings and façades shaped by site, climate and the way people will use them.
Clear concepts, mood boards and photorealistic 3D visualisation so you see the space before it is built.
Drawings, specifications, budgets and site coordination that carry the design through to completion.
