Architecture and interiors
From the first sketch to handover: design, materials and specifications, bill of quantities and supervision on site.

Architectural, interior and structural design, with supervision on site, for homes, commercial and public buildings.
Dar Al Benaa was founded by Dr. Mohamed Hafez Matthana, consultant structural engineer and associate professor at Mansoura University. Our architects, interior designers and engineers work on each project together, and have designed and supervised more than 800 projects.
No drawings yet? Photos of the site or a short description are enough. An engineer from our technical office will contact you to discuss your project.

AWhat we do
What brings you to us?
Pick the situation closest to yours. Each one shows where we would start.
01Building something new
A villa, residential building or commercial property on your own land, with one office responsible for the soil study, the design and the supervision.
First stepA soil investigation and a visit to your plot

02Redesigning or finishing a home
A villa, townhouse or apartment that needs a new layout, an extension or a complete interior, with a structural check on every change.
First stepA site visit to measure the unit and review its drawings

03An existing building that worries you
Cracks, settlement, an extra floor, or a new use for the building. We have carried out strengthening studies for hospitals, towers and university lecture halls. Cracks and settlement cost less to assess before they spread.

BServices
Our services
Take one service or several. When a project needs more than one, the same team carries it from one stage to the next.
From the first concept to construction drawings and structural calculations, with architecture and structure worked out together from the start.
Systems sized by calculation and routed around the structure before work starts, so nothing has to be cut or redone on site.
Engineers on site who check quality, coordinate the contractors and keep the schedule and budget in view.
Inspection, concrete testing, load tests and analysis of existing buildings, then the strengthening design the structure needs.
Boreholes and laboratory tests that establish how much the ground can carry and which foundations suit the building.
Structural reports and the engineering documents a building needs to meet the code and local regulations.
A review of the design and specifications that lowers cost without lowering quality, safety or performance.

Drawings help, but a short description or a few photos are enough to start.
