BUILD - Q3 2025 Based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Grid Design is a design studio specialising in architecture, interiors, FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment), landscaping, and construction supervision. This full-service approach allows the team to craft spaces that feel complete from every angle – elevating everything from cafés and villas to commercial spaces. We caught up with the studio’s own Nadha Muneer to learn more about how it blends the practical with the pleasantly unexpected. Best Interior & Architectural Design Office 2025 – Saudi Arabia Driven by the never-ending joy of seeing an idea become a reality, Grid Design is underpinned by more than 15 years of expertise in this space, resulting in its team having perfected every stage of the process to bring the visions of their clients to life with unrivalled precision and efficiency. Central to Grid Design’s ethos is the belief that timeless design is based on three principles: beauty, originality, and functional design. This is why every project carried out by the team is grounded in this infallible philosophy. Behind Grid Design’s distinction is the more than 300 completed projects and four decades of first-hand experience shared by its team of experts. These individuals have excelled across commercial, residential, and hospitality environments, turning potential into impact thanks to their blending of boundless creativity and demonstrable mastery. On the back of this, the firm’s shared vision is one of exceeding expectations at every turn, pushing boundaries and crafting bespoke stories for its clients through the power of design. The unbridled enthusiasm this team have can be seen across every unique experience Grid Design delivers, but one of the best examples of its outstanding effort comes from a project that is a personal favourite of Nadha and the team: Bakery M. A small, character-filled bakery in Jeddah, Bakery M is today brimming with bold colours, vibrant patterns, and an abundance of quirky details thanks to Grid Design’s eye for detail. Striking the balance between playful and practical was the biggest challenge for the team across this project, as they had to pull lots of different textures, materials, and styles together without the finished product looking messy. As for how the project went, Nadha told us: “We are really proud of how it turned out, especially how the detailed drawings and 3D visuals helped us nail every detail before the build. It’s fun seeing people walk in and instantly take photos – that’s when you know the space has something special.” As Bakery M perfectly encapsulates, there are always challenges in this line of work, regardless of how entertaining a project is to do. Be it changes in the budget, the evolution of ideas from both the design or the client side, or any other unexpected solutions, these difficulties require a team capable of thinking their feet. Luckily, the talented professionals behind Grid Design see these bumps in the road as chances to come up with better solutions, with their workarounds often being better than their initial plan. “I think this mindset is what really keeps us growing and pushing our work forwards.” Of course, even as it moves the needle and comes up with novel solutions to issues, Grid Design remains entirely focused on the client’s wishes, ensuring the space feels how they want it to feel. To make sure that everyone is on the same page throughout a project, the team also utilise mood boards, sketches, detailed plans, and true-to-life 3D renderings. The studio then makes sure never to take on more than a few projects at once, so that it can give each one the care it deserves across every stage of this indepth process. This sense of feeling mentioned above ultimately encapsulates what Grid Design is all about, as it recognises that design goes beyond how something looks. Rather than just being photogenic, these spaces all have an inherent energy, warmth, and personality, resulting in a tailored story and creations that feel ‘alive’. The behind-the-scenes posts the team share on their Instagram highlight the depth behind the surface-level appearance, but the quality of their work in the design space nevertheless speaks for itself. By being bold, mixing colours and textures, and conjuring up ideas no other studio could possibly think of, Grid Design is continuing to experience success – with the second half of 2025 set to be no different. With a number of F&B and boutique hospitality projects in the pipeline, more people across Jeddah will get to witness the studio’s unique brand, hopefully paving the way for Grid Design to expand across Saudi Arabia.
