Founded in 2006 in Cairo, Egypt, Dar Arafa is an award-winning design-and-build architecture studio that serves clients across the Middle East, the MENA region, and international markets. Led by Egyptian architect Waleed Arafa, together with principals Nisreen Moustafa (interior design) and Daniel Kaldas (architectural design), our studio is committed to delivering architecture that is both innovative and timeless.

At Dar Arafa Architecture, we believe in the power of contemporary design rooted in cultural and heritage context. Every project follows our guiding philosophy of making the contemporary timeless—creating designs that respect history while embracing modern life. Through this approach, we craft spaces that carry deep meaning and identity while remaining relevant across generations.

Our portfolio spans residential homes, private villas, corporate offices, retail spaces, public buildings, and large-scale institutional projects. Beyond architectural design, we also excel in master planning, where we envision long-term, sustainable developments that strengthen communities. In addition, our interior design expertise enhances every project by shaping environments that balance comfort, elegance, and purpose while reflecting the lifestyle and brand of each client.

As a full-service design-and-build studio, we manage the entire process from concept to construction. This integrated approach ensures precision, consistency, and seamless realization of every design vision. By combining creativity with technical excellence and hands-on execution, we deliver projects that consistently meet—and often exceed—the highest international standards.

We invite you to explore the Dar Arafa Architecture portfolio and discover how our work continues to redefine architecture in Cairo, the Middle East, and beyond. Whether you are seeking innovative design, sustainable master planning, or bespoke interiors, our studio transforms vision into reality—bringing creativity, heritage, and craftsmanship together in every project.
