Built Projects
INJ Architects was established in Jeddah in 2009. The work shown here is built — designed, supervised, and delivered on site across the office’s years of practice in Saudi Arabia.
The office has worked across residential, diplomatic, governmental, hospitality, and commercial typologies in Jeddah, Makkah, and the wider Western Region. The roles varied — architectural design, engineering supervision, project management, owner’s representation, and local consultancy. The standard did not.
This page is a record of selected built work documented through construction-phase and completion photography. It is not a presentation. Every project listed here was executed on site under the direct involvement of Principal Architect Ibrahim Nawaf Joharji. The methodology governing delivery across all typologies is detailed in how-we-work.
Governmental and Diplomatic
Built work delivered for governmental institutions and sovereign diplomatic missions. Projects in this category operate under institutional protocols, security requirements, and bilateral mandates that demand a level of professional precision and discretion beyond standard practice. For context on the office’s diplomatic delivery experience, see the Indonesian Consulate project documentation.
Hospitality
Hotel work in Jeddah and Makkah, ranging from early projects delivered in the office’s formative years to later commissions carried under full architectural mandate. Engagement spanned design, supervision, and owner’s representation. The office’s current approach to hospitality commissions is part of the broader engagement framework outlined in bespoke-architecture.
Residential
Private villas, mansions, and a compound across Jeddah and Makkah. Commissions of this kind are by nature the most personal: the client is the owner, the brief is identity, and the measure of success is lived experience. The office’s residential design philosophy is detailed under MFJ Mansion and Cannelloni Vertical Villas, with further reflection on the office’s approach to crafting bespoke mansions.
Commercial and Advisory
Commercial delivery alongside formal advisory engagement. Some of this work was carried under full design and supervision mandate; other projects were delivered in a local consultancy and owner’s representative capacity — roles that demand institutional familiarity, contractual clarity, and the ability to protect the owner’s interest within complex delivery environments. The office’s commercial project experience includes the Al-Aziziah Stores in central Jeddah and the Esnad Offices spatial reorganization in Riyadh.
For clients considering a commission — residential, governmental, diplomatic, or commercial — the submission requirements and scope of work the office accepts are outlined in full on the Start a Project page. The office’s sustainability framework and Archigenetics theory provide further context on the design principles that govern all built work.
Common Questions
This page is the office’s record of built work — projects executed on site and documented through construction-phase and completion photography. It can be found at injarch.com/built-work.
No. What is shown here is a selected record. A number of completed works are not published — among them hotels in Makkah, royal and private palaces, a mosque, and projects governed by confidentiality agreements that the office does not disclose. Discretion is owed to every client of this practice, and many commissions remain private by design.
The early years were a period of discovery, and the office values them as the foundation they were. But the practice does not stand still. The standard applied to each new commission is that it should be finer than the one before it — and the work the office produces today is not the work it produced at the beginning. This record is a starting point, not a ceiling.
