A Saudi company · Interior Design & Build
Turnkey Interior Experiences
End-to-end premium turnkey interior design projects, from deep research and brand strategy to every last finish. One interior design and build team for corporate, hospitality, and residential projects across Saudi Arabia.
The makan Way
In the conventional model, design happens blind.
Clients fall in love with a concept without knowing what it costs.
Then comes the bidding. Then the coordination. Then the compromises.
The result never matches the expectation.
That's why makan.design is design and build under one roof: one team designs, prices, and builds your space.
The conventional model
- Design without knowing the cost
- Painful bidding process after design
- Hire 5+ vendors separately
- Client manages all coordination
- Design degrades at every handoff
- No one stands behind the result
The makan Way
- Design and cost engineered together
- One team, one contract
- Brand strategy embedded in design
- Client approves at gates, we handle everything else
- Same team designs and builds, zero gap
- One team accountable for every detail
Our work
Offices in Riyadh and Dammam that speak for themselves.

What is makan Blueprint™?
A 2–3 week pre-project package. You see the concept and the real number at the same time, so if the number doesn't work, you find out now, not five months in.
Research
We survey and document your floor, and work through the brief: team structure, growth plan, brand.
Plan
We develop and test layouts against how your people actually work.
Design Concept
We set the direction: materials, palette and atmosphere, grounded in research.
Price
Our cost team prices the design concept line by line, building a full bill of quantities from it.
We present, and you decide.
We walk you and your stakeholders through everything in one session. Then the choice is yours: Design & Build, Interior Design only, or keep the Blueprint. No obligation.
How we work
Six stages. One team. Zero ambiguity.
Discover
We study your people, brand, and business before a single line is drawn.
Concept
Design direction, spatial strategy, and material palette. The creative vision takes shape.
Define
Real cost from a real BOQ. You see what you're getting and what it costs, together.
Design
Every detail resolved, every material specified, precise BOQ locked.
Build
You step back. Same team that designed it builds it. Every selection, every vendor, every finish.
Elevate
The project ends. The relationship doesn't. Review, photography, impact assessment.
In their words
What our clients say.
“We have collaborated with Makan for every new office we establish.”
We started working with Engineer Amal the founder of makan.design in 2016, and since then, we have collaborated with her for every new office we establish, whether for Raed Ventures or Almajdouie Group. Amal and her team are distinguished by their innovative office designs, always aimed at creating a productive and comfortable work environment.
“They exceeded all my expectations.”
I had a wonderful experience with Makan.design, and they exceeded all my expectations. From the very first moment I contacted them, I felt their professionalism and attention to detail. We started with a consultation session where they carefully listened to my needs and vision for the office. They then presented me with a range of innovative ideas and designs that perfectly aligned with my requirements. During the execution phase, the company was precise with deadlines and committed to quality. The team was extremely cooperative and always ready to answer any questions or make necessary adjustments. The final result was stunning. The new office is not only aesthetically beautiful but also practical, providing a comfortable and inspiring work environment.
“The office design perfectly reflects the calm, productive 'Zen' atmosphere we aim to foster.”
We are delighted with the incredible transformation that Makan.Design brought to our Riyadh office space. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic beauty have truly elevated the ZenHR work environment. The office design perfectly reflects the calm, productive 'Zen' atmosphere we aim to foster, inspiring creativity and serenity among our team members. Makan.Design has crafted a workspace that meets our practical needs and radiates the essence of ZenHR’s brand.
Who this is for
We work with organizations that take their space seriously.
Who we work with
We're selective.
We're not a fit out company that builds someone else's drawings, and we're not an interior design company that hands over drawings and walks away.
We don't take on projects where design is an afterthought. And we don't delegate. Every project gets senior creative leadership from first meeting to final handover.
Our methodology is built for projects where the brand needs to be felt in every surface, where the space has to perform, and where the outcome has to be worth standing behind.

Common questions
Before you ask, here's the answer.
What does “turnkey interior experiences” actually mean? What exactly is included and what isn't?
One team runs it all, from research and design to construction, furniture and handover, so you never coordinate separate vendors.
How much does turnkey interior design cost in Saudi Arabia?
There's no fixed price per m². makan Blueprint™ gives you a real, scoped cost plan in 2–3 weeks, before you commit.
What is the difference between turnkey and hiring a designer, contractor, and FF&E supplier separately?
Separate hiring leaves you coordinating three parties. With one team, design and cost are planned together, and one party answers for the result.
What kind of project is the best fit for makan.design?
Corporate headquarters, hospitality spaces and signature residences, where the space has to express a brand, a culture or an experience.
What is the main advantage of working with one team?
Lower total cost, less risk and less of your team's time, because one accountable team replaces the coordination.
What size projects do you take on?
Projects from 500 m² of interior space, typically headquarters, hospitality and signature residences.
Which areas of Saudi Arabia do you serve?
The Eastern Province and Riyadh. Projects in other Saudi cities are considered case by case.
