*We have news—and it’s big*
One of our shortlisted projects for the World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards has just been announced as the winner of the WAFX Award for Cultural Identity.
This is an incredible honour for all of us at Pinnacle Design Studios, and one that holds special meaning. We were excited to be chosen as finalists; but, to be recognised on a global stage as THE winners is real a moment of pride.
Winning in the Cultural Identity category speaks directly to our values, our roots, and our purpose. As proud Arabs and Muslims, this project was more than just architecture—it was a reflection of identity. A chance to thoughtfully express our Islamic heritage, to celebrate the richness and beauty of Arab culture, and to reinterpret timeless traditions through a contemporary lens.
In this project, we asked:
How can the spirit of our past inform the spaces of our future?
How do we honour faith and culture while designing for progress and change?
This recognition affirms our belief that design can be both innovative and deeply respectful of its context.
We are grateful to our extraordinary team, who bring this level of care, ambition, and excellence to every project we undertake. This award is yours.
Thank you for helping us tell our story—one rooted in heritage, shaped by purpose, and built for tomorrow.
