Ao Architects

Ao Architects is an architecture office in Riyadh that blends traditional and modern design. We drew its mark from the letters A and o, one sweeping stroke with a raised o, set it in Arabic and English, and built a palette of plum, charcoal and amber with Gilroy and IBM Plex, then applied it to the office sign, stationery, opening posters and its digital presence.
