MUSCAT : Samou bint Amer Tabuk shared her inspiring journey from a student with a dream to the founder of Sumou Design Studio, a project launched in 2019 with backing from the Public Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises.

The idea for Sumou Design Studio emerged from the increasing demand for innovative and sustainable design solutions in Oman. Tabuk’s vision is to positively impact the architectural landscape and provide tailored designs for individuals and institutions alike. Since its inception, the studio has evolved from handling small projects to achieving significant milestones, including large-scale commercial work and residential designs.
