The awardwinning firm consists of architects, urban and master planners, interior, landscape and structural designers, engineers, quantity surveyors and project and design managers with a truly inimitable portfolio.
The firm had six employees, when the firm was acquired by its current CEO Ibrahim M. Jaidah, after which it grew to the current figure of over 500 highlyqualified professionals.

AEB aims to implement environmental concepts in its development and construction operations. In 2011 the firm officially became a founding organisation of the Qatar Green Building Council.
During an event in May 2015, hosted by Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC) about Doha’s current architectural transformation, Jaidah said: “In line with the current global architectural trends, Qatar is striving to ensure that its unique heritage and culture continues to live, grounding the foundation of the development on the adaptation of microclimatic techniques with an inspiration that attempts to recapture what made the original so special. There are different and interesting things on the horizon in Qatar’s architecture and its quality.”
