Every individual/employee/corporate or business leader strives to achieve a successful epoch that is satisfying and worth the hard work. But success belongs to very few. It belongs to those who work hard, who look beyond the edge, turns problems into solutions, and join hands with the world in its collective progress. These few are the true trailblazers. They not only imprint their unique foothold in the industry space with a unique approach but also exemplify innovative leadership in cutthroat business competition. As they step up into business, these trailblazers ensure to shed light on every community, make effective utilization of each and every resource, provide reasonable remuneration and grow every community collectively.

Let’s know more about Muhannad Kurdi and how his passion has driven him to build MK Architecture Designs’ success.
Muhannad Kurdi – A Dynamic Leader in the Design Architecture Space!
The stepping stone of every leadership has been based on the emergence of a solution. Sometimes this solution can be solving a problem or at times, it is providing an enhanced quality over the pre-existing business practices. And, Muhannad Kurdi has been a mix of both. But essentially, he has been a passionate wheel in the development of architecture in the Middle East space.
Born in 1989 in Saudi Arabia, Muhannad was passionate about architectural designs and the creative zeal that is required while infusing cultural and renaissance concepts into architecture. This made him study engineering and further pursue his professional career in the world of architecture. Furthering ahead into his career, Muhannad started with his job where he was blessed to work on innovative projects that led him to be the founder of Al-Farsi Towers in Jeddah and Obhur Al-Janoubia on the sea. This venture not only gave an in-depth understanding of the architecture industry but also explained Muhannad, the intricacies that go into the construction of real estate projects. With such learnings, Muhannad was inspired to venture into establishing his own business.
Starting his journey into the corporate world, Muhannad knew about his design skills. He took one step at a time but ensured that his work defines his intent of creating the best. And, furthering into the industry with passion and resilience, Muhannad brought ideas into life while creating beautiful, comfortable, and unique imprints in the urban engineering field. This led Muhannad to have a propelling and igniting start in architecture and also opened his doors to innovative leadership across Saudi Arabia.
Reminiscing about his inception story, Muhannad says “It is my passion before it becomes my specialty. My goal is to be number one in the world.” But essentially Muhannad’s leadership had been more based on an innovative approach to architecture design. When he initiated his journey in 2015, he had been working for Saudi Basic Industries Corporation and later started his business project. Initially, he started designing external and internal architectural design and supervising a project that started with small villas and restaurants until it expanded to towers, hospitals, plans, and entire neighborhoods.
A Sneak Peak into MK Architecture and Design
Muhannad Kurdi (MK) is an architecture and design firm located in Khobar but often works on many projects across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The firm offers services such as architecture design, interior design, landscaping, and consulting services for both residential and commercial purposes.
Incepted in 2015, the company started with one employee, and Muhannad was the Founder and CEO. He was the success factor for MK Architecture and now the company has expanded to 3 branches in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al-Khobar. Muhannad shares about the company’s growth and says, “We have exceeded 24 employees. We have existing projects inside and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our projects have reached all Gulf countries in Qatar, and Dubai. And Kuwait and the Middle East and also in Europe, America, and soon all over the world.”
Having a vision of a global footprint, Muhannad ensures to facilitate his customer with trust and empathy. Rather than being rigid about the industry practices, his company—MK Architecture, takes a new turn into consumer customization and facilitates every service in such a way that it fulfills consumer perception that ultimately leads to a happy clientele. This has resulted in the increased demand for customers for MK Architecture services. Its ongoing projects have been a rising temptation in the real estate industry and future projects have been booming the market with surprises and excitement.
Being the best in what it does, MK Architecture’s primarily focuses on designing creative concepts into infrastructure. Under the leadership of its CEO—Muhannad, the company has created a strong foothold in the organization with unique and standout projects. Out of many, few attractive projects have been into the residential, commercial, and entertainment centers. These projects reflect upon the significant potential of Muhannad Kurdi and his visionary acumen for the Middle East development.
MK Group has built multiple projects inside and outside the Saudi Kingdom, the most important of which are residential projects, towers, hospitals, and commercial and entertainment centers. One of MK Group’s most prominent services is design, which includes interior design, architecture, construction, electromechanical plans, energy efficiency plans, infrastructure, project management, and supervision. MK Group owns a contracting company to implement existing and exciting works.
With such project accomplishment, the company takes pride in itself and acknowledges its potential across the global architecture space.
Struggles that turned Muhannad into a Magnificent Glory
Such a grand success of Muhannad Kurdi might look like a cakewalk. But, the true story has something more to say. When Muhannad started his academic and professional journey, he started it alone. No assistance, no angel investors, and neither any business backup in case of failures nor any alternative to keep the business flow with capital management. Realizing such risks, Muhannad understood that quality is king and hence, he ensured to provide the best quality to his customers. Initially, he was alone but gradually with his rising popularity amongst his consumer, Muhannad expanded with potential talents. And, as time passed and his business grew, he made sure that he associated with the best talent. And, this had been quite a challenge for Muhannad.
Even though the global architecture space is filled with passionate and artistic architects, it had been very tough to reach up to engineers who are equipped to provide quality work. Sharing insights about his struggle, he points out, “Attracting professional engineering cadres to produce the best engineering quality at the hands of highly qualified engineers with more than 15 years of experience has been my challenge.”
But Muhannad just didn’t stop here. With his resilient approach, he onboarded the best talents available and made a strong team that is not only beneficial for business but also an advantage for Muhannad’s vision of a global footprint. This had been a vital step for Muhannad’s sustainable approach to business.
Leading Sustainable Business Practices
Being a leader on all fronts of his business, Muhannad understands the importance of trust-based leadership. He knows that establishing a business is more about connecting with the community and building up an ecosystem that goes beyond the cost-benefit analysis. Hence, Muhannad stays true to his principles. This can be also cited in the mission and vision of MK Architecture.

About the Leader
Muhannad Mansour Kurdi was born (03 -May- 1989) in Saudi Arabia – Dhahran. He studied at the Umm al-Qura University of Architecture in Mecca. He was passionate about drawing and building since childhood. During his university program, he was studying and worked in the field of architecture. Then he graduated and worked for a company in Jeddah that built more than one residential tower. Further, he was the engineer who founded the Al-Farsi Towers in Jeddah, and Obhur Al-Janoubia on the sea.
After that, his career and his passion got unified in the world of engineering. He wanted to create an engineering world that did not exist for him, to transfer society to a new civilization, culture, and vision, because engineering is not just drawing and building, but rather a mirror that reflects the culture of peoples, their renaissance, and development. After that, the largest companies in Saudi Arabia started offering Muhannad job offers, the most important of which are Armco and SABIC. Mr. Kurdi has been employed at SABIC for 5 years. He says, “The time has come for me to be Muhannad Kurdi’s footprint in the world of engineering so that the world knows who I am.”
