Collective

Our strength comes from many layers, built over time.

Shabeeb Mohammed is a dedicated and innovative contemporary Architect with over a decade of experience in the field. Currently serving as the Co-Founder of the international practice Layers Architecture and as the Creative Design Lead at Shape Architecture Practice in the UAE, he has developed a strong reputation for his expertise in design, project management, and leadership. His career has taken him through prominent roles at NAGA Architects Dubai, M:OFA New Delhi, and Evolving Radical Aesthetics Calicut.

Ar. Abubacker Siddique is an architect whose work bridges international exposure with a profound sensitivity to context and culture. A graduate of Mohamed Sathak School of Architecture in 2013, he began his career in Dubai with Dimension International, gaining experience on complex global projects before moving to Abu Dhabi as a product designer with Al Hashem Marble Company, where he explored the expressive possibilities of materiality.

In 2020, he established SKAP Designs, a studio through which he has shaped architecture that is both innovative and rooted in purpose. His practice spans international projects for multinational clients, reflecting a global perspective anchored in human experience. In 2025, Siddique entered a new chapter as the co-founder of Layers Architecture alongside Shabeeb Mohammed, a collaborative practice dedicated to experiential, layered design that reimagines the architectural landscape of the Middle East.

A member of the Indian Institute of Architects (IIA), the Indian Institute of Interior Designers (IIID), and an empanelled licensee with the Kerala Local Self Government Department, Siddique continues to expand his contribution to architecture at multiple levels. For him, architecture is not merely the construction of buildings, but the art of crafting atmospheres — spaces that inspire, endure, and connect deeply with their users.

Najmul Haque is a Saudi-based entrepreneur with a strong architectural foundation, leading successful ventures across hospitality, real estate and trading.
