BAYAN PALACE
Commissioned 2021, original client relocated internationally. 400 sqm courtyard garden, 25-metre pool, 80-seat private cinema, Calacatta Oro marble from Carrara, French oak from Burgundy, Paris foundry metalwork.
Each QASR commission is an unrepeatable architectural event — designed from first principles for a single client, built over three years, delivered to a standard that has never required a second viewing to result in an agreement. There are no floor plans. There is only a conversation.

Delivered 2018. Owner relocated to London 2024 and has invited QASR to facilitate a discreet transfer to the right principal. Andalusian-influenced courtyards, hand-laid zellige tilework, climate-conditioned wine cellar for 1,800 bottles.
2,000 sqm in Mishref Block 1 secured. One client, one residence, three to four years from conversation to handover. Commissioned from 3,000,000 KWD. We are presently in conversation with three principals; one further conversation may be possible.
QASR was founded in 2016 by an architect and his first client. Eight years and twelve residences later, we have not changed the way we work, and we will not.
We meet, we listen, we decide together if this is right. Private meeting under NDA. We typically meet three times before continuing.
A Private Residence Brief — narrative, not floor plan. How rooms feel. How light moves through morning and evening.
One design — the right one. We design together, progressively, until the residence is inevitable rather than chosen.
Site team present every day. Every material inspected on arrival. Anything below standard is corrected, regardless of cost.
Three-day walkthrough. Zero-defect guarantee, in writing. Two years of post-handover service at no charge.
Twelve delivered. Eleven still occupied by original families. One resold at 40% above commission cost.
QASR residences are singular assets, closer to significant art than to property. They are not tracked by real estate indices.
On rare occasion an owner relocates. We facilitate off-market transfer under strict confidentiality, by invitation.
Our Confidential Intelligence System holds the complete knowledge of QASR. It speaks the way a senior private banker speaks — measured, in prose, never promotional. When a conversation reaches the right moment, the founding partner is reached personally.
I have lived in this residence for six years. In that time I have not once wished it were different. I have owned eight properties across four countries. This is the only one that feels built for me. Because it was.
Eleven months reviewing structural drawings. Found one item. QASR changed it without discussion, without charge, without making me feel I had caused a problem.
Eight architects before QASR. Every one showed me what they had done. QASR asked what we needed.
ما كنت أتوقع أن يكون البناء عملية ممتعة. لكن مع قصر، كل مرحلة كانت فرصة لتعلم شيء جديد.
I did not expect construction to be an enjoyable process. With QASR, every stage was an opportunity to learn something new.
We invite you to begin a conversation.
QASR does not have a sales team. Every inquiry is received by the founding partner personally within 24 hours.
