Innovations

Array-Art LLC (Registration Number: 829827) was established by a team of highly-experienced engineers back in 2010 as SMO company (Registration Number: 390708) for building construction and completed more than $40M projects. 

In 2018, the company has been reformed to be focused on architecture to satisfy the new demand of market for sustainable architecture transition. Array-Art have been Accredited by Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology to be a knowledge-based company. Due to the high increasing demand of sustainable architecture in the country and increasing the energy carriers price, through the board meeting, SMO company has been considered as a mother company and a new company was registered to focus on all aspects of sustainable architecture including social, economy, and environmental. 

This new company benefits the impressive background and reputation of the mother company with a new perspective to keep up with the leading international companies in sustainable architecture.
