About Us

About Us:

FOUAD HASSANEIN ARCHITECTS is a collaborative design studio of architects, restorers and interior designers. Established originally by Engineer Ahmad Hassanein in 1980 under the name of “HASSANEIN ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION”, the firm changed the name to FH Architects in 2009 to reflect a renewed vision that matches the commitment to rigorous interdisciplinary designs. It positioned itself as the choice for those who value quality, creativity, and distinction. The practice undertakes works of all scales, spanning from small interior projects to large urban plans, throughout Lebanon and the Middle East and is closely involved in the design and follow-up of each project from concept design to delivery.
To date the firm portfolio consists of a variety of high-caliber projects including residential villas and buildings, offices, commercial, industrial, religious and educational facilities.

Design Methodology

Throughout the phases of design, we prioritize the needs of the clients while integrating the broader social and environmental impact of the project in the present and the future. We work hand-in-hand with our clients on design strategy, and involve them in all the processes of development by listening to their needs in order to create customized products and distinctive high-end projects.

Philosophy

At FH Architects, every project is unique to us. We carefully handle it with the desire to produce High quality architecture. The project should respond to the client’s aspirations and the specificities of its context as well as the nature and character of the site. We aim for the perfect design by discovering the precise qualities of each project and we expect the resulting building to be a landmark that leads the city and its inhabitants into a novel appreciation of space.

The Mission

Our mission is to exceed our clients’ expectations by providing exceptional designs that enrich the lives of the users while making a clear statement on the surroundings.

The Vision

Our vision is to shape and serve positively the cities and the communities through our creative designs.
