Architecture shaped by place and purpose.
Rani El Hachem Architects was founded in 2003. Our mandates encompass architectural design, urban planning, landscape architecture, and interior design, along with project management and engineering consultancy services tailored to the needs of our clients and the built environments we engage with. We emphasize sustainable design principles in our work to ensure a positive impact on the environment. Every project is led by the principal from the initial brief to the final handover. This continuity is not just a policy — it is fundamental to producing high-quality work.
Founded in 2003, we have over 30 years of experience in interior design, sustainable design, and urban planning. Teaching since 1993, we ensure that every project is Principal-led.
