In 1972, André Bekhazi founded BEKHAZI, an architecture consulting office that built its reputation and clients’ trust on the pillars of functionality and aesthetics; with projects such as: the St Nicolas Cathedral in Beirut; La Collina Country Club in Rabieh; several residential projects in Faqra and various others for the Middle East & Europe.
Driven by his passion for spaces and people living within them, Philippe André Bekhazi joined the office in 2011, to build on the existing values of the practice and bring in his beliefs in a sustainable, integrated & contemporary architecture.
Our mission is to design and build spaces; that feel good to our clients & our communities; and to create Architecture to the most innovative, sustainable & inspiring standing, in form & function
We provide architectural services from conceptual design to construction supervision. Our team of architects, designers & specialized artists, works in tandem with the most renowned engineering firms in Lebanon and the Middle East in order to deliver turnkey projects to our clients.
