Established by Mehdi Esmaeili and Ehab El-Wishy in December 2021, we specialize in innovative and cost-effective architectural and structural systems for all types of buildings. Driven by a "four eyes are better than two" mindset, we prioritize collaboration as a key tool to spark innovation and cultivate creativity. This philosophy is reflected not only in our relationships with clients, architects, MEP, and other disciplines but also within our own team. Our principles, seniors, and every staff member work shoulder to shoulder, united by a single goal: a successful project.
