Since we embarked on our journey in 2005 as Habif Architects, we have been actively involved in the fields of architectural and interior design, as well as project development and execution.
We are a dynamic team that works together with passion and determination to achieve the highest quality results. Our work system, where we share responsibility as part of a team, fosters a sense of belonging and, when necessary, empowers us to be more innovative and solution-oriented as individuals.
Approaching the project process as an architectural firm, we integrate our accumulated experience with a contemporary perspective into our projects. We believe that the ability to transform the traditional into the timeless without being conventional is the key to success in today’s architectural and design ethos. At Habif Architects, we aim to create spaces that are poised to be timeless, characterized by functionality, flexibility, and high design value.
As we keep up with emerging material technologies and their applications, creating the right detail solutions and transforming conventional solutions are crucial for turning design into a successful product. In this context, Habif Architects brings together our vision and knowledge to strive for the right solution in both design and execution.
