The hub was inspired mainly by the old traditional market ‘souq’ in the middle east, where the functions are almost the same. The narrow corridors passing through the retails, the universal canopy covering the spaces underneath creating an authentic urban experience and protecting people from the direct sun rays, along with the harsh stone covered facades with its traditional pattern. All designed with a contemporary treatment that fits perfectly with today’s retail brands as well as modern day costumers.

I am an Egyptian architect. Passionate about designing and creating solutions for our built environment. I believe this is the best way an architect can contribute to the community he/she belongs to. Architects in general are responsible for coming up and creating solutions to provide the best comfort and healthy environment inside and outside the buildings.
