Salim Kanawati
Architect & Designer
As an architect with a passion for creativity and a keen eye for detail, I bring a unique blend of influences to each project I undertake. My journey began in Damascus, where I cultivated my love for art and drawing from a young age. Inspired by the city's rich history and vibrant culture, I developed a deep appreciation for the intricate details and joyful spirit that define its traditional architecture.
Upon completing my studies in Damascus, I embarked on a new chapter in the country of my birth, Germany, where I had the opportunity to further expand my horizons. working with famous architects such as Hadi Teherani and pbp architekten, It was here that I embraced the principles of European simplicity, drawing inspiration from its clear, functional, and sophisticated design ethos, and also entering the airports world with travel retail and Terminal-planing by working for Gebrüder Heinemann in the Design Innovation Team.
My design philosophy revolves around putting the human experience at the forefront. I believe that every individual is unique, and as such, each project requires a customized approach tailored to meet their specific needs and aspirations. Functionality, sustainability, and clarity form the cornerstone of my work, as I strive to create spaces that not only enhance the quality of life but also promote a sense of happiness and calm.
I approach each project as a free soul, guided by a deep understanding of human nature and a commitment to delivering exceptional results. My goal is to create environments that inspire, uplift, and resonate with those who inhabit them.
