DAJH Offshore

Aouad and El-Haddad have set up a new entity for their ongoing collaboration to run their international projects operations. DAJH Architects Offshore will replace the formerly known “Hands” company and will have its offices in Mkalles Industrial Area. DAJH reinforces its identity as a design based firm, which places significant emphasis on its ability to assess and respond to the urban design, environmental, cultural, programmatic and aesthetic issues of each project. Fundamental to its practice is the emphasis it places on the rigorous examination of the specific programmatic issues underlying each project, and the consequent preparation and critiquing of a range of design options for each project. At the heart of DAJH work is a commitment to shaping the built environment both in the service of humanism and the longevity of our planet.

While covering now a wider range of creative services, platforms and scales to create unique user experience, the office will continue to handle projects dealing with commercial, residential, hospitality and multi-functional spaces. The firm’s philosophy is based on the exploration and understanding of contemporary architectural issues through an innovative and creative process, leading eventually to smart and adaptive solutions to meet client’s needs. DAJH is always seeking to be informed about everything that was designed in the past and on a daily basis. Their interdisciplinary design process ensures that the projects’ high design works constantly thrive to meet sustainable building performance, bringing a diverse perspective to the design process and acquiring knowledge as it is the foundation for all design processes.
