Flowing between generations shaping space

About Us

Form follows character.

We don’t begin with form. We begin with people.

A studio where curiosity spills over, restless, undisciplined, alive.
Each project is not a repetition but a translation: your character unfolding into volume.
We listen, we interpret, we distort just enough, so that what emerges is both true and unexpected.

Originality is never applied; it seeps in. But character remains the axis. Always.

From Lebanon to elsewhere we approach each work as a chance to become something else. To think differently. To build differently. To carry an idea from its first breath to its built body, through the talented hands of our in-house construction team.

Founded 28 years ago by Marc Antoine Kikano, later joined by Mia Massoud, the dialogue continues to grow through a shared passion for architecture, one that they both also pass on to future generations through their teaching at l’Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts, where their paths first crossed.

  • We work across interior architecture and architecture, supporting projects from early concept through execution. We also provide landscape consultancy, allowing interior, built form, and outdoor spaces to develop as one continuous experience.

    Our work includes residential, commercial, hospitality, and renovation projects. Where helpful, execution is supported by in-house construction teams, allowing ideas to move from design to built space with care and consistency.

  • Our process begins with listening. Through conversation, the project finds its direction, allowing space, use, and atmosphere to align in a way that feels natural.

    Design and execution evolve in continuity. With design and construction working closely together, decisions remain grounded as the project progresses. We work hand in hand with the maître d’ouvrage, keeping the process attentive, transparent, and steady from first sketches to completion.

  • Budget is part of the conversation from the start. Design choices are made with an understanding of cost, material, and long-term use, helping the project move forward without tension.

    We take care of coordination across all stages, including construction when involved, so the process remains clear and fluid. Projects usually begin with an initial conversation, followed by a proposal outlining scope, timing, and next steps.
