    The Lebanese people are known for their innovations, skillfulness, and imaginativeness. Of the many Lebanese architects, one of them stands out with her creativeness.

    The Lebanese-French architect, Annabel Karim Kassar, grew major expertise in Architecture and Interior Design after founding her practice in Paris in 1994.

    The French-born architect has been credited for her breathtaking work, especially in Lebanon’s capital. In the 1990s, she was the winner of a competition aimed at reconstructing Beirut’s souks.

    Her architectural work range from Almaz by Momo, a restaurant in the UAE, and numerous residential, commercial, industrial, and hospitality projects in many countries.

    Along with AKK’s architectural practice, Annabel Karim Kassar has also created Caï-light, a company dedicated to Lighting Design.

    After the Beirut blast, the Lebanese architect worked on restoring the Bayt K façade, which inspired an exhibition in the prestigious V&A Museum in London, where the architect curated an installation aimed at honoring the historical architecture of Beirut.
