raeffahmi+
Established in 1991 by Architect Raef Fahmi, raeffahmi+ is a Cairo-based design and consultancy practice working across architectural design, urban planning, landscape architecture and design supervision.
Our vision
To shape environments that harmonize with the diverse cultural and social fabric of Egypt and the MENA region — creating timeless architecture and urban spaces that inspire communities and elevate quality of life.
With a reputation for innovative, context-driven design, the firm aims to balance functionality, aesthetics and long-term value.
Our mission
We design with sensitivity to context — social, economic, climatic and cultural — delivering architecture and urban design solutions that balance innovation with authenticity.
Our mission is to transform spaces into meaningful experiences, from intimate residences to landmark developments, while supporting sustainable growth and regional identity. Creativity, contextual sensitivity and community enhancement guide the work.
Our objectives
Design excellence. Integrate creativity, climate and social dynamics into every project.
Scalable impact. Bring equal rigor to boutique residences and large-scale mixed-use developments.
Sustainability & innovation. Advance environmentally responsible design while embracing new technologies and methods.
Regional leadership. Build a trusted presence across Egypt and the MENA region through context-driven design.
Client-centric collaboration. Develop long-term relationships through clear processes and tailored solutions.
Scope of practice
Architectural design. Culture, climate and purpose given architectural form at every scale.
Urban design & planning. Connected districts and public spaces shaped around people.
Landscape architecture. The relationship between built form, nature and everyday life.
Design supervision. Care for design intent as decisions move toward execution.
Landscape architecture. Site planning, outdoor spatial design, circulation, ecological systems and environmental integration.
Our role
Identify problems and opportunities, develop and evaluate alternatives, and help clients turn their vision into environments with meaning and relevance. Our role connects architecture with urban design, context, scale and the experience of public space.
Strategic positioning
Our role as a strategic partner brings architecture, urban design and engineering into the broader development conversation. We work with clients toward commercial value, considering return on investment, joint-venture opportunities and human-centred communities alongside design quality.
Project environments
Residential urban developments, coastal resorts, mixed-use and hospitality destinations, commercial and administrative buildings, private residences, apartments, and cultural and educational projects.
Project journey
- Research and Brief. Understand the site and define the project. Existing conditions, activities, needs, safety requirements and specialist recommendations are brought together with the client’s objectives.
- Concept Design. Explore architectural concepts. Spatial relationships, circulation and alternative solutions become a preliminary presentation for discussion and review.
- Design Development. Refine the agreed concept in response to technical requirements. Layouts, materials and systems develop together as the proposal becomes more precise.
- Technical Documentation. Translate the design into coordinated information. Architectural drawings and engineering disciplines establish a clear basis for the work ahead.
- Construction. Carry the design intent into the built environment. Execution and site coordination connect the decisions made during design with the realities of construction.
- Evaluation & Occupancy. Consider the life of the place beyond completion. Handover, facilities and occupancy close the project’s design journey and inform its continued use.
