01 Studio

Three decades of designing, engineering and building across Lebanon.

AAA — Atelier of Art & Architecture — is a full-service office of multidisciplinary architectural services, founded by Ghazi Elias Ghosn in Zahlé in 1993.

Our team of engineers delivers carefully elaborated projects with creativity, innovation and a deep understanding of materials and technologies. Respecting the needs of the client, and the topographical and environmental constraints of every site, is our main focus.

We work from early concept design through a complete architectural service — civil, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering included — built on clear communication and trust.
