Karim Nader Studio

Karim Nader Studio is an Architecture and Design company founded by Karim Nader in 2016 with addresses in Paris, Beirut and Dubai. The portfolio of current work contains projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Ivory Coast, France and Lebanon and varies in scale from conceptual retail concepts to office towers, hotels and houses. Karim Nader is an architect whose work is silent, but never still. Contextually and textually engaged, he practices design fervently and conscientiously, believing that architecture moves through nature as much as nature moves through architecture. Nader graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture with distinction from the American University of Beirut in 1999. He was the first prize winner of the Azar Award as well as the third prize winner of the Aareen Award for excellence in architecture. In 2003, he received his Master of Architecture from Rice University (Houston, Texas, USA). Celebrating 20 years of thinking and building architecture, “For a Novel Architecture, ciné-roman 2000-2020,” published in Italy by LetteraVentidue is the first retrospective book produced in the form of a visual and textual narrative. The book was awarded Le Geste d’Or in Paris in December 2021.
