Our Story
Younis Architects is an architectural and interior design practice based in Egypt with a global client base who share our goal of a better human experience.
Over the last nine years, our founder - Hesham Younis- has been on a winding path in architectural practice between employments, administration and partnerships and ended up starting his own , offering his clients what he believed is essential the most, an outstanding quality of work and a delightful whole experience, with a team aligned and pushing hard to offer a great service on their own terms.
We're here to enhance people's story, to thoughtfully design around their experience, not just during the lifespan of a building, but we’re keen to extend that experience way back from the moment we’re in contact with a potential client.
